August 18th

It has been a busy week!

On Sunday I went to the park with my mom and yes I am aware that it's not an adventure per say but it was such a relaxing day. It was gorgeous out and I was blown away by how pretty the park looked. I have pictures to prove it!

I had an outdoorsy Monday, I spent it at my uncle's beautiful home. We had a small barbecue and after we just sat in the sun talking for hours. It was nice to catch up and enjoy the little bit of summer that there's left.

On Tuesday I went to see my friends' show. They are acrobats at a circus and they have amazing shows every year. This time it was more meant for children, to encourage them to join in and try a few tricks themselves but it was still impressive. 

After the show we said good bye to my friend Tea who is going to school in Amsterdam this year. Our farewell was pretty much 30 minutes of non stop laughing and joking around. She laughs at all of my jokes, I love her!

On Wednesday I saw my friend Maria and we went to see 'Elysium' starring Matt Damon. It was pretty decent, nothing amazing, a lot of blood from what I remember.

Best part about that day though: I got something for school! It's basically just a notebook but I chose it very carefully, I want to make a great first impression and walking in with an ugly notebook would just not help. I was torn between a Hello Kitty and regular one. I went with the latter... Boring, yes but I'm trying to go for the professional and ready-to-study-hard look.

I went out properly for the first time on Thursday! Although I was far away from Canada, we still celebrated Jazz's birthday in a big way. I had forgotten how it goes here in Estonia. I'm not going to get into detail about what happened but I have some crazy stories to tell you (in private)!

There was another acrobatic show where my friends were performing on Friday. This one was more serious and had more substance to it than the one on Tuesday. There was tightrope walking, hanging from the ceiling, playing with fire, juggling and a lot more. It was amazing. My friends are pretty awesome!

And then there's last night... Very similar to Thursday. Even worse. So here I am, spending my day in bed, watching 'The Office' yet again. And very happy about it too!

Tomorrow I'm going to another town, where my aunt lives to attend a song festival that we have every few years. It happens really late at night and we just come together to sing our nation's most popular and patriotic songs to celebrate our (second) Independence Day at a special stage in the centre of the town. I can't wait!

Ps. Starting tomorrow I won't have my phone for a while so I might be harder to reach. FaceTime still works on my laptop though! Just saying.
