Matka tänne Green Bayhin oli lievästi sanottuna stressaava, väsyttävä ja mielenkiintonen. Tosiaan kaikki meni hyvin Chicagoon saakka, mut siitä alko sitte alamäki. Helsingin lentokentällä tapasin kuus muuta vaihto-oppilasta, jotka oli kanssa tulossa chicagoon, ja yhessä sitte lennettiin Lontooseen, jossa tavattiin vaihto-oppilaita kaikkialta euroopasta. Loppujen lopuksi meitä lensi Chicagoon noin 30 henkeä.

| tällee se matka pitkälti meni |
Tosiaan Chicagossa ei sitte oikee mikää menny suunnitellusti.. Ensinnäki en meinannu ees päästä Chicagoon kun meidän viisumeita tarkistettiin. Mut onneks se sitte selvis ihan kivasti. Sitte ei oikee tiietty että mihin ois pitäny mennä, vaikka meillä oli kylläki saattajat, mikä oli tosi hyvä! No siinä sitte mentiin kaikki turvatarkastukset ymsyms ja joskus siinä neljän aikaa istuttiin alas odottelemaan seuraavaa lentoa. Jolle mä en koskaan päässyt. Lennon oli siis tarkoitus lähteä 20:00 ja siinä joskus 19:30 tapasin erään pojan norjasta joka oli myös lentämässä Green Bayhin, empähän ainakaan panikoinut yksin. Odoteltiin yhdeksään asti ja siinä joskus puol 10 aikaa meidän lento peruttiin, koska Chicagossa oli myrsky, niin lentokoneet eivät lentäneet mihinkään suuntaan (mun suomen kieli kuulostaa ihan kamalalta mut uskokaa tai älkää, tää on oikeesti aika vaikeeta kirjottaa oikeella kieliopilla ku oot puhunu kolme vuorokautta pelkkää englantia ja oot tosi väsyny) Mut joo sitte tän norjalaisen host vanhemmat tuli hakemaan meidät siinä joskus yhen aikaa yöllä ja oltiin kotona joskus 4 aikaa.. Eli matkustaminen mulla kesti noin 32 tuntia.
No sitteku vihdoin pääsin nukkumaan ni nukuinki sitten 14 tuntia ja heräsin suoraa illalliselle. Illallisen jälkeen oltiin koko perhe tässä olohuoneessa koneilla tai tableteilla ja juteltiin vaan. On ollu täällä vasta kaks päivää ja oon jo ihan rakastunu koko paikkaan! Outoo tosin puhuu englantii koko aika, ootan vaa että joku alkaa puhuu suomee, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Mulla kaikki täällä hyvin, ja nyt aattelin mennä syömään aamupalaa ja kattoo tuleeko telkkarista jotain mielenkiintosta. Öitä Suomi!
The Travel to Green Bay was Stressing, tiring and interesting to say the least. All went well till Chicago, but from there everything just went downhills. At the Helsinki airport i met 6 other exchange students who were also traveling to Chicago. We flew to London together, where we met exchange students from all over Europe. After all there were about 30 of us exchange students flying to Chiacgo.
In Chacgo nothing went as planned. First of all I barely even got to Chicago when they were checking out visas but thank god that worked out pretty well at the end. After going through all the security checks etcetc we were just sitting around waiting for our flights to leave. Well i never got to my last flight. My flight was supposed to depart at 20:00 and at about 19:30 i met this guy from Norway who was also flying to Green Bay so at least i wasn't panicking alone. We were waiting till 9pm and at about 9:30 our flight was cancelled because there was a storm in Chicago. Luckily after some phone calls we were able to get a ride from this guy's host parents, so we didn't have to spend the night at the airport. So my traveling lasted for about 32 hours.
Well when i finally got to bed i slept for 14 hours and i woke up straight to eat dinner. After the dinner we were all just sitting here on laptops or ipads and just talking. I've been here for 2 days and I'm already in love with this place! It's just so weird speaking english all the time, I'm waiting for someone to start speaking finnish at any moment, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Well everything's good with me, now I'm just gonna eat some breakfast and see if there's anything interesting on the tv. Good night Finland!
