The Finnish

When I first came here in March, Lison had just returned from a 2 week exchange program in Finland. Now there's a Finnish girl living at our house for the next few days. Yesterday they had all the girls over (the French and Finnish ones). I had no idea what nationality anyone was: I've only met like 4 of Lison's friends.
Anywho. Those Finnish girls are TALL. It was weird because pretty much, for the first time in my life, I felt really average. Here in France I'm still tall, even the guys are pretty short. But after seeing the girls yesterday I said, "Whoa. You Finnish girls are really tall. You're almost around my height. And you're only 14ish and 15ish. You're still gonna grow." They responded that yes, Finnish girls are quite tall. And then we babbled on about French people and their customs (they're not used to kissing on both cheeks either; handshakes all the way).
And you know what else? You'll never guess. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS YOUNGER THAN I WAS. THIS IS INSANITY. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
No really, it was cool. People always assume I'm older because of what I'm doing and my height. But they thought I was younger. Mind you, my hair was in a French braid which makes me look like I'm 10. Still though, pretty cool. 

Moral of the story: I'm moving to Finland to find a man :P

Facts about Finland that I randomly know (no internet):
-it's in the top 10 for happiest countries in the world
-capitol: Helsinki
-lots of white people live there

love.

Also, here are some photos from my Albi trip I took over a month ago:
