Kia Ora!
I have four more days in my second home Aotearoa and then it's time to fly back to Finland. In less than a week I'll be reunited with my family and friends, but I'll also leave my family and friends... There's many things I could say about how I feel, but that can wait few more days, here's what I've been up to for the last month in pictures:

| Starry night |
Hunter baked a mud cake...literally!
There's been a lot of good byes lately. Here's Inga's farewell party, she was the first one to go
And here's D 9910 debrief, last time together
Heaps of food and tears...
Not a goodbye, but "till the next time"
Barefoot like proper kiwis
This was Circus Kumarani's fire show
My last role in drama was the most fun to make
In case you didn't know what school buses look like:
Hard work through the term payed of and level 3 P.E mashed the mud run challenge! It was also surprisingly fun
My last day of school, which was also the last day of term, contained a lot of eating
It was good to finish my kiwi schooling with one last game of underwater hockey
Exchange student's of Dargaville High School 2014-2015. Miss you already...
My farewell party was quite surreal experience. My mind traveled back to another night like that almost a year ago, sitting in my counsellors living room surrounded by people I'd never met before and knowing I'd be living with them during the next year. Now I was sitting in another living room surrounded by the same people but this time mind full of memories of our time together. During the year I've been living with one family at a time concentrating on that part of my year, and now suddenly having all those memories rushing back to me was quite overwhelming. I'm not even gonna pretend that I did well with my speech. I wasn't too sure if I would be asked to speak and if so what I was supposed to say. However I didn't worry me too much because I had quite good idea in my head of what I wanted to say to these amazing people who've become like family to me. Naturally when it was time to for me to say these things I couldn't remember any of the things I wanted to say and I was a bit on edge after listening to all my host families giving their speech. So yeah, I broke down and only thing I can remember saying was "thank you" I hope they still got the point...
Only kiwis can watch rugby this intensively
And lastly here are some photos from the farm, how else would I start the holidays?
Interesting view from the living room window
In case you were wondering what dairy farmer's job looks like
That yellow stuff's milk btw
Who would've guessed baby cows are so incredibly cute?
And this is how they're fed
Looking for new calves
Found one!
But it didn't want to walk...
...So Coring gave it a ride
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
-JRR Tolkien
