I'm moving to nouw

I've decided to move my blog to nouw.com since blogspot is lacking a few things here and there.
Feel free to check my new blog at http://nouw.com/stellalexia

We cannot control the wind, but we can direct the sail.

I came home a few hours ago from a sailing trip. Matilda, Vera and I had passed the theoretical exam of a sailing course earlier this year and this weekend we had part one of the practical test.

So yesterday morning we packed, bought food to then head off towards "Djupskär" by sailing. We got the sails up quite quickly and about an hour or so passed. But then the winds stopped so we had to take the sails down and continue with the motor.

 

After a while we decided to stop at "Lars björkars skär", stay there for a couple of hours and then go back to the harbour.

So we made dinner and relaxed for a while until the real challenge would start.

A part of the course was to be able to sail in the dark so when the sun went down we started our journey back to the harbour.

I must say it was a bit scary to sail in the pitch dark since you really needed to know where to go. Unless you want to crash into some rocks of course. But 3 hours later we were finally back at the harbour. We then spent rest of the night in the boat and in the morning we packed our things and went home again.

Just keep climbing

I know I haven't been very active the past week but I got a fever and I've also been busy with a ton of schoolwork. But it feels great to be back!

I've finally finished a history project that I have a presentation on tomorrow and I'm so tired but since the bathroom is occupied I'm still forced to be awake for a while longer.

The past week has been quite hectic, I've done quite much actually.

My sister came on monday morning back from Helsinki and she brought with her some really good cupcakes 

On Tuesday I went to eat some pizza before scout 

And today the girls in our scout group went wall climbing, I reached the top and got to ring the bell!

You say Thursday. I say it's Friday eve.

Today I've just desperately tried to stay awake (which I failed since I fell asleep when I came home) since I didn't get much sleep last night. But luckily it's Friday tomorrow (or actually today). 

I don't have any plans for this weekend which I kinda like. And since I don't have that much homework either I'll probably just watch Netflix all weekend, but I'm not complaining. 

Or maybe I'll even clean my bedroom?

But lastly before I try to fall asleep I just want to wish you a happy weekend.

"Tea party"

On Tuesday the IB second graders held the annual tea party for us first graders which probably was the weirdest and craziest evening in a long time. 

We had to put trash bags on, got some face makeup and then we were sorted into groups to do a lot of crazy things to strangers such as dance with them, get their autograph, ask them to marry us and sing to them. After that we went to a place for some pizza but before that we had to play handball with a dead fish and then also kiss it. 

And finally a couple of people in the class went to a classmates apartment.

Tea and books are always a good option

Once again I can't fall asleep, it's starting to become a habit. My alarm will go on in less than 7 hours so decided to make some tea to calm myself  and continue read "the scorch trials". I've really been obsessed with the maze runner series lately.

 But being up late doesn't really seem so bad after all when I'm chilling with a book and tea in my new favourite cup, that I found a couple of weeks ago.

 I've been searching for a big cup for the past year so I got so happy when I found this one. 

There is no friend like a sister

 

Today I spent my afternoon together with my sister, we didn't really do anything special we just talked and made a few stops while walking since she needed to buy some groceries and I had to walk home. But that's good enough for me, no need to make any fancy plans when we're together.

Anyways I'm currently copying photos to my new laptop since my laptop feels so empty and I think I'm going to continue with that for a while but after that I'll quickly watch some YouTube videos before going to bed.
