Halfway through the 2nd period

The second period has started well I've been quite busy with homework and stuff. But luckily we had the autumn half term 13.-19.10. As you can see in Jylla we have the whole week off but it isn't so in every high school, because the school can choose to have the whole week or just a few days off.
The holiday came just at the perfect time.

After the holiday it was a bit hard to get back in to the school routine. We had some homework during the break for example in Finnish class we had to read a book called Nukkekoti by Henrik Ibsen and on thursday last week we wrote an essay of it. We have had some homework in health ed that have been on Fronter so I've been doing them also.

Now we are halfway through this period, three weeks until this years second exam week. I should probably start studying for that soon. Luckily I've only got four exams that I need to study for.

2nd period

So on Wednesday the second period started. It was weird that the new period started immediately after exam week because I am used to explanation day which we had in our school but now it's been taken away. Explanation day was the day after exam week when we went through the exams and quite often we got our exams back on that day. Wel anyways it was weird because you had to "empty" your brain and restart in one afternoon because explanation day has been a day when you can relax before you'll have to start studying. 
  
I n my opinion my tests went well and hopefully the grades will be the ones I am expecting. I'll find out when the teachers will be giving the tests back maybe I'll even show you what high school exams look like.

My schedule in this second period is quite easy. In this period I have English, Finnish, Russian, social studies and health education. Here is a picture of some of my books for this period.

Oh! I almost forgot we had a photo shoot on Thursday and all of you ninth graders will be getting a booklet and maybe you'll see some familiar faces. =)
