Last weeks of the third period

Hey there! I thought I'd write a quick update on what has been going on :)

Last Tuesday we had our second visiting afternoon for 9th graders. There wasn't as many as there was the week before but there were a lot. This year we have had the most visiting 9th graders in a long time =D

So as you know we are in the middle of the third exam week of this school year. I've had three tests already (Finnish, physics & biology) and I have three left (Swedish, chemistry & geography)

Our Finnish test wasn't like a normal test. We had our test in EMMA (the museum of modern-art). In EMMA we had to fill in a paper with five questions and we had to use the things and knowledge that we had learned during our course. This was my fifth Finnish course and we had to study about literature and the literary movements (The Antiquity - postmodern).

For my Swedish & English or for any other language's test I use Google's study app called Quizlet. Quizlet is an app where you can write a word and an explanation or an translation for the word. Then you can choose between different studying techniques (games) which one you want to use for studying. Quizlet can also be acceseed via a computer or a smartphone or a tablet (An app is available for your mobile devices). I really like using Quizlet because it makes studying easier and you can even search for other people's wordlists and use them for your studying. (This is not an advert for Quizlet or Google, this is me telling about how I study)

Just a friendly reminder for all you 9th graders "Yhteishaku" is almost here and if you're still thinking of what school you want to go to go and have a look on Instagram: @jylla_tapahtumat, the school website jylla.fi and on Facebook: Espoonlahden lukio for more pictures and information.

This is a very inspirational quote for me and for anyone really=D. Especially if you have a dream or a goal just remember you can't achieve anything unless you try=)! 

First week of 2015

On Wednesday the 7th we had our first day of school after our Christmas holiday. After the holiday classes go on normally as if we hadn't had any holiday between our classes.

After the holiday we have 2,5 weeks of school and then we have our third exam week.I have 6 exams this exam week (Finnish, Swedish, biology, geography, chemistry and physics).The third exam week is the last exam week of the school year when Saturday is an exam day.

On Tuesday we had our first visiting afternoon for 9th graders. This means that 9th graders are welcome to visit our school and the tutor students show them around the school and tell them a bit of our school. We have a second visiting afternoon on Tuesday the 20th of January and we have a visitong evening for the parents of 9th graders on the 3rd of February and 9th graders are also welcome to come along their parents. 

Now I've got three days of school until the exam week begins on Thursday. Usually I start studying for the exam week 1-2 weeks before it starts because there is no possibility that you'll learn everything you need the evening before the exam. Studying for an exam means reading theory from the book and doing excercises. 

Here is a picture from the visiting afternoon on Tuesday.
