Estonian Day No. 42.

Meeting Lisa was fun. I had the description of how to get to the shops and yet we somehow went another way but arrived where we wanted to be all the same. Second-hand shops are really ridiculous. They have some nice stuff sometimes, but only in sizes that no normal person fits in, and everything else you would only wear for theme parties. Luckily, I was looking for something to wear for the reggae theme party next Saturday.

And I really found a nice skirt in the first shop. In this street, there were said to be four or five shops. Lisa and me found three, and one was closed - what a pity! That one seemed to sell everything for 0,30€!!! Well, the next shop was even more funny than the first one though it was much smaller. They had a jacket that was all golden, and trousers made of snake skin. But the stuff there was far cheaper. I even tried one of the four wedding gowns on (who the hell would ever look for a wedding gown in a second-hand shop?!), it was quite pretty, just not very white anymore, and it fit really well, and it was only 12€... But despite this blog's name, reason won and I left it in the shop.

Afterwards, Lisa showed me a nice pizzeria where they had 24cm-pizzas for max. 3€ and we had lunch. It was really tasty! There seemed to be some manga-fans-meeting that day in Tartu, so weird people in strange costumes ran around, also in that pizzeria, but it was fun to watch them.

Later, I brought Lisa to the bus station and met Laura, my younger support person. We went to a nice cafe in Tasku that Kätlin had shown me and where we had celebrated Leonie's birthday, and we had some special house cake - that one is really amazing! Then we walked through the vanalinn and up to Toomemägi, then we already seperated again. Laura was nice, I like her.

Today, I got a 5 in füüsika. I was sooo happy! I am very glad that my teacher always translates the tests for me. That's incredibly kind of him. After choir, I finally managed to talk to my music teacher about where to get a guitar. He showed me a home page and promised to have a look himself and tell me when he finds something. Again and again, there are moments when I can't believe how much the teachers do for me. This was one of them. Another one was when my journalism teacher started teaching half of the lesson in English so that I can understand and participate. I really appreciate that!

I went to the Floorball training today. It was hard because nobody explained anything, but I did my best and I think I wasn't much worse than the other girls. ;) Back home, I talked to Leonie on the phone for half an hour. It just feels too good to speak real German...

    No, we didn't take pictures. But I'm sure we'll take a lot at the reggae party... :D
