Kaksi paras maa - The Two Best Countries

Moi kaikki!

Tänään on Penkkarit Muhoksen lukiossa, ja sitten on Vanhojen päivä huomiseksi! Voi ei olen jännittävä!!!! Ennen kuin kaikki alkaa, haluaisin kirjoittaa lyhyt posti.

Minä luulin, kun Olympia alkoi, että minä pystyin kannustaa suomen ja kanadalainen joukkuetta. Olen oppinut, naisen jääkiekon peliin jälkeen, että en pysty. Kun minä katsoin kanada/ suomi maanantaina, minä olin täysin Kanadalainen. Suomi on aivan mahtava, teidän maa on kaunis, erinomainen ja loistava! Mutta Kanada on minun kotimaa. Olen täysin Kanadalainen :D

Hey readers!

Today is the much anticipated Penkkarit! I'm currently sitting at school, waiting for the festivities to start. I'm really excited for today and tomorrow, I'm almost jumping out of my skin with nervousness and jitters! So to take my mind off it I thought I'd give you all a little post to tide you over until I write my Penkkarit/ WANHAT post.

So yes, I hope you all know, the Sochi Olympics have started, and I have been watching it quite a lot, I think more than any other Olympics I've ever been alive to experience. One theory as to why is the fact that I now have two countries to cheer for! It's exhausting keeping up with all the darn hockey games, haha! I've had a lot of people ask me, in a friendly way (except one time that was very much not friendly), "if Canada and Finland are competing against each other, for example in a hockey game, who will you cheer for?" My answer is usually "both!" or "I'd be happy and sad at the same time every time there was a goal." I really believed I could cheer for both countries... Until the Canada/ Finland women's hockey game this Monday. I didn't say anything out loud, but I was very much cheering for Canada. I realised at that moment that, as much as I adore Finland and love the Finnish people, Canada is my home. It's my country, and I'm proud of it. Don't get me wrong, I still cheer for Finland all the time, and sometimes even cheer when they beat a Canadian! But when it comes to hockey, sorry Finland, but second place will have to do; the gold metal of my heart is going to Canada.
