My graduation on june 1st 2002
On the stage with the other people who for one reason or another did one extra year of school (three exchange students besides me). We're waiting for the principal to call out our name and some people seemed VERY nervous.....
Here the principal gives me my report card, which was pretty nice. Others are still waiting.
Our boys gym teacher is giving me my scolarship (for french and math&sciences) which was a very nice amount of money...
Now everyone's got their report cards, money and hats. then the principal tells us to put the hats on (he says "Lakki p��h�n") and everyone claps like crazy....
At home (in our backyard) I had to do a lot of posing.. In the family picture from left Phoebe, me, Ulla, Olli, mom & dad. In the other one I'm trying to be a classic Finnish maid, do you think I'm succeeding?

Me & Ulla are wearing Finnish traditional costumes that our grandmother made for us. She did everything herselfself, even the thread for the fabric. Only problem was that those dresses are extremely hot and and it was VERY warm that day so we switched soon back to our other clothes.
