Hogwarts, Hogwarts, hoggy warty Hogwarts

"Welcome to Tykypahka's school of witches and wizards"
 Today we had Hogwarts theme day in school! Today our school was Tykypahka. Let me explain little bit the name. Hogwarts is in Finnish Tylypahka. Our school is called for short TYK. So we ended up being Tykypahka.
It was super fun and easy day for me today. I got my tests back ( I was pretty satisfied to the test's results) and watched performance that the drama classes had. I also ate Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans muffin, which is in the picture above.

These were our houses! Except they got new names... 
Second year students where like Ravenclaw students. Really in Finnish Ravenclaw is Korpinkynsi. In our school this house was called Korpinbeba. I'm second year students so this was my house. We were called cheeky and cocky.
Hufflepuff is in Finnish Puuskupuh. In our school they were called Puuskutuhnut, and they were first year students. They were called "hardworking" and stupid.
Gryffindor is in Finnish Rohkelikko. In our school they were Urhelikko and third year students. They were called smart and handsome. 
Slytherin is in Finnish Luihuinen. In our school they were called Lusmuinen. Those students were those who have choose to study four years in high school instead of three. They were called chubby and lazy.
Well what can I say... Third year students are always the "best" because it's their last year.
Since I was "Ravenclaw" student I decorated my black tie with the blue. My outfit was kind of school uniform like.
I actually thought about this picture of Hermione. I tried to adapt the look best that I could with such short warning time. I wore black skirt, white shirt, black cardigan and black tie with blue stripes. 
The school was decorated with the things that matched the theme. In one stairs there were the house hourglasses. Someone colored them during the day and gave points to the houses. When I had one free lessons, I had just enough time to wander around and take pictures of the things that were there.
It's Britney witch~
We had these all around the school. I guess they were representing the moving paintings, or were just pictures of great celebrities of  "wizard world". They were cool touch to the school and really funny too. 
These were all around the school's walls. And they were hilarious. I mean really. It was nice to get some laugh by just reading them. I have seen most of these already in the internet, but it was great that the theme day organizers had time for this. Points for them!
Also every class was newly renamed. Math's class was arithmancy's class, biology class was herbology class, chemistry class was potion class and so on. 
Also our sofa room was renamed as Room of Requirement, school's cafeteria was great hall, some classrooms were named as teachers offices. Our art class was Moody Alastors office and our principal's office was Snape's office and in the same time classroom  for Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Even the students cafe had Harry Potter themed goods. Like the Every flavor beans muffins and Hagrid's sad famous cookies. 

I had "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" even at the apartment
It was really cool and super fun day. It's nice to see the students to take a part in theme day. Almost everyone was dressed up to the theme and had wands and brooms with them. The organizers did wonderful job. They really put effort to this. I think this is one of the best theme days there has been in our school at my time Well how else? I'm Harry Potter nerd. This was great way to start weekend!

Shopping desire~

Today I wore wine purple skirt, black top and black cardigan. I actually didn't buy the skirt myself. My cousin choose it to me last time I saw her. I think it's really cute and it wasn't even expensive! I know it because it was our deal. We both tried to found outfits for each others and the whole outfit could cost only 18€. It was really fun. I think we could maybe do that again after Christmas when the sales start.
Seriously talking though, I would love to get some new clothes. Something like in the picture above. Those clothes just look so pretty. Maybe I could suggest to some of my friends that we could go shopping now than the test week ends. I really need more cute skirts and some shirts.
Today I finally got new curtains to bedroom. First we tried them to living room with my mom. Well really they didn't look good in the living room so we put them to bedroom. I think the curtains fit the bedroom pretty well. Right now the whole room is pretty white. Maybe some nice colorful painting on the wall would be nice.
So right now I'm just resting little bit and reading Harry Potter and deathly hallows.It's been couple years since I read it last time so now I'm reading it again. My mom left back to home, since there has been some electricity problems, so I'm at the apartment alone the next couple days.
Tomorrow I will be having the test week's last test. It's a test that I can't really read much, since it's about analyzing a poem. I'm little nervous, but I guess it will go alright.
Tomorrow, here in Finland, new TV series start to go on in TV. It's Hannibal! I'm really excited about this. I hope it will be good. It really seems interesting. So I hope it will be worth of being excited. I have always loved crime series, thought they have given me almost too wild imagination. I get scared pretty easily by Tv series, movies and plays. But that's okay. In the end I always remember that the persons in them are just actors.

Glitter swag


Last night I went to party with my friends. It was really nice for a change to go out and have fun. Party's theme was glitter swag. It was hard to figure out what to wear since I thought I don't own anything swag or glittery. Then I found my pink accessory glasses. I decided to decor them little bit and I added some plastic diamonds. I'm pretty satisfied in how they ended up looking like. Probably all the people I talked at the party said that the glasses looked awesome, so I guess they did.

Jack Sparrow is always swag

I ended up choosing just denim shorts and T-short. I felt it was the most comfortable outfit I could get for the evening. Besides, Jack Sparrow is will always be pretty swag, right? Well I made the right choice. I think it looked good and I didn't get too warm while dancing and jumping.
The party was held at some dance hall. At first when I heard where it was held I had my doubts about it. But it ended up being really good place to hold party. There was enough space. Thought it felt sometimes that the air was going to run out. So little breaks in between outside or at the sofas were nice too.
I'm so glad I choose flat bottomed shoes 
So we left to the apartment little over 12pm. We had to wait the buss quite a while, but it was alright. Three of my friends ended up sleeping at my apartment. We had just enough room for all of us so it was pretty perfect. We were really exhausted and hungry when we arrived to the apartment. Clock was probably 1am. So what did we do? We decided to order pizza.
So we ordered two pizzas. Everyone else fall a sleep before the pizzas even arrived. Well really I took almost hour them to arrive. But it was kind of worth of  wait. I paid the pizzas and woke everyone up and we ate. After that everyone just went sleep.
At morning everyone left home at the latest 11 am. So I have been cleaning after that and now writing here. I think I will spend rest of my day in peace and read Harry Potter. It's my second time probably when I'm reading this one - Half blood prince. Couple weeks ago I just thought that I want to read these again. 
I'm glad I can just rest this day and not worry about tomorrow. We have test week going on right now at my school. And some of my friends have test tomorrow. I already had two tests last week and my next is on Wednesday so I really don't need to worry about that today. Tomorrow I will be reading for the test, and that's a promise!
