No actual song or lyrics (yet), but simply a notification I brought the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle to Finland with me.
Already thinking of writing up lists in my spare time, generally Saxon/Viking themed armies. A lot of big, hairy guys with some nice, friendly axes. I'm thinking almost all axes, except for maybe a few skirmishing archers. No cavalry- all men are equal, all men fight on foot. Parity even in Miniature Wargaming.
Maybe I'll be able to find some Finnish kids to Oldhammer it up with? I have no minis with me, but there has got to be a gaming club somewhere, right?
Perhaps not though. I took another tour of my school and filled out my schedule today. The other kids just stare at the exchange students. Just like the U.S., minus the few perky suck-up types who cosy up to others so they can find a conduit for their opinion.
I was told that I'll have to be the one to go out and make friends, but honestly, from the looks I got, I'm not sure if that's really on anyone else's mind. Perhaps not? Maybe I'm looking too far into the situation. Perhaps the stares today were of curiosity instead of "Not another exchange student... Six of them?". Regardless, I felt quite uncomfortable in the school setting, considering I've taken 6 classes (I only had to take five), and the classes are taught in Finnish. I'm taking remedial Swedish (only one they'd let me), mid level French, Music, Finnish History, "advanced" sport, and an English class. The English class was highly recommended for the first period, and it should be easy. Also, it should help in the reverse- I should learn more Finnish from the class. Hard to explain, but it makes sense to me.
If it isn't obvious, Finnish kids intimidate me. I can't go in tomorrow with that attitude, so I guess I'll just walk in with a smile on my face, and be ready for the worst.
Sorry for the insecurity.
The worst:
Just a little dark humor to brighten everyone's day.
