Hi!

I finally know what school i am going to attend in New Zealand! The school where i am going to go is TaylorsCollege and the location is in Auckland. Auckland is the biggest city in New Zealand.
  Why i chose this college is that i can study there biology, chemistry, geography and  art. What other subjects i could read there are for example physics, computer science, economics, english, math and lots of other subjects.
My favorite subjects in school are biology and art. In the other hand i also like very much chemistry and geography. I was very surprised that i found this college where i could study all of this subjects. In Auckland there are lots of different colleges and secondary schools so therefore thats the  reason why i get to choose which school i would like to go.  There were like over ten different colleges which to choose so it wasn't easy to choose which school i would like to go. There were also different schools for boys and girls which is for me little odd since i go normal school. But now i am extremely happy that i have done this school choosing thing. It was  very arduous...

Hi!
So this is my second blog post and now i am going to tell you about the tests what i made to day. My career counselor gave me a bunch of personality tests what i should do before i leave to New Zealand. So i watched these tests therefore i decided to do this color test for this reason that it looked the nicest of all the tests.
In the test i were have to choose first the color what i prefer the most. There were lots of different colors like blue to pink. After i had done that i were have to choose the color i like least. The test was very easy to do and for this reason quite easy to understand.
The results:
My results in that test was that i am 47% extravert and 53% introvert. I actually agree with my test results and for that reason it surprised me. Why i agreed with my test result is that i know that i am more introvert than extravert but i am not whole introvert. I am more in the middle of introvert and extravert. I usually don't trust these kind of tests for this reason that usually the results what i got in the test are like " you are definitely a introvert and you hate to be around the people". So this test result really surprised me in a good way.
Other results what i got in the test:
According to the results i am also very thoughtful, deep and thinking person. I am capable of listening to others and supporting them.
So this was my first test what i did.

The second test what i made was also another personality test. This second test was much longer and it took more time to do than the other test.
The results what i got in this test wasn't so different than the other test result. This test result said that i am INTP person. (introvert, intuitive, thinking and perceiving). These two results have quite much similarities. Both tests said that i am introvert, intuitive, perceiving and thinking person.
I don´t agree with every result what i got in this tests.
In reality i don't really think that i am so logical person and i don´t have win every argument when the test two said that i would usually win arguments.

My year on abroad

Hello everyone! My name is Veera and I am going on abroad next year. I have waited this so long ( about my hole life) and now it is finally happening! I can't literally wait my dream come true trip on abroad. I am going to New Zealand by the way. :)  Therefore that is the reason why I decided to start writing a blog. Why I decided to go to New Zealand is that I have always wanted to go to New Zealand.
I am going to write down here on my blog my all kind of experiences in New Zealand so if you are interested keep reading.
 First I am going to tell you something about my self. I am seventeen years old and I live in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The house where I live is block of flats and I live there with my family. In my family there are me, my mom, dad, big sister, and our lovely two cats. (Their names are Lady and Henrik) My hobby are jogging, swimming and playing violin. Music and sport are the most important thing in my life. I started playing violin when I was four and joined orchestra when I was nine. I have had ups and downs in playing violin but I never quite it. It is part of me and always been. Same goes with the sport. I love sport and it is making me feel good and alive. In sport I love in particular running on the woods or watching the sun light when you are diving under the water. It is very amazing feeling when you see how the light go through the water and how the sunlight enlighten the water around you. Those are the moments when you can only stare and think how beautiful the nature is around you. Family is also very important to me. They have always supported me when I didn't feel well or when I had a very important performance and I was scared to death about it. They also encouraged me to go on abroad and they are part of the reason why I am going now on abroad. So thank you for them.
The things what I also love to do is go shopping and hang out with my friends. My friends are also very important to me and I don't know what I would do without them. :)
So here is some basic information about me :) I try to write something soon so see you next time!
