Penkkarit - "benchpressing fest"

Last week abiturs (third/final-year students) celebrated ending of the school. We don't have regular school anymore!! Now we have to start reading for our matriculation exams, so we don't have that much free time, buhuu. But our leaving party was amazing and now I try to tell something about it.

Last thursday we had a speacial day when we dressed up like fools and went to school. The party included for example singing funny songs about teachers, good food and a parade.  As you can see from the picture, we rode on trucks around Oulu and shouted slogans and thew candy at junior students and passers-by.

 We had really fun time shouting and screaming our school's name "LYSEO" to other schools. After the parade my throat was sore, but it was worth it. :D Here is a picture of some costumes!

From right to left: Our friend Laura as Zorro, Niko as crazy granny, me as hippie and Tarja as Johnny Depp from Dead man. 

At evening we had afterparty, where also teachers were invited. We partied in a night club with our teachers, and it was quite absurd but fun. :----D
