Finally here!

What a "day" this has been!

Boring airport things:
My brother takes me to the airport at 4am. I had only slept 3 hours and was so excited/nervous. Long 7 hour layover in Chicago was made worse by boarding and then not taking off until 3 hours later v_v but at least we made it! I was sitting next to this Russian guy who showed me pix of his family at vacation and I made friends with a girl from Finland. Then I flew from Helsinki to Oulu! It is so beautiful here. Trees EVERYWHERE!


I took the bus to campus where I met my kummi, Saara. She showed me to my apartment and answered questions I had. I have SO many! I am totally lost here. Especially without a phone. I need to get one soon!
my room! nice view
bathroom. notice the shower
little kitchen area












I then met my roomie! She's from India and has been here for 4 years. I'll ask her how to spell her name before i write/butcher it. 

The apartment reminds me A LOT of hutchens/hammonds dorms except we each have our own room. 

main entrance to campus

I only walked around campus a little bit today. I'll go inside and tour it tomorrow at orientation.I also went shopping for some items. Let me tell ya, it's hard business shopping when everything's in a different language and package.

Well, that's pretty much it. I haven't unpacked anything. It's only 9:30pm here, but I am falling asleep while typing this, so I'm gonna go. 

Until next time!

    I'm glad to hear that your roommate is not American like we were talking about. ha. Ask her to teach you her native language while you're at it!
