Life: Here and There

1st off: IT'S NOVEMBER! WHAT ZE HECK?! sloooowwww down time! I'm in no rush!

That being said: Where did "no shave November" come from? I tell people here about that and they all think we crazy! :D

Me and my French friend, Geraud, drew
French and American stereotypes while
we were bored in Finnish History class.

Speaking of CrAzY America ways... I missed being home for the first time since arriving here this past Wednesday. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I was very sad to miss out on it! It's not really celebrated here which is depressing, but oh well... Guess this means I'll just have to throw a costume party when I return to the states to get my fill of it! :D

Now I will update you on other various things concerning my life back home:

1. I registered for my classes for next semester... MY LAST SEMESTER OF UNDERGRAD!!! OMG!! THIS IS IN-SANE! O_O
2. I have an interview via Skype this next Thursday for the Peace Corps!!!! So excited! Soooo nervous!

Back to life here in good ol' Finland:

1. Me and some friends bought tickets to the Nightwish concert/movie premier in Helsinki next Saturday!!!!!! I HAVE BEYOND PUMPED!
2. It's a ways off, but speaking of concerts, I will be going to the Poets of the Fall concert in Helsinki on December 8th!! AAHHH!!!!!
3. Snow! There has been snow/ice all week, but it (mostly) melted today so it's safe to ride bikes again :D
4. I have a lot of homework that I really need to get to work on :/
5. This Sunday me and some peeps will be going to the university's choir concert. It's Mozart's Requiem and three of my friends are in it so it should be good!
6. I will also be going ice skating with my kummi family if the weather is agreeable! :D

That about does it! Sorry this post wasn't so exciting, but I had a lot of announcements I needed to make! haha! You really should listen to the bands (Nightwish and Poets of the Fall) if you haven't heard them. They are really great!

Until next time,

Pizza, cookies, and friends!
