I'm back in Helsinki and was rather abruptly thrown back into the cycle of getting up early, going to uni and enduring the busses that take the long route through Lauttasaari. I travelled back to Helsinki on a night train from Oulu, but as usual, couldn't sleep before 2 and after that woke up every hour. My friend M (duno if she wants her name on my blog) came to stay the night so we dumped all our stuff in a taxi and went to my place. We talked all day and went to eat and shop, then came back and had a 'middle class picnic' (think brie and olives) and watched Casanova (the one with Heath Ledger). In any case I didn't sleep until 12 and M's alarm went off at 6, after which I couldn't sleep. So, about 9 hours in two days :D
This morning I had to get up and go to university to start tutoring the new students. It was nice to see who had got into uni and they all seem nice. It'd be nice to see some of them taking part in fuksiaiset, but I'm not sure. It was a bit stressful because foreigners (including myself) bring allsorts of paperwork problems with them when they arrive here and today was no exception. It's hardly surprising, you get hit with a paperwork bomb and are expected to clear up the debris yourself.
After I was done tutoring for the day I met friends from Unilang. One is from Finland and the other is Hungarian. It was great to meet them and and I'm thankful for the cherry liqueur choclates, thanks!
Tomorrow I have another long day of tutoring but A comes back from Japan tomorrow and I can't wait to see what he's brought me as a souvenir (never mind him coming back, all I'm interested in is what he got me :D) and to see the pics he took.
