That pretty much sums up the most important events recently. Today has been the first day since I moved to Jyväskylä when I have woken up in the morning and I don't have to go anywhere and I love it. I don't think I could have taken much more of being constantly going somewhere, today has been exactly what I needed. Well, I wrote a five-page paper about state funding versus tuition fees for university for my academic writing class, which took about five hours, but all in all it has been about relaxing. I noticed a funny thing with that assignment, though. I made a list of all the assignments and homework I have to do and I actually did start with the only one that I knew was going to take forever and would totally melt my brain. But this way, I only have stuff tomorrow that will be quickly done. Well done, me.
Okay, so the roses. Last Saturday I was playing piano at the wedding of my brother-in-law-to-be's brother (hahahah still so funny) and it was such a beautiful wedding and I had a blast. Everyone liked my playing and I looked totally stunning, even if I say it myself. I should probably start making a bit more effort on a daily basis as well, especially since I caught the bouquet! This obviously means that I'll find my prince charming from the campus within a year since I heard something about it having to happen within a year from catching the bouquet but that's fine by me. More than fine, actually.
On to the booze. Strongly related to the previous topic, though, even if it might not always be the best idea. On Thursday we had sitsit, which is an academic party where we sit by long tables and drink, sing and eat. In this order, literally. I had a blast, I laughed and sang so much and got to talk to some people I haven't talked with that much yet. During one evening I managed to speak Finnish, English, Swedish, Spanish, Russian, Estonian and probably a few other languages. That can speak for itself. Spanish was fun, though, never knew I can actually speak it when I've had a few drinks. So had the other part of the conversation, though, so I don't really know if it made any sense after all.
I ended up going to sleep at 3.30 am setting the alarm to wake me up three hours later so I wouldn't miss my information and communication technology-lesson and I woke up pretty sure I hadn't really slept at all and was still a bit drunk. However, image processing and power point presentations were not too hard (neither a good enough reason to get up, to be exact, but it's a little too late for that) and after two other lessons I got to hang out with my mom who came to visit me. Funny, how when I go home it is still my home but when she comes to my place, she's a visitor. Never really thought of that before.
Anyway, sitsit was such a fantastic experience we'll do it again next Thursday. Almost my entire family will come visit the following day so I gotta try to get a little bit more sleep than the first time. But, what can you do when you are out there having fun, singing karaoke, gaining student life experiences and bonding with your new friends, go to sleep? Hell no.
