First week passed with no problems~!
Curiously enough though, as I was going through my morning routine I noticed something crazy, I'M ABOUT TO START MY THIRD WEEK HERE! Time is already going by so incredibly quickly. I feel like I just got here less than a week ago and it's already been three weeks. I haven't done a lot, which is kind of a problem.
I really really really need to start working on my thesis again, but I just don't have any motivation to look up all the sources. I think what I might do is just write (since I know exactly what I want to say and I already know the information that I'm going to put into it), and then go back and change everything so I can add in sources. That might be better. I can write pretty quickly when it's all coming straight out of my head, but if I have to worry about sources and other things it really slows me down and keeps me unmotivated. Plus, if I finish up my thesis I can finally get back to writing my short stories!
Anyways, my first week of classes was more like a tester week. I only had one class on Wednesday and then Friday so it was a super easy week. The course is survival Finnish, and though I do like it, I find the teacher a little hard to understand. He's very nice, but he has a super thick accent and does what seems to be a very common Finnish thing where he just starts and stops talking at random intervals. I say it seems to be common because I hear Finns doing it in their own language too, so I know it's not just when they speak English.
Next week starting Tuesday is my real first week of school. I have one class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and two classes on Wednesday. Not so bad at all! I also finally get to open my Finnish bank account on Wednesday, so that means I'll finally start getting money from ISEP on the 30th, and I can pay in Euros online for fun things like hockey tickets and plane tickets ;)
Which reminds me, I might be going to Poland during my period brake in October to see Auschwitz and a few other major historical places so that's exciting! I'll get back to you on that though.
Talk to you guys later, Moi Moi~!
