A word about Spaniards...

After the long day spent in Estonia, a late start was necessary, as believe it or not, students do need to sleep sometimes....or at least I do. For those reading this were with me at these times, please forgive my inaccuracies, as my memory is somewhat foggy. Later in the day I had my first attempt at learning a Spanish card game which is somewhat of a nation treasure, called Mus. Gonzalo taught Alba, Yanyan and I how to play, and it instantly became a 'must do'.

It seems appropriate now to mention that of the Erasmus population present, the majority with whom I am friends are girls. Victor and Gonzalo are two really cool guys with whom I can share some banter with, so a shout out to both of them. Thanks guys!

Another week of lectures, including one gruelling Wednesday evening from four until eight about the history of Finland since the 1300s, read in a dulcet mono baritone by a professor who is otherwise a really cool guy. Last night we went to Amarillo, a Spanish themed place with criminally cheap alcohol. Needless to say, four hours sleep isn't the best prerequisite for getting up in the morning for a Finnish lesson. However, I achieved this and proceeded to sleep for a few hours in the afternoon, barely aiding me in the eviction of the cold from my body.

Here is something I forgot to post in an earlier entry, but in one of the orientation lectures we were shown this video, which is somewhat amusing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2ZJBh92SM

So I am finally up to date with recording my activities, and will continue to post every week, or when necessary...
