It's 2 AM on Sunday/Monday morning. It's obvious to say, but I made it to Europe in one piece last Thursday. Been visiting with lots of family, gone to graduation parties, and eaten all of my favorite Finnish food. I'm anxiously waiting for next Saturday, the day I leave for Paris and study there for 6 weeks!!! I realized today that I probably haven't looked at anything French for a couple of months, so I went and bought this month's Cosmopolitan at the bookstore. But until Saturday I will be in Finland, venturing around.
My brother headed back to the states today, so now it's just me, mom and Rockey. My mom and I went to Aino- a Finnish restaurant on Esplanaadi in Helsinki. Had some creamy salmon soup and rye bread- with a glass of white wine of course. Saturday, we spent our day graduation party hopping. My cousin and my godparents son both graduated, so to say they were going all out partying is an understatement. Especially with the godparents. :)
Tomorrow I'll be heading to Tapiola to see my friend, Silja, from 8th grade along with my friend Markus from- get this- CHURCH CAMP. Yes, once upon a time, I did attend one of those. ONCE.
Have yet to go to our sauna, so I'm planning on that to happen tomorrow night after a loooong bike ride around the country side, as I'll be heading back up to the east coast after lunch + shopping with Silja.
I'm sitting on my balcony in Kauniainen, and I swear, I think it's starting to get brighter!!! The sun's coming back!!!!!! It's just been dusk-esque until now, but seriously. Bleh. I'm never going to be able to sleep here.
