Helsinki was cool! I got to see Dad perform with his turntable group, which was awesome as always. He is so hip! We took a day trip via ferry to Estonia - no big - which was old and clean and had one of those cool onion-dome churches. Over the weekend, I ate elk, wild boar, reindeer, and bear. And turnips, and sweet onion jelly. They do creative things with meats and tubers up in the north, instead of just doing predictable things with fruits, fish, and spices like they do in the warmer regions. Interesting, right?
Mark is visiting now - a friend from school - and he came to class with me last night and enjoyed it.
My reporting teacher has nearly convinced me that financial journalism is a good way to get into journalism - plus you need to know German (I do!), and they always need people, and economics are important (though I haven't survived intro to Econ yet...)
Mark & I will go to Berlin this weekend, after which I am never ever traveling again. I am so tired, just exhausted from all the sightseeing and moving around. It is overwhelming. My friends in my program here, my roommates and everyone, are feeling the same way. I just want to chill and focus on my studies (which are getting cooler and cooler by the minute - lots of neat projects coming up!).
