Wondering What Tomorrow Will Bring...

I cannot believe how quickly this new Finnish course of mine is going to go. Yesterday we did some things in the 1h30mins that we didn't even get to until Finnish 2 of my last course. I am thinking that tomorrow will be sort of a refresher day. One that will let us expand upon what we were taught yesterday (I hope). The teacher isn't stingy with the homework either. She gave us plenty. I will do the written work tomorrow. It isn't going to take long at all. Right now I am just worrying about saying things out loud. That is my biggest issue anyway. So you know what? I am not really worried about what tomorrow will bring. I'll just find out when I get there and take it in stride. Today I am just going to focus on getting ready to go to the ooppera! Nope, I didn't spell opera wrong. I just used the Finnish spelling. For my birthday my husband bought me the best gift ever!! Tickets to go see The Marriage of Figaro. That is where we will be at 7 tonight. If anyone needs to find me just look on cloud 9!

Day 1

Today I begin my new Finnish class at Helsinki University! Kai is even going to take me there! He is so sweet!! I hope that everything goes well.

Fall!!

The weather is starting to cool off and I love it! This week I have noticed that the leaves on the birch trees are changing colors as well and they look lovely! My dad even sent me the cutest little Fall ornament for my birthday (last Saturday I turned 'old' according to the hubby!!)!! I suppose that means when I begin my new Finnish class next week I'll be making stops to the coffee house either on the way there, or on the way home!

Another Finnish Course

My fabulous husband helped me register for a Finnish for Foreigners course which is offered at Helsinki University. Most students in the class will actually be enrolled in the university, but they offer remaining spots to people who would like to learn the language once everyone has finished enrolling. Luckily I got one of those places, and I couldn't be more excited. I took a Finnish course through the employment office but I have been told numerous times that it is not as good as the course offered at the university, and I am serious about learning this language. This class will only be 2 days a week as opposed to the 5 day a week course I took before, but there is a lot of independent work that goes along with it. It also gives you the opportunity to work on what you are learning and have it soak in before moving onto something else. My other course kept throwing new things at you everyday and I never felt like I truly understood something before we moved onto a new topic. So I am really looking forward to this new course!!

Love Cadbury!!

I was in the WTC shop that sells American and British food items the other day and noticed that they sold Cadbury Creme eggs. I love Cadbury's! I was going to buy one because they are sold individually, until I noticed the price: 1,60 euros. That is the same as $2.27! I just couldn't force myself to buy just ONE egg for that price. So I walked away from that huge basket full of creme eggs, and have been craving them ever since!

Going To Watch My Brother Get Married!

Got a CD with my brother's wedding on it in the mail today. The hubby and I couldn't be there for the actual occasion, so they sent us copy of it. He has been married a month yesterday. Congrats Adam! Thanks for the CD.
