End of November, Welcome December!!!

Where should I start! I think my only fan (Siri) is the greatest inspiration to writing this post, in addition to the fact that I felt that my blog was looking at me with puppy eyes "you-can't-abandon-me-or-can-you?"

So just to summarize the latest months: I travelled to Estonia in the end of the October for the National Session of EYP Estonia, had a blast! Loved working with the session newspaper and videos. The videos can be found under "8th estonian EYP national session" or so in YouTube, I think the humour is quite inside one, so you'll probably think that EYP is something for nutcases. I fell sick after the trip, I wont recommend 2-5h of sleep five nights in a row to anyone.
22nd-26th Nov. I went to Paris to visit Erasmus people. Axel, Lexane, Mila, Julie and Johanny. It was soooo good to see friends again(who live way too far away). axel has posted pics on Facebook and I'm tagged on those, so you should be able to see them on my profile as well.
I loved Paris, the fact that the city never sleeps and there are so many things to do and experience. On the other hand, i don't think I could live there for longer periods of time, the city is enormous and the amount of ppl everywhere....it really makes me feel like a small Finnish girl raised up in Finnish woods..LOL
So yeah, I saw the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame(no Hunchbacks in sight), printemps roof, where they had an ice labyrinth and signs for how far it is to the Nordic countries (the Xmas theme is Nordic Xmas:), Montmarte, L'Arc de Triomphe, Louvre (for sure, Mona Lisa is small)
++++ lots more

Apart from the trips I've been working and studying. I passed both of my exams from the first period and this period I've Computer Sciences( I hate MSOffice 2007), International economic Relations and Swedish. had my Swedish exam today, I think it went okay, but I was tired.(too much skyping late at night)

I'm throwing a bday party on the 15th December, I realised that I got to do it, so that I'll finally get my flat nice and clean(before xmas) and well, it wont hurt to see people that I haven't seen for a while. The autumn has really been far more busy than the spring in the NL, yet again I feel like I've had enough relaxing Sundays with watching Big Brother with Sanna:)

Can't wait for the Xmas, the decorations and Xmas lights in paris were breathtaking, but I still think we've have an advantage compared to them; real snow:) Now I'm just waiting when they'll make the ice in the sports field outside of my window, so I can start doing ice skatinggggg..and drink hot chocolate afterwards:)

December wishes,
hugs and kisses
