See the world, but don't die!

Vasa, Finland, Orthodox church

Seems like a pretty rational and sensible request, right? Well, according to a building in Vasa (Finland) it's not. I will not complain excessively about this, only a little bit to introduce this awesome opportunity I was given. Anyway, I will be honest and admit to smoking. I met a cool chick from Latvia and we were enjoying our break when I heard a bad sound coming from the roof. I knew in theory what it meant, so I told her to move away and did the same. Just as we were clear, a huge ass block of ice came down. It would have killed us both if it had hit. 

But really, that is the negative stuff about my educational visit in Vasa. I loved almost all of it. Mostly I love the people I met. They are all great fun to be around. There were about 30 of us I think. I didn't like only 2 of them and those are the ones I have to see every day in school. So, pretty good statistics, I think. 

We arrived on Friday evening and I was so tired I would have fallen asleep on the spot, but we had to make presentations and have a nice meal together. Later of course I got to sleep and that was interesting on its own. But no! I will not talk about my sleep regime. Saturday was also great, same with Sunday. We learned a  lot and later partied even more. Specially on Sunday. I drank too much, I'm not proud about that. So Monday was pretty bad for me. At least up until lunch time I was sick. A hangover might be the proper term for my condition. 

And on Tuesday we traveled back. That was a challenge again, because I was forced into a small space with my "dear" classmates. I'm not big on hate, but their behavior got me close. Very close. So, to screw them over a bit, I went straight into class, which they decided I shouldn't do, because they planned to skip school for a few days. I did it out of spite. And it felt good. I was tired as hell and slept for like 11 hours straight afterwards, but the feeling I got from it was priceless. I have to tell them that we got an assignment from the teacher already. 

Well, tomorrow will be a bit stressful, because our teachers are going to judge our practices. I feel I did well, but I don't know how they saw it. Guess I'll find out tomorrow Which brings me to my last point: go off-line and get to bed. It's time to sleep.
