Vappu was awesome and I will upload pictures from then one day. One day! Nice sunshine, lovely people, not too many druns in our part of Kaivopuisto, 45 minute queues for the bathrooms, the usual :)

I left the parc around 6pm, I had been there since 8am and up since around quarter to 6 with very limited sleep the night before. I was dead tired but those days are well worth it.

Now it's "active Sunday" time. I had a really nice run this morning and this afternoon we're playing Ultimate frisbee again. It's not the favourite sport of CS Helsinki. Mainly because I said so :p

Today and tomorrow are probably my two favourite days in Finland. I love Vappu so much, it's just beyond incredible. Maybe it's because it was on April 30th and May 1st that I met the people who made my summer just amazing last year but I'm just in love with those days. For many foreigners, it's a day when Finns get drunk beyond reason but for me, it's just a wonderful tradition.

Tonight, people will gather at the Amanda (Manta) statue on Esplanadi and the statue will get washed and then she will receive her student cap. It's a great opportunity to drink some sparkling wine... although this year, I went for a small bottle of good French champagne. If I am going to drink something, it'd better be high quality. Afterwards, some people don't even sleep till the next morning but I'll just go to a party and leave before the last tram goes. I need a night full of sleep if I want to be in the park at 8am the next morning!

Tomorrow, we'll be in Kaivopuisto having a picnic. It will be marvelous, it really will. This year I've decided to fully enjoy it without alcohol, I've grow up quite a bit in the past couple of months and, especially after the Hki-Stockholm-Hki cruises, I've decided cheap alcohol is just not for me.

I can't stop smiling today. And I bet that smile won't go away for a while yet.

Current Mood: excited

Let's see raw food experiment is going great. It seems that I manage to eat tons of stuff now and in the end, when I look at the caloric intake, well it's not that much which kind of sucks. I think most people don't realise just how much more input cooked stuff like bread brings in, it's kind of scary.

On Thursday there is this really special Manta-gets-her-student-cap thing going on, it's going to be quite fun and of course, huge picnic on Friday. I really do hope we get the same spot this year, last year was quite a lot of fun.

Righty-o.

Current Mood: happy

I wish I could ski again.

Pictures does not reflect how I'm feeling at all

Well, that's it from the land of the normal
