Low key weekend...

Not a whole lot to report for the last few days...I went sledding yesterday though! It was cold as nuetzzzz (-teens during the day and I'm pretty sure it hit -30 as night fell) so moving around outside was good but being outside at night was not. Although we did have the most sun I've seen since being here! Goodness gracious great ballz of fire I miss the sun. I have taken sunny days for granted my entire life. I love it, I wanna be in it forever, and I never want to leave it again. This is most definitely a good experience and I am and will continue to enjoy my time while I am here but it just makes me realize that I am made for sunshine, heat, sand, and all things warm and tropical :-)!!!!! You can take the girl out of the beach, but you can't take the beach out of the girl! Last night I met a group of friends downtown in the city center at the Kebab House for dinner...by the way, the kebabs here are out of this world. Roasted meaty goodness wrapped in flour tortilla brilliance, smothered in yum delicious sauce with crispy, crunchy lettuce....I could eat them errrrryday! Today, it was also very cold so Alex and I drank beer for the better part of the day in my luxurious bedroom and just hung out. Oh, I did some laundry too! Although I've been working on it, I still don't have enough credit hours here to be considered full time back at good old NC State so I have a meeting about all that bullshiz tomorrow. And my BFFerz Amz is finally on my side of the world, which is definitely good news. Hopefully I'll be taking a little trip to Copenhagen to visit her for my 21st! I miss all my other peeps back home...and as strange as it sounds I wish my parents were coming for a visit sooner than they are planning! I may or may not miss Mike a little bit as well :-)

Here are some pictchaaaas from our sledding adventure....
I love this picture because it is so sunny out I have to squint!!!!!

Trekking to the hill for sledding!

Our little buttcheek sleds...they were free, I'm not complaining AND they kicked ass!

Getting ready to shred...

Sledding with the rest of the children


Lo siento for the boring blog today. (Throwing in some Spanish since I apparently am not able to take a Finnish courses while here and that is about all the foreign language you're going to get.)

Moi moi! (bye bye in Finnish!)

PS- just realized I never blogged about the Stammtisch....more on that later ;-)
