Done

Last piece of schoolwork delivered (2:30 am), now I just wait to see if I passed. Fingers crossed.

Hot in herre

I'm sitting on my bed, writing my last piece of schoolwork and sweating. Omg this heat! Too much for a pale Finnish girl.

São João

On Saturday there was a Party. The whole city was the venue. You can read a bit about it here.

First we went to the city to eat some sardines. The whole city stank like sardines, every reastaurant had his own grill and some private people as well. 

Then we started to discover the strange thing about the evening: everybody had a plastic hammer, and they hit each other in the head. So we were eating and got hit with the hammers, we walked towards the river and got constantly hit by hammers. That's supposed to be for good luck. Then there were other things like garlic and mint  but I never figured out what those were for.

We went to a party at a friend's place, and they had the most amazing view to the river. Then at midnight there was the biggest fireworks that I have ever seen. I almost forgive the city of Porto for spending a ridiculous amount of money for that fireworks, when the money could be spent a bit more wisely. Anyway, later at night we hit the streets and there was so many people, good music and dancing on the streets, and more hammers of course. Definitely the most amazing night in Porto so far.

A comeback

I'm back. Finland was great, the wedding was beautiful and it was very nice to see many of my beautiful friends. As I was walking in Kallio, I was imagining that I was still living there and that didn't feel right. Luckily I don't have to worry about that for another year. Life is good in sunny Porto.

Emilia goes Finland

Wow, ten days since I updated this. I can tell you what's up: not much. I've been doing groupworks and studying, and not sleeping enough. Well I went to Primavera Sound festival, it was great. I'll post photos when I have the time.

Bags are packed, taxi ordered, wake up time: 03h30. Helsinki here I come!

Goodnight.

Finance

Yesterday, just when the exam of finance and accounting was starting, I realized that my calculator was home. Stupid me. So when I realized (in the middle of the exam) that I really won't survive without one, I asked the professor if I could run to the store downstairs and go buy a calculator (in Finland I would never deared to ask that). He said yes and I got a 3€ calculator, I'm not feeling too great obout that exam. The next try is in July.

Silence

A bit quiet again here. The reason is studies. This week I had two groupwork presentations and one exam. Next week I'll have one of each. Then I'll festival.
