My bad.

I've been in a funk and not really wanting to write. Oops. Heres the rundown:
Swedish is awesome. Classes are good. Friends sometimes want to hang out. I miss home. I really miss sunshine. My knee is fucked still. I really want all my music from Skyler. I have mastered grocery shopping, almost.
The main thing I feel like writing about is driving over here. They drive on the correct side of the road, which is nice. I think its just the silly Brits who don't. But it seems here in Finland the rule is: if you can get a car on it, its a road. I see people driving on the sidewalk, or over the sidewalk, all the time. I have yet to figure out a rhyme or reason for it. Its Finnish, I reckon.
The mission for tomorrow is go to the S Market under the train station and buy some more Twinings English Breakfast. I am down to one bag. I bought some Ceylon-Assam off-band tea today, its not too bad, actually.
I am actually quite pleased with the weather, its much colder at home than it is here. It was a balmy 21 degrees here today, with a light blanketing of snow.
I bought a plant Friday. Its some sort of relative of the Cape Primrose, the leaves are very similar but the flowers are different. Its not the prettiest plant on Earth, but it makes me happy to see some green.
The girls are going to Ikea at 4, but I'm not in the mood to go and I don't really need anything. I am going to go next time though. I want to see it.
