It is overcast and depressing outside today, I think most of the students are holed up in the building. There were lots of Finns running though. I have no idea how. I was too bust trying not to slip on the ice and fall on my ass, and they were running in tennis shoes.
I tried to go to the beach but couldn't find it, so I just walked along the shore on the brick path. It was nice, but very very windy. I almost got blown over a few times.
I want to explore the cemetery, but I want to go on a day that is not so cloudy and windy.
I walked about two miles I think. Walking here is easy, even when it is cold, because everything is nice and flat.
I went to Valontatalo (the grocery) and bought a frozen pizza and a coke. I haven't had any soda since I have been here, its weird. But the pizzas are fantastic. I haven't been cooking, at all. I eat bread with butter and tea, and most times someone else feeds me. Like last night, I didn't know if I was going to get dinner, and a Croatian girl came by where Meeli and I were hanging out and offered me pasta with shrimp and zucchini. It was quite good.
The party downstairs last night was meh. I talked most of the evening to a guy from Australia named Josh. He is big and scary and has long black hair and a goatee and a septum piercing, but is quite nice. We talked about how I think philosophy is rubbish, and then about body mods.
Rafal knows him because they are in the same department, so I talked to him some too. he was much more animated in conversation, which was nice. He is a real sweetheart I think.
My room is never quite warm enough when I am the only one in here. Time to turn on the oven I think. Coco told us this trick to turn the oven on and open it and it will warm the room up nicely. Just have to make surenot to catch anything on fire.
