Here comes a western/northern newsflash from Finland: I'm getting a feeling that next spring I'll be simply unable take this Abitur shit anymore. Last Wednesday I had the exam in maths, rather ok and ...locker in fact (I might actually get an E [don't know what the system that you know is like but in our rating E's the second best]), and next Monday I'll write English. I've been as tired as hell these past two months, it's actually been quite awfull. I've been neglecting almost everything and everybody around me and so on... but that's about that, it's already got better and the exams for this fall will be over next week. But for some more cheerful subjects: I went out with Helen last weekend and we discovered this great club thing where they played solely old soul music, it was sooo cool and relaxing, almost everybody on the dance floor were moving about in a reggaeish way and had a cigar in their mouth :) about that smoking by the way, since Midsummer there's been a law that forbids smoking in restaurants and bars (that one bar we ended up to had applied a postponement to ceacing the smoking in there) and I find it absolutely brilliant. And we've been thinking of attending another volontary camp next summer or so, though I'm not quite sure if we'll actually do it. The problem there is that one should start applying pretty soon and at the moment it's nearly impossible for us to say what our schedules and plans are going to look like in half a year. Blah blah blah. Haven't finished the letter to you yet, been too exhausted and all that. But I guess I'll manage it some day? Weeell, have the best time there, hugs!
