Tänään oli ihana päivä!

(Today was a wonderful day!)

I woke up at - shocker - EIGHT AM. That's right, in the MORNING. I decided it was time to start my day much earlier than the aforementioned wake ups at 11am. The same wake ups which, my close friends know, are very uncharacteristic of me.

I studied GMAT for about an hour.

I then went to the uni gym to get picked up IN THE GASTROVAN then Juha and I headed to the THEATER to get some tickets for his mom and make a solid €1 profit! We then headed to a Thai&Laos place for their delicious lunch buffet. Their tomatoe soup was so spicy (tulinen aka fiery/spicy)... but overall, great restaurant! I was really excited because it was my first time eating out in TAMPERE (TamerFORS in Swedish) since the summer. While walking back to the van, we noticed a sign for a Finnish school and went in to ask. After a solid 10 minute conversation with the overwhelmed teacher there, Juha told me I can go tomorrow at 9am and see if there's room for me to register!
The teacher seemed really knowledgable and the course is from 9am-12pm, Monday to Friday for only €40/month! AWESOMENESSNESS! (I really, really hope I can get a spot.)
So after SKIPPING home (can you tell I'm still giddy?), and doing some daily shopping, of course!, I did a bit more GMAT studying.

Anyway, long story short, we watched "I love you, man" and I discovered the LONGEST word in the Finnish language (well not actually) EVER (lies):

"interior designer"

BRACE YOURSELF!

sisustussuunnittelija

...now try saying it out loud. And remember to emphasize the double letters. I said "sisustussynnyttelijä," which means interior birth giver. (Insert laugh here.)



And that's that. I'll let you know how language school goes!
