The Beginning of Yet Another Chapter.

How appropriate that this is my 95th post... since my German blog had 94 posts and my Finnish blog had 94 before this one, I have equated Mannheim with Tampere in the blogverse, only to start at 1 in Helsinki.

Today was my first day entering the Hanken building... as you can imagine (or read from my previous post), I've been super nervous, stressed and scared these past few days. I ended up not sleeping last night because of stress, excitement and wayyy too much reading of Stieg Larsson's The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

But the point is, and I knew that it would be, that there was no reason for all that anxiety. The people I've met so far are all in the same boat and all seem really friendly. Hanken has welcomed us with open arms and we discussed the program in a nice small meeting between 20 people. We were served champagne and finger-foods! The program director seems really great - not only is she amazingly nice but she's well organized and takes a personal interest in helping everyone out.

Tomorrow the official orientation starts at 9am! I'll have more to write after that ;)
