100th post!

This is my 100th post and though I started this blog a few days before moving to Finland, I consider it a milestone to mark my time here. Also, I'm not really sure how I managed to keep on babbling for 8 months about my time here but somehow I always had something to say, even if there were not dry spells.

I decided to blog today because I feel like I've been sitting around and waiting for almost an entire day now. We're doing a group project for one of my courses and my friend and I have paired up with two first year girls. The girls were supposed to do questions a) and c) of the assignment and we were supposed to take care of b). But we need part a) to start b) and we're still waiting for it (the deadline is tomorrow at 10am.) Well if it's any proof of how I'm trying to relax about life and school, this has to be a step in the right direction. Because no matter what, I'm pretty sure we're not gonna fail... so there's no real reason to panic. I sort of did the same thing with an assignment which was due on Tuesday... I don't think I did a great job, but I finished it on time and handed it in. I really have to fight against my instinct to do everything 100%. When it really matters, that's where all my effort will be... and this way, I don't spread myself thin... but I do have to spread myself over something! So I'm thinking of writing, photographing or doing layouts for the school paper. I just haven't decided yet. I also need a sport to stay active... I'm just not sure where gymnasts get their fix in Helsinki... I'm gonna look into that right now.
