"summer holiday"

sun is shining practically everyday from a clear blue sky and even I am getting a bit tanned already ;)

Scool is over and the students of staps are on summer holiday until the second week of september. I'm not that excited of this as I still have to do several retake exams, especially from the first semester when my french wasn't at a good enough level yet. so now i have 4 weeks of sitting in the library ahead of me, oh well got to just work this through and then after junes exams i will pass my first year and be able to continue to the next year! :D

nothing much else going on, bisous AM

wifiiii connection!!!

I am so not a genious in using these smartphones :D who knew that i had a wifi/wlan connection in my nokia (i dont have my blackberry anymore it got stolen). Today we are in naples and it is ever so rainy, so we came for an afternoon glass of wine and i discovered that i have my wifi accessibility in my phone! Wipiii :) i could have had free internet access via mobile throughout our trip wether i had bothered to look a bit more, well as the saying goes better late tham never ;)

Especially when today is not a walking around day in town we are enjoying the lovely view of naples from inside of a seaside bar sipping white wine :D i have already odne facebook (ofcourse) and read the finnish news online :)

I must say that interrail is much more tough than i imagined, we can feel it in our backs and feet that we have seightseen already 7 cities, and t to go :)after this i will with pleasure sit on my ass in a library and study for a month, hahaha!

I have a feeling that i miss home, now that we have been on the road for a long time, but am not sure which home i miss..cause all i want is to get back to my comfortable little apartement in rouen, but on the other hand i do miss finland a lot too.

Now i'm going to continue socializing with the girls and stop blogging, love ya'll!

forgetting to blog

so this blogging doesn't come that naturally for me :P i am just so lazy and well kinda not that interested that i'd actively write here so sorry, here is now the update that certain people have been bugging me about ;) hehe

Life is fine. Nothing special, just the ordinary life going on in rouen. The fact that spring has arrived is a lovely thing, especially when reading peoples facebook statuses that its actually still snowing in Finland :D kinda happy i don't have to be there to see that, i'll just go back when the grass is green and the sun is shining!
We have these lovely pink flower trees (i guess they are some japanese influence thing), but i am totally in love with them, they are so beautiful, i should take a picture and put up to show it cause always when i see them around campus and town they bring a smile to my face.

Nataly's and mine interrail trip has been planned!! hotels have been booked, train schedules have been planned, and today we are going into to town to buy our interrail tickets and then we are set to go!! though before that we have to write a few (köhöm 9) exams but minor detail. I will try to blog from our trip (mostly so that my parents and family know i am still alive). We will start our trip with an overnight train to Geneve and then starts the touring with Munchen - Vienna - Budapest - Venice - Florence - Rome - Naples - Milan - and then back home to Rouen. It is going to be super great!

Well gotta go now! i'll try and blog this weekend again

French antibiotics..not so cool

Day 2 of my antibiotics and i basicly feel better but on the other hand totally shit. Obviously one of the side effects for me is an upset stomach and extreme fatigue..i seriously have the hardest time keeping my eyes open..and i should now be reading for exams. Crap crappity crappiness.. I will now make myself an etremely strong cup of coffee and hope that it would keep me awake for atleast 2 hrs still.

Though today morning was lovely, woke up to the sun shining in my room from a clear blue sky. A nice +11 degrees, a slight breeze and i was galloping away on our outside feel, there is nothing much else that would in the middle of a tough school week put such a big smile on my face!

Back to "myologie" the science of muscles....could literally not give a damn...just wanna get through this course.

je suis malade

Everyone all around me and in other countries seem to be sick, and now so am I. Wasn't able to dodge that bullet. Well no worries, nothing bad, now on a 10 day antibiotic and then all should be well, the doctor assured that I should feel much better in 3 days. The nucance of  side effect is that the medecines make me extremely tired. Not like I need anymore of that. So while I was getting my prescriptions from the pharmacy i decided to buy a vitamin-mineral mixture to boost my energy, its even called "Gerimax - fatigue physique intellectuelle", that should do it right? ;) I would have also wanted an extra of D-vitamin, but for some reason in France you have to have a prescription for that too!? where's the logic behind that, i tried to explain that in Finland it really isnt like that, but the pharmacist really didnt want to give me D-vitamins without a prescription. I told her it was silly, that i'll just have to then wait to go to Finland and buy then.... the French logic, or what it then is, haha.

Two weeks of school left, 5 exams and i'm off for a nice relaxing 2week holiday! So the next weeks and weekend are going to be filled with studying and studying and time spent at the library. At least the holidays will then feel well deserved!

I can't believe that soon half of the 2nd Semester is behind. Time just flies by, yet sometimes it feels like i've been in France forever..funny that way.

Met my friends who for my suprise informed that for the 2nd Semester at the law departement there is a Finnish student! wupii, i'm thus not the only crazy Finn who decided to come to Université de Rouen ^^
He asked if i'd be interested in meeting him..Ofcourse, i would just love to speak Finnish with someone here!! :D Could share our experiences of exploring Normandy as a Finn.

The weekend was calm, stayed home to study and tried to sleep away my flue (obviously didn't work). So thats still the same plan for next weekend.

Nothing else special happening here, just hanging in there! Miss all my loved ones, can't wait to see you all!

weekend

the second week of school behind and the first test behind, though it didn't really seem like a test :P it was more like pointing out the important information from a test, this was in the Science of education.

My muscles are hurting, i've been training a lot this week. Especially my arms are really acheing. Friday we had the first lesson of gymnastics and I was actually a bit afraid, but it isnt that bad, but it's still quite scary. I hope i'll get an okay grade, i just have to try to push my limits of fear of hurting myself ^^ haha. Today morning we had basketball, and i'm just not that good with coordinating a ball :P probably cause i've never played sports like football basketball tennis etc. Golf doesn't count :) At least i'm not the worst of the class but it still annoyes me. Well anyhow, because of these two sports i have a feeling tomorrow morning my arms are going to be screaming of hurt..hehe.

Next week is going to be calmer, that's nice. That means i have a lot of time to do sports, wipiii :D gotta fit in to my gammeldans dress in a month ;)

Huge problem..the people who kept the automatic washing machine place for clothes have retired :/ so i need to find a new place where i can wash my clothes.. hmh.

A nice weekend to everybody! i'm going to sleep soooo looong tomorrow morning ^^

gym forme

Last week we signed up with Julia to a class called "Gym forme", not knowing really what is was all about.. well, its kinda like a mixture of pilates and stretching and relaxation :D not exatly what we thought, but its fun, plus that its nice to have a class that is calm and not always a tough workout :)

Last weeks Soiree American Staps was great!! All of us friends had so much fun :) the weekend was thus a really calm one!

Lots of sports classes and literary classes too, meaning loads of work, but it doesn't seem tough it's fun...though we've only had two weeks of school after the christmas holiday ^^ haha..no probs, i'm sure i'm going to feel like this after two months too;)
Especially as we have a holiday in four weeks again!! wipiiiii :) i get to go back to Finland. I have so much planned already, though i have to do some studying and a project.

thats my update..i'm going to try and be more active
