Sophomore Journal 2E.2.1

GOOD.

Pentecost mass spent in St. Mary's church with a decidedly international parish. 3 priests are all of different races. The profile of the parish screamed "everyone but the Finns!", though I happen to know that the bishop here is a Finn. Also postcards here are the cheapest in town.

Bunkmates in Stadion connected last night; conversation started at how loudly the guy at bed 4 had snored two nights ago. The guy in bed 4 was not present. There was a Romanian guy looking for menial jobs in Helsinki and a scientist from CERN.

Korean tourist Se-Ung landed fresh from Saint Petersburg. We went out and took 4/5 varieties of public transport with the regional card, and found out all the malls were closed due to public holiday. When I headed back there was this Taiwanese lady I didn't ask the name to, who planned to swat mosquitoes in Rovaniemi or meet Santa Claus, whichever seems more probable.

Project is looking less intimidating each day. Coffee supply has been timely, with courtesy from Mikko.

NEUTRAL.

Värttinä has concert in Lappeenranta on 21 July. Item marked in itinerary.
Annbjørg Lien has concert in Ringbu, Norway on 23 June. Probably not in schedule due to friends visiting Helsinki at that time.
Some trip to the Baltic countries is probably in order.


BAD.

Exam results were horrible.

Gallen-Kallela Museum did not show most works by Gallen-Kallela
