Safe and Sound

So I suppose I should give an update for all those wondering if I ever made it from Frankfurt to Helsinki. Well, I am pleased to inform you that I indeed made it without so much as a scratch, aside from my extreme case of jet-lag.

I'm ridiculously tired and my biological clock is pretty confused (I woke up at 4:50 am, not even kidding) but I was still more than happy to get out and do some things on my first day here in Finland. We went to the infamous Stockmanns where we picked up some shampoo and conditioner, which came to an insane 16 euros (thank you Awital!), opened a Finnish bank account, and got groceries. Yes, all in one store. There's also a liquor store, hair salon, cafe, and clothing department/store in Stockmanns. I've decided it's my new favorite place.

Anyway, everything is pretty fantastic here. I love where I'm living, who I'm living with, and what I'll be doing for the next year. Oh, and the best news? My luggage made it safely!




Also, here is a picture of beautiful, green Finland as seen from my window.



And this is me enjoying beautiful, green Finland.




Well, that is all for the time being. My biological clock is telling me to go to sleep. Hyvää yötä!
