Raincheck
Hey guys, I realise that in my last blog post, I said that I would have written a first draft of my dissertation by today. Though after a lengthy week, stuck in the David Wilson Library, I do need to give myself extra time to write it. So, changing my schedule slightly, I will have […]
Kicking the Icy Bucket
I didn’t mean for the title of this blog post to sound too macabre, but unfortunately I have reached an end of an era. I have just finished writing goodbye notes to my friends I have made here in Finland, and this makes the end even more emotional… and final. I have had a wonderful […]
The End is Nigh..
As my year abroad in Finland comes to a close, I like to look back on some of the best moments I have had here. In a few days, I will write my last post from Finland, but today I will provide a sneak preview of it via pictures. Hope you all enjoy, and I […]
Finland has Pride!!
You may all know from my older posts that during my second year of studying at the University of Leicester, I was highly involved in its LGBQA Association as an Equality Officer, and then as Welfare Officer. Throughout that year, you blog scanners would tire away, no doubt, looking through my LGBTQA antics (precious posts […]
Clowning Around
So, since my return from Stockholm, I knuckled down to do a few exams (which I hadn’t had time to study for on my holiday – slight poor planning on my part). Anyway, I came across one of the weirdest forms of assessment ever, the other day. The equivalent we would call it in England […]
Returning from Stockholm
I realise that this blog (along with the last one) both involve me returning to Joensuu from travelling. You must all be really annoyed with my globetrotting antics.. However, if you’re too jealous, simply read something else rather than my fabulous drivel. I had a really wonderful time in Stockholm. Luck was on my side […]
Back from the Baltic
Hello blogging fanatics! Well, I have safely arrived back in Joensuu, Finland, after my tour of the 3 Baltic States. I had a wonderful time, and was sad to be heading back (considering the tumultuous amount of imminent deadlines). All 3 cities (Tallinn, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; and Vilnius, Lithuania) had beautiful old towns which were […]
Going Global!
Hey guys, sorry this is a quick post, but I am going away until next Wednesday (leaving in just a couple of hours). I am going on a Baltic Trip with a few friends. It’s run by the Erasmus Student Network in Finland and includes travel to and lodging in Tallinn, Estonia, Riga, Latvia and […]
Activities are not FINNISHed
Sorry for the deplorable pun, but I had to make this humorous word arrangement sometime during my year!! I have been keeping busy with studying during my time in Finland, but still making plenty of time to absorb Finnish culture by participating in their organised events. The other day, there was another sitsit party organised […]
