Finally. Finals are over. It’s a bit weird having to remind myself and everyone I meet of the exceptional fact that 1, I am a vocational student and 2, I am in second grade. Not that it changes anything, but the situation is a bit special anyway. The backstory for the confused ones. In Finland, […]
I’m home. I’m happy. It’s complicated, but it’ alright. This has been such and upsidedown week. In a way school’s just annoying, but then again there are so many amazing people there that makes it all worth it. And also I rarely attend classes for a full day haha. On Monday I went to school […]
Totally awesome and crazy day! Me and Matias from the Prakticums Student Council held a speech and the graduation in the Finlandia-hall this morning. The graduation was absolutely fabulous, and I’m so proud to say that I’m a student in that school. Amazing singers, speakers, teachers, principals and STUDENTS. Such a beautiful and happy event. […]
Now I feel like sharing how good I feel with you again. I met up with Elina and we had lunch, and then I had the first meeting with the Prakticum Student Council! Which was totally awesome and I really feel like we can do something here. But the reason I’m so happy is probably just […]
Yesterday was the first day of my internship at Hufvudstadsbladet, the biggest Finn-Swedish newspaper there is. I’m on the visual side, so basically doing layouts and info-graphics. FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS. We signed the contract yesterday and chose a project to do as a YRKESPROV. Today I’m up to some more layout and the rest […]
Some street photography shots from Sunday. We had a HECO-boardmeeting and then we walked back to the city center, where I jumped on a train and had dinner with Marie. Yesterday after school, I went to the exam of my Hygiene Passport, and after waiting with the other 20 people for 40 minutes, the teacher […]
And yes I do! I’m home when my famil y’s asleep, and I leave before they wake up. It’s been amazingly springy and sunny here the last few days and I’m just constantly in a good mood. Except for when my computer’s in school and at home have problems, I’ve got no patience at all haha. […]
This picture was taken yesterday around 10, when I got home to eat, do some homework and translate the meeting minutes from Finnish to Swedish. At school we worked on our online portfolios, and my made my website into a combined CV and portfolio that’s gonna be up and running in a week or so. […]
I didn’t take any pictures with my camera today (although you find some on my Instagram, @b1cc4) so this is the song I’m listening to while writing this. You know when you say you’re going to sleep early? And then you don’t? Haha, I’m always complaining about lack of sleep. But last night I got […]
Happy Hatday! I don’t have any good pictures from the hatday today but chech out the #hatt15 on Instagram! Me and Emil hatted around in Porvoo too early this morning and put hats on the statues downtown. Hatday is the day we celebrate school-student’s rights and this year FSS actually celebrated big with a themeweek. […]
