Dear bloggers.

Where shall I begin this?

Squirrel eating barbecue left-overs  

Last week flew by so fast (again), and I have to admit, it's not easy to finish my blog on time every week. There are so many thing to do around here. Also going to the supermarket, preparing food and cleaning up take much more time then I would've imagined a month ago. But no worries, I'm not starving over here, and I do manage to keep my room clean, sort off...



Laundry day!
This week it was the first time that I did my own laundry. I was very nervous and couldn't get any sleep the day before. But it wasn't as hard as I imagined. Non of my clothes shrunk or changed colors. And of course I could not let this special occasion pass by unnoticed. So I had no other choice then organize a real "Laundry day after-party". A lot of people showed up, in clean clothes of course, and it was a great time to talk about my frightening experience with the washer and dryer that day.


Wednesday we had our first course of visual communication. Although I'm not very creative myself and I have no knowledge of any visual creating programs, the teacher was very convincing. I really want to learn more about this and maybe eventually see things in a different perspective, like I never saw them before.

Thursday I had my first course of "Español 3". It actually went very smooth and I was surprised that after 4 months of not speaking a single word in Spanish, the beautiful language is still somewhere present inside of my head. I also met a very nice Spanish girl called María, since her English is not that good (yet), and my Spanish can always use some support, we decided to come together on several occasions and help each other to improve our knowledge of both languages.
We normally only have 1h30 of 2h of each course every week, but the downside is that we always have to prepare something for the next. "Homework" they call it, sounds so 2000. But fine, it compensates with the nice and friendly teachers and the interesting lectures we get!

Drinking wine in class?

Thursday afternoon our "Basics of wine and other alcohol beverages"-course started. And yes, it was as fun as it sounds. We had to taste 40 wines over these 3 days. Because it was an intensive course, we also had to go on Saturday. Of course Friday evening is party-night, so we really needed to go out. Apparently the last bus back to our apartment is at 2h05 and NOT 2h15. I missed my last bus, so I had no other choice than going back to the party and not have fun at all... Thus, Saturday morning it was quite hard to get to school at 9, but the tasting of the sparkling wines certainly helped me to wake up!

Saturday evening we found the first dubstep/drum&bass party here in Jyväskylä, since our arrival a few weeks ago. It was really nice to finally here some not commercial dance or RnB music the Finnish people (and clubs) are so fond off. Still, the party ending before 3 o'clock and no after-party? Not getting used to that.

Maybe I do miss Belgium a little bit?
