Hi everybody!

I woud like to update you about my life in Pori on this moment. Last Friday we had a day-off, because of Vappu ofcourse! I really love Vappu, I went out and met a lot of Finnish people. They were so friendly, hospitable, open and fun to hang around with! I live in Etappi, that´s a student dormitory with only Exchange students from all over the world. That´s nice, of course, but I prefer meeting Finnish people because I´m in Finland!! I want to get to know the culture, the people and the best way is to integrate with Finnish people. So I met lots of nice people and they are going to take me to Helsinki next week! I´m very curious! They have been there before ofcourse, so they can show me the nicest places around there so I´m very lucky.

On monday I started with my internship again. Anna-Maria is my mentor during my internship and she is at the same office as I am, so does Paivie. But they both were out of town, they had this conference in the North of Finland and they would be back at thursday. So here I am, after one week of internship, all by myself at the International Office!!! I like it a lot! Lots of people are stepping by with questions or just a little chat and that´s nice.
I had the task to digitizing the Bilateral Agreements. That sounds more exciting than it was, because I had to scan all of them. I scanned 159 pages! So that wasn´t that exciting, it took me hours.
Fortunately, Tuesday was a better day. I interviewed a Finnish student and it was very nice, he was really kind and we had a very nice chat. After the interview I wrote an article about him and I´m waiting for the feedback from my mentor.

This weekend I will hang out with my Finnish friends again and I can´t wait!

This was about it for now.

Kind Regards,

Sanne
