What I Did on My Summer Vacation

Another long respite. Oops. Let's just say I've been on vacation. Fully vacated. You've been patient, and for that you deserve pictures.

Abundant candy

The Finnish class I took in June was beneficial, and I met several new friends. 

I've gotten through an eye exam, a haircut (complete with chitchat) and several interesting discussions entirely in Finnish. I'm officially conversational. 

I'm learning more about myself than I care to know. Who knew that I'd experience a second adolescence at 28? 

In a little less than two weeks I'll be back in the US, a trip I planned this winter in a fit of homesickness. I should probably stick around, save money, practice my Finnish and hang out by the lake, but I'm elated.
