It is still pretty cold in Finland, but the weather is getting better. It is getting closer to 0. Last weekend I finally did something that was weather related. We went ice skating! This was the first time in my life that I could go ice-skating outside on a not man-made ice skating range. It was a lot of fun! The Finnish students that came with us (by us I mean exchange students) were really good at it, and I found out that's because ice skating is compulsory in primary school! So they all know how to work the ice. I have to admit I was a little jealous. I want to be able to make a pirouette too! But I guess that would take a lot of training!
This week me and Anne, the other Dutch intern from SOTEPO (the social services and health care faculty of SAMK) set up a get together for the students in Rauma and in Pori. In the International Week 11-15 April we will be organizing the International Café, which is basically an event where the Finnish get a chance to talk to the International Students about their home country and home institution over a cup of coffee and a country-specific snack. The get together was really nice; I always enjoy spending time with the exchange students and getting to know them better!
Other than this it has been a quiet week again. I'm leaving for America tonight so I'll be gone for two weeks! I'll try to put in some new entries in my blog there, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time. Either way, talk to you soon Finland :)
