    Month in Review: December

    December! Oh boy! Last month of the year, my birthday month, Christmas, and not least my last days in Helsinki. On my last evening in Helsinki we decided to go and eat a final meal at Hesburgers. It was great. And it fitted my stay in Helsinki. And then the morning just before I left…

    Month in Review: November

    Because I have been visiting so many museums here in Helsinki recently most of my posts in November were about museums! A good blogger would have spaced those better but I am just writing about what I am doing! I still have some more museum posts left! I handed in a big part of my thesis…

  • Month in Review: October

    Month in Review: October

    October when by so quickly, it didn’t help that I spend several days in bed first being sick and then simply working on my thesis. This definitely did not help with my walking goal! What made October also go past so quickly was having my parents come and visit me and my boyfriend which was…

    Month in Review: September

    A month in review post in the middle of the month! My bad, things have been rather hectic here. I always find it so strange how quickly I get settled into new routines. The bus ride between my apartment and the University started quickly to feel like I had done it thousands of times before.…

    Month in Review: August

    And all of a sudden the summer is gone. August was such a busy month! Every weekend had plans. The first weekend we went to Snæfellsnes and spent the night there in a hotel. We were super lucky with weather and the entire trip was amazing. The second one we went to Akureyri and Laugafell.…

    Month in Review: July

    There is something about July that makes me start rethinking everything. I frequently get the feeling that the year is almost over and I haven’t accomplished much. Which is usually wrong. This year I didn’t really set myself any goals, so technically I am doing what I wanted to do. Also, I have done so…

    Month in Review: June

    Let’s talk about June! After how much it rained here in May I was sure we would get a dry and good June. Oh boy, I was wrong. June has been super rainy as well. The first weekend in June we went to a summer cottage and just enjoyed the first days of summer here…

  • Month in Review: May

    Month in Review: May

    May was something else! At the beginning of the month, I headed back to Iceland for the summer and started working. Which is great, what was not great where the final assignments I had to hand in. I just simply felt overwhelmed. The month was pretty great, and there are a lot of things that…

    Month in Review: April

    Spring has finally arrived in Helsinki! FINALLY! And it has been absolutely lovely. I could feel the last remnants of the winter just melt away as the ice on the ocean melted away. Spirits were lifted and then crushed by the sheer workload of finishing all the classes. There were couple of downsides to that.…
