Today actually marks the first day of my summer holiday, and the end of my school year here. My exchange is almost done with – I have to hand in a paper next week, but that’s all. It feels surreal and weird. I have a lot to blog about regarding the spring semester, and I’m arranging festival photos to put up later. Right now, I’m just sort of confused over how fast a year passed by and how soon I have to start organising my stuff (and my brain) for returning to Finland.

Every day when I pass through campus, there’s people sitting on the grassy plot by the main gate eating or studying for their finals, or drinking and having a good time. (It is completely okay to be drinking soju at noon on campus.)
