At the first class we were divided into new groups. New group = new people to work with. In fact, I already know everyone in my class, just haven't had a chance to work with each one of them. The task is to come up with destination for Study Trip and support it with arguments why it should be chosen for everyone. Impossible task, if you ask me.
Second class was about stereotypes. Damn, some of them are so hilarious. Finnish people prefer private space, but it doesn't apply in sauna. Sauna is sacred. That is just one of them.

We were introduced into 2 main works of the semester: Business plan and Study Trip. For the first one we have to write a real-like business plan for our business idea. Second task is to plan a trip somewhere for all of us. It's not a vacation. It includes some tasks to do in destination related to our course. I don't know I am going to do both of it, but sure that will figure something out. Gladly, we have some time and not alone in this journey. Feeling a bit scared, though.
We had our first Finnish class. To say that Finnish is a strange language is to say nothing. The pronunciation, difference between spoken and written Finish, the words itself are sooooo weird. Alphabet is another topic. I guess it will take of lot of time and effort to learn it. Not too hard to swear, though.
P.S. It's my shortest post, ha-ha. Were passing some psychological tests
1. Personality test This test shows what time of person you are: extrovert or introvert. As usual, I am an introvert, but I was surprised when I saw that around 2/3 of spring 2017 students are introverts as well. I thought most people are extrovert and it is me who isn't very outgoing. What a surprise. We have so much in common. The most funny thing is that some persons who got extrovert verdict as results doesn't behave like a typical extroverts, Ha. 2. Team role test That test shows what are your best sides and how you can contribute team the most. According to that test, I am an Expert (the one who has skill and focus to do specific task) , Team player (A person who keeps environmental and moral high and positive) and Analyst (Critic, Rationalist and a guys who like to be accurate). Wasn't surprised at all with the results as well as seeing small number of people being Expert and Analyst like me. 3. Team game. That was a nice activity. a team of 3 needs to make a equilateral triangle with the rope while having a bandage on their eyes. Me, Iain and Stephan agreed to participate. The rope was very long. We tried to calculate the length with our arms, but it didn't work and at the end we failed. Teacher said that we weren't told to use all the rope. Then my teammates felt dumb. I felt even more dumb because I had that idea, but thought that we are not allowed to do that as it would be too easy. Anyway, that was fun. Some pictures of us I think only the laziest person hasn't said anything about Trump yet. Yes, I am speaking about his Inauguration. There are many thing going on about that event. Haters keep posting picture of Obama's Inauguration with lots of people at the peak and comparing it with Trump's, where are not much spectators, as it was the very beginning. At first it was funny, but watching the same for many times and looking at people taking it seriously can make anyone quite annoyed. Haters gonna Hate, as they say.
