Getting back into things

Classes are off to a great start this semester. Here's the schedule:

Reading race, class and ethnicity in detective fiction
Law and economics
Crime and criminal policy
Meeting finnishness
Finnish Elementary 3
Nordic Welfare Societies in Transition
Transnational journalism

Lots of reading and writing. But it should be interesting. Really hope I have enough free time to go to the gym, visit other cities in Finland, travel to several other countries, and just chill out with good friends :). Well, hoping for the best.

This night Shizuka and I made a vegetable soup with onions, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, celery, pepper, and pasta. It was so yummy, and exactly what I needed. I'm excited about our future culinary adventures!

Of great note:

Zhenia used some of my pictures taken over the semester to create a video, a touching series of highlights. View here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=325896757441768.
