Ah man, talk about mixed feelings!
So, the exchange has been confirmed by the school in Bratislava as well as my own school. So I’m definately going and I’ve been looking for flights now. No bookings as I want to see my options and a part of me always takes things with a certain caution and this case is no different. But the most likely flight I’m taking is on 1st of February. Here’s the schedule for it (all local times):
16:30 - 17:30 Oulu-Helsinki
18:55 - 20:30 Helsinki-München
21:05 - 22:10 München-Bratislava
Now as you can see it’s pretty tight even though there’s a 1,5 hour wait in Helsinki which I don’t mind really. Gives me time to grab some lunch before heading on and I won’t be able to get anything to eat before Bratislava, excluding the plane food.
I had a look at some flights with no return, but they were like 5 euros more expensive and the flight time in total was like 2 times more. Leaving at 7am and having a 8 hour hold in Helsinki, no thanks. So I think I’m going with this one… Though I have no idea what the people in Bratislava think. Do I have a tutor and will he/she be expecting me until how late. I mean it’s Friday night and all
Sure I might be able to get to my accommodation on my own, but you never know and I don’t know how long the reception is open (Hotel Druzba).
However, my plan now is to give my Rovaniemi appartment away. Not give away as in I’m leaving the place for good, but the foundation owning the building have this option for exchange students going abroad to leave the floating option. So basically I will be giving the appartment away, but I will still retain an option to get an appartment back once I return, not necessarily the same one, but according to the foundation: “at least the same quality, size and location” ![]()
I will also pick up my mail as I haven’t seen them in the past 2-3 weeks now… Which reminds me, I received the acceptance letter from Comenius University. Well that’s no news, but I had a look at it and they had made me one year younger. Aye, I’m born in 1982 baby! ![]()
It also had the semester defined. It’ll go on from February to June 30th. Which just confirmed my plans. I will try to get to Vienna during the Euro2008 campaign
But I think that’s all for now. It’s 6am here… I didn’t sleep at all the night before so I fell asleep around 10pm last night and just woke up. Might as well do some school work now… Nothing to do at this hour really. A couple of Sopranos episodes might be good.
Oh, and of course no one forgets the Liverpool - Scum United game today! I don’t know about ya, but I’ve been a bit shaky the past couple of days
And hey! Comments, c’mon! I’m getting paranoid with no posts from except me and yet I see the polls “going wild” ![]()
