school and work

So first, the good news.  I got my ticket back to the states.  I will be flying back on May 25th, and I can't wait! 

More good news, classes are almost finished.  I only have one class left, International Sales Negotiations, and I only have 3 class meetings, with a project due in a week, and then I'm done with classes.  Which means I'll be done with all my undergrad studies...man, time flies.

Now for the other news...

Yesterday I took my survival Finnish exam, and considering how little she actually taught us throughout the semester, everyone figured the exam would be pretty easy.  We were wrong.
I failed the exam.
Every single person in the class failed the exam.
The closest anyone got was the two Dutch girls, who each got around 45% of the questions right. 
After we finished the exam we went over it afterwards with the teacher, so we already know our grades, and she already knows that the exam was too hard and that everyone failed, so I figured she'd give us a curve or something.  She just told us the date of the make-up exam.

So in two weeks I guess we're gonna have to retake it.  Our only hope is that she either changes the exam to make it much easier, which I doubt she will do, or she keeps the test exactly the same, in which case we can just memorize the answers from the copy of the test that a few of us kept.

Anyways, enough of that.  I start working fulltime this week.  I still have sales negotiations on thursday and friday, and then next wednesday, but other than that, I will be working Monday-Saturday, 8-4.  As I'm sure you all know, I'm not a morning person, but I sort of have to work early now.  I was told before I came here that they would be getting me a laptop that I can do editing on, but it doesn't look like that's gonna be happening.  It's still possible that they'll get one sometime, but it's been pushed back so many times now for one reason or another, I just don't think it's gonna happen.  So in the meantime, I work on the computer here in the morning, and then Juha comes in to work in the afternoons, so I just work on translations and stuff on my own laptop then. 

No pictures to post, haven't really done much lately, mostly been working and resting, and that's gonna continue the next little while.  I am looking forward to the weekend of April 24th, as I will be going down to Turku to hang out with a couple friends.  Other than that though, it looks like I'll just be working until I head back to the states.

Again, if anyone has any questions, leave a comment, email, or post on facebook and I'll have something more interesting to write about.
