So today, after school, me and Kiwi decided to attempt the bike ride from school to Turku, just to see if it was possible.
It was possible.
It took less than 35 minutes, and was actually a really nice track to ride on. And now, now I feel silly to have wasted money on the bus! It's just under 7 euros to go there and back ($9.50AU), and we have to go into Turku for class at least once a week, but now we've got the freedom to just go there as much as we like! This was like opening a door in my mind! It was exhilarating and surreal, and put me in a majorly good mood. A good holiday mood.
Me and Kiwi locked our bikes in the centre then bought a 37cent 'Mars-Bar Easter Egg' each and sat by the river, in the sun eating the bananas we took from the cafeteria.
Pure, cheap, bliss.
Well, it was fairly pure, despite the random drunk dude that walked over to us and started gesturing and yelling back to his friends, and the other random potentially drunk guy that walked over to us and just stopped and stared blankly at us for at least 10 full seconds. That was so odd.
But the joyfulness continued after those short interludes, and we rode back to school contemplating visiting IKEA for their 50cent ice creams, but we saved that journey for another time~~
I picked up my prize from the library! Ahahaha. It was a shirt and a 4gig usb. Hey! A free 4gig usb? Yes please! The shirt apparently says 'not for overnight borrowing' in Finnish, but I'm going to double check that with someone other than my host father just in case... and no, Google doesn't manage to translate it.
All in all a fairly good day!
It's my host brother's 8th birthday tomorrow, so I gotta make a super awesome card for him. Because I'm super awesome.
That, is all.
