So, birthday came and went. It was all good fun and we all had a jolly good laugh.
Apparently, 27 is a magical age (who knew, eh?). At least if by magical you mean lethal, since so many talented young musicians have died at the age of 27, such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. How this applies to me, of course, remains a mystery.
Regardless of my age, I've had an excellent summer. I've had loads of free time, it's been the hottest summer in Finland for 130 years (or so I was told today), my best friend is back in town, and I still have the best cat in the world. Also, excitement about the coming autumn has already started to mount. This eager expectation is mixed with sadness, though. If all goes as planned, this will be my last (ever?) summer as a student. I should graduate within the next year, and then, after 21 years, it will finally be time to say goodbye to formal education. I can barely remember a time when I didn't have educational responsibilities, so it will be a completely new experience.
Of course, this all means that I have a year to do all those crazy studenty things you are supposed to do before you graduate. I fear I have a lot of catching up to do. Where should I start?

No ihan ekaks tietty tuut tänne kylään (vaikka en kyllä osaa perustella miten se liittyy opiskelijaelämään)! Ja sitten kun mä tuun täältä niin pistetään opiskelijabileet pystyyn sen kunniaksi, että toivottavasti mäkin valmistun tulevana lukuvuotena:). Terkkuja kuumaan Suomeen!
I liked 27 so much I did it twice. I believe stealing shopping trolleys and traffic cones are traditional student things. Beware of the real world. It lacks structure.
Every students study room should have a street sign hung on one of the walls; not an easy thing to pry loose :)
