First day at the University - chaos and irritation for two girls from the countryside of Switzerland! First of all Carmen and me had to organize and do all the administration stuff in one afternoon, because we arrived late - other students had one whole day for that! Somehow we managed it, thanks to our tutor! We got everything at the Welcome Fair, a place where you can get all the cards, internet account and some informations that we need for the studies.
On top of all that - finnish language! No idea, no clue, no possiblity to compare with another language that we know, not even raetho-romanic! First two words we learnt: moi moi (hello or bye) and kiitos (thank you).
The university is quite good. We were a little bit lost the first days, because there are more than just one building - Päärakennus, Fabianinkatu, Minerva, Alexandria, Siltavuorenpenger... - How can you keep these names?! After a while we realized that some of the names are just the addresses...
Than we had to decide which courses we take; kind of difficult and hard to choose, because we didn't really know what to choose and we had to look that the courses don't overlap!
We chose to attend a finnish course and spanish course - awesome! the teachers are great! Ah by the way the spanish course is actually a course for finnish students. The whole instruction is in spanish, but if the professor has to explain grammer it's in finnish and the book is finnish - spanish! So quite hard, but it's manageable and funny.
Beside that tomorrow we start the course - introduction to finnish education and later on some physical education, crafts and finnish school and subject education!
