Should be doing his laundry (or perhaps learning to smile) instead of reading this blog. ;)

Actual Blog Subject(s): Yesterday; the last day of our language course, breath mints, and Harold.

Yesterday was the last day of our language course; thank you baby Jesus! I'd rather go to the dentist for three an a half hours every morning than go through that again. You may be in pain after you leave, but at least the dentist gives you a prize or a new toothbrush or something. I just spent the last four weeks of my life learning about breakfast in different countries. Ok, so I admit there was a little more to it than that but if you were to ask me to list the five most vivid things that I remember about the last four weeks of class it would be as follows:

#1 - Breakfast
#2 - Mrs. Robinson/Oedipus Complexes
#3 - Adjective Endings
#4 - A Complete Lack of Professionalism and
#5 - Package

Yesterday evening we all went to Limericks for a while and then to Hachenay (this is spelled wrong). The male Finn's (Vilppu and Jarkko) decided to introduce us to "Fisherman's Friend" which as far as I'm concerned is LETHAL. Basically you take a bottle of vodka and drop a package and a half of this "Fisherman's" breath mint into it. Then you let it sit and dissolve for about twenty-four hours. The result is a muddy coffee colored vodka that tastes like a Hall's cough drop. On the other hand, it doesn't burn or taste like hairspray. There, I think that's enough alcohol education for my friends and family.

Last, but certainly not least, Harold. Harold is a cactus. I bought him a few days ago. My room needed some additional life.
