With Jyväskylä. And I'm guessing this is that 'you just know' feeling you'd get if you'd fallen for a person. Like, ever since I first came to Jyväskylä, many many years ago, I've loved it. But last night I fell IN love with it. You know?
Yesterday was a good day in general.
I skipped school to go to a Floorball (Sähly) tournament that the sports major exchange students had put together as a final project. My team was very last minute and thrown together: it was Me, Erin (from Canada), and Charlotte (from Belgium) as the base, then Charlotte asked a guy from school to join our team when she saw he was sporting Exel Floorball shorts in gym class. I'm pretty sure his name was Marcus. Or probably Markus. But thank goodness he joined our team, team IDK. With his help we tied, won, then lost, then won again and made it to the finals! Surprise!
While waiting around for the final game we just sat around and people watched and mingled and judged. There were a few other constests between games, like fastest shot and get it past the legit goalie. One of Marcus' friends performed incredible stick skills for a bit. It was craziness. Cool craziness.
I liked one team's T-Shirts that said 'Show me your belly button' on the front, then 'and I'll show you around Jyväskylä, the belly button of Finland' with a picture of Finland. I asked Steve if I could get one anywhere and he said he the winners will get some for free. So, woohoo, now we had to win against the Dream Team (a team of actual Finnish floorball players; the only team we lost against...).
Finally the final game rolled around and all the other exchange students were chanting 'Let's go, I don't know!' and doing the wave and it was all very exciting and fun, even if we basically had no chance of winning. The game started with a very quick goal from the other team, and then one from our own, by Marcus. We stayed with the other team for one or two goals until they pulled away. I think the final score was some 7-4 or something. We did lose. No charming victory story here. Bummer.
But even though we lost, second place was not so shabby.
After the tournament ended, Erin, Charlotte and I walked to the center and lazed in Coffee House for a while. Chiara (from Italy) was there and sat with us.
I like Coffee House. It's noThree Goats, but it's cozy and warm and they have delicious croissants.
It was 4:50 ish when we peaced out and headed for our busses. It was dark too. (The whole really early sunset really throws me off. I never have any clue what time of day it is. It's uncomfortable sometimes.)
Back at the apartment I just sat around, per usual, and ate/facebooked. I watched the latest Glee episode (it was ok. Not the best. But Glee's 'not the best' is still highly enjoyable.) and Friends. Showered, Ate, Facebooked, ate all my StudiaMessu candy, et cetera until 10 ish. That was when I headed out to Rentukka (the same place mom said she went to when she was at JYU?) for the Stammtisch/Awards ceremony.
--ok, I'll add the rest of the night later. Imma go eat the AWESOME free school lunch now. K cool.--
oh, and it's snowing. woo.
