Helsinki, snow caos and busy days in Sthlm

Hej hej:)
Haven’t written for a long time again but I just don’t have time as usual.
So October-November, what had happened? At the end of October I was in Finland. Me, 2 other Russian au pairs and 1 poor Russian guy who accidentally got stuck with us (well, he didn’t complain though to be in one cabin with 3 girls;) went to “crazy boat” cruise to Helsinki.
Those of you who have never been on that boat: try! It’s kind of experience. Half of the boat: Russians, always complaining about everything, and carrying all those gigantic luggage with clothes they bought in Scandinavia. Other half – drunk Finns. It’s amazing how they manage to get drunk just in half an hour after the boat left the port… Ok, I can partly understand why do they buy huge beer packages, as it’s truly cheaper in tax-free onboard. But the bar prices are the same as in Sthlm or Helsinki but they get extremely drunk there, start to sing some stupid Finnish coutry-songs and seduce young girls. Hehe, not me, luckilyJ But Larisa (one of the girls9 had quite open dress, so they just ran after her open back:P (im za 60, a vse tuda zhe, na molodenkih tyanet;)
But it was cool anyway to be in a Russian company for a while. And I’ve met with my Finnish friend in Helsinki. Ah, the Russian guy we were with… he absolutely fell in love with Ulla (finnish girl) – men, they just see the blondie and they’re like slaves:P

But holidays cannot last forever (why, why, why???!!!). So when I came back there were school holidays and my little monsters spent almost 3 days at home. AAAAA! Thought I’ll become schizophrenic. On top of that we had first snow exactly during those days. So imagine 3 kids, running around you, throwing snow balls, starting to cry that they got snow on the face but don’t stop but start to get crazy even more!
And Swedish people don’t stop to surprise me. Remember how we always made joke that those crazy Europeans when they get just a bit of snow everything stops to work etc. So it happened here. In a NORDIC country (they call it like this themselves!). First day of snow – we got absolute “trafik kaos” in the evening. Buses didn’t work at all, Andreas (the father) spent 5 hours in traffic jams in the city to get home while usually this tri takes 30min. Even trains didn’t work properly (don’t ask me how snow can affect trains and metro – just Swedish people can knowJ).

And now I’m even more busy as I was before even though I don’t have any extra job anymore but I’m just overloaded with studies. I have 3 courses running at the same time at uni (usually it’s 2 but I was too greedy as usual and applied for free, so suffering now). At each of them assignments, seminar reports etc…. Also I’m passing TOEFL in 2 weeks (shit, haven’t even realized that it’s so close, and I haven’t even started to prepare..), have to pass another English test at my uni next week, have job interview in a week that I have to prepare for also (even though I’m 100% sure that I won’t get a job but I have to try at leastJ. AAAA, really don’t know when to do all those things!
Especially as next it’s a film festival here, and of course I’m going:D

Ok, have to pass prove Spanish test as I wanted to take some Spanish courses next semester at my uni…

Miss you all a lot!!!!
