well it was supposed to be an 'international' school, teaching in english &c.
studies are coming along thanks; just took a course called Renaissance
Studies and another one called Literary Theories. in addition to which
I have 'Introduction to British & Irish Literature II' (Romantics -
Victorians - Moderns) which I'm very much looking forward to, as well
as a Literature Tutorial, which does all the things I've been doing
for years (analysis, interpretation, description). I have to go soon
to get to my Linguistics Tutorial actually.
AND
I'm moving to western Helsinki with my girlfriend on the first of feb. fab!
