Day Nr 10 and end of week Nr 2 of EILC

Yesterday on Friday we did some exercises related to the grammar stuff we did earlier this week. Of course we have learned some new stuff, past tense in Finnish. But this will not be part of the exam, which is already in 4 (!) days.

That's one reason why i skipped the sauna evening (organized from the EILC Team) yesterday, to do some vocabulary. I'm not sure yet, if it was really useful *g*. Whatever, another reason was also my server problem at home. I spent three hours of supporting my friend at home to repair my server. It got broken two days after i have left Austria. So three hours later we found the real problem and hopefully Werner can repair it today, so that the server will go online on the evening. Thanks again to Werner for taking care of my server problems.

Oh, i forgot to mention the presentation we had after lunch. It was about the Kalevala Epic story (german version) (english version)
which is a important part of the Finnish history and culture. I didn't know what it was before this presentation, but i like it, because i like those mythic, magic thingi anyway :)
The influence of the Kalevala is also very present nowadays, you can see and hear it in a lot of different forms. One form is some Finnish music, that for Keisa showed us a video, and i will show you this video too:
