Näkkileipä has landed to Dublin
... when there was a show called Finlandos going on, a group of elderly Finnish choir men on a tour!
So, being this sick it's been a nightmare to attend the classes, especially Wednesday's media law & ethics. At the beginning of the class the lecturer handed us "some notes", 104 pages (both sides) full of law text. There was just nothing else than Oh Snores in my head from 6 to 9:30 pm.
