First weekend.

Moikka!

Days goes by and it is already Monday evening!
During the first weekend on campus I met a fellow Fin! I was thrilled to speak Finnish again. We are Finns, so we are polite and we speak Finnish only when there is nobody else around. Antti comes from University of Helsinki and is here also for the semester.

We got familiar with the most amazing thing on campus this far, Colvin recreational center. Basically, it is a sport center. Just with two floor gym, 12 basketball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, climbing wall, golf simulators, indoor football field and dance rooms. This is one the Americas largest recreation center and it is here in OSU!
We were hanging at the outside pool playing volleyball, getting tanned and talking with friends.
It is still quite hot in here, sometimes over 100 Fahrenheits (app. 40 celcius).

This week we start our international student orientations. Mostly they are about practical matters here in OSU. We also get to meet all the other exchange students. In total there is 51 exchange students and 2000 international students.

Today we got our season tickets for football! Football here is crazy. In Boone Pickens stadium can fit 61,000 people! Game days are like carnivals here. Everybody are there wearing orange, eventhough they dont have tickets. And we gonna be there, where the action is, GO POKES!

Picture updates is coming to Facebook every now and then. Check it out!
