The first of May, or Vappu, is a Finnish tradition for celebrating work. And an excuse to get drunk. Vappu includes balloons, funny clothes and donuts. In Tampere, everyone goes to the center of the city, Koskenranta as it's called, to celebrate (drink) in the evening before the actual Vappu day which is a day off from school. I've been celebrating in Koskenranta for few years now, and this year was a little special since it was the last Vappu for me at least for a long time, because they don't celebrate Vappu in England.
It was a wonderful idea to party yesterday, since finals start tomorrow. I should be revising today, but I kind of have a headache...

We had a contest about taking
a selfie with the police. I won.
The photo sucks because I took
it with Snapchat. I have a photo
where you can see an actual
police officer, but it is
too horrible to publish. |

| My breakfast today was very healthy |
The Vappu party caused me to have an overwhelming storage of leftover chips, candy and cupcakes, and I don't know what to do with all of them.
