Christmas always makes me happy! I hope you do well in your exams! We have a swedish exam tomorrow, and finnish on Wednesday. Heavy snow hasn't affected my school life, but maybe it does in the northern part of Finland? Our snow melted away already...

Yes, the Helsinki Horse Show is every year. I have been there three times now. It's always nice to be there and see the pro riders do their thing, you know? And the Ex president of Finland I saw was Tarja Halonen . I was a few meters away, we were just leaving and she was walking around and looking at some paintings. Someone from our company just whispered to my ear "It's Tarja Halonen, It's Tarja Halonen!". I'm impressed that you know Martti Ahtisaari, many foreigners don't know that much about Finland!
