Today was quite a nice day for a change :) Only one complaining customer so my day didn't get ruined. It was also slow and quiet again so I was able to spent some time playing the snake game on my mobile and sending text messages, hehe <:)
Now I'm getting ready to watch the Finland- Sweden hockey game. It'll be a nerve-racking game cos it's the quarterfinals now so only the one who wins will get to play in the semifinals. Fingers crossed that Finland will win... :) But I have a bad feeling about it... The Swedes are too good... Well, we'll see...
Yesterday I got a letter from Allianssi about the volunteer project I'm gonna do before the one in the Peak Park. I didn't get my first choise (which was a camp in South Wales) so I'm guessing the project was already full or there already was another Finn signed up for it. Well, I really don't mind :) So instead, I'm going to a camp in South England. So these are the projects I'm going on:
