Happy New Year!

I think it's time to write a new post finally about my NY celebrations :) And also - Happy New Year everyone, I think it's never too late to wish it ^^

So, as I think all of you know, I finally spent new year night outside Latvia, which, I hope, means, that I'll travel a lot this year ^^ I was at Tallinn for two days, and they were nice. Of course, if I knew that fireworks at Helsinki will be together with Nightwish music, I would go there, as it's not too far, but ok, what's done is done :D

So, photos from Tallinn:

Near the ferry terminal

Excursions aroun Tallinn

Our hotel was near the main train station, so view was wonderful outside the window ^^

Also this old train was standing near our hotel. And we had a wonderful snow that day ^^ In Latvia there wasn't snow at all, so this one was like a fairytale ^^

Christmas tree (the one which fell several times this winter) and a Christmas market at a town hall square.

And also two cute deers were there, poor animals were so scared during fireworks :/

Fireworks at 12 a.m.

And on the next day we went to Rakvere to see its castle.

Me & my dad (it was possible to wear funny clothes like these :D )

Horses ^^

In this castle, to show things that happened at medieval times, was also a torture chamber - different devices used to hurt people, a skeleton in a coffin and also these `dead people`

And later we went to hell - underground tunnels with different scary things around - skeletons appearing in a mirror, dolls with scary faces and so on. For me it was just fun, also when our guide hid behind a wall and touched everyone coming close to scare them, but not for some other people - never heard so much crazy yelling! :D

Me near a cannon.

Rakvere's symbol - a giant bull near the castle :)

And today I had an exam at Latvian typology of soil and vegetation. I thought it'd be the easiest one, and so were questions about soil (and also I often chat with this teacher, so have a motivation to learn everything :D ), but questions about vegetation was simply horrible. Everyone handed in almost empty papers, because in some tasks we had no idea what to do at all, not talking about our unability to learn 277 Latin plant names and where each of them grows. And next exam is biochemistry. I didn't want that day to come since 4th of September, when I had my first biochemistry lecture.

This one is my favourite slide from presentations. And underlined sentence (after finishing the biochemistry course all of these reactions should be known) simply kills me :D

Have fun and take care! :))
