So February is drawing to a close and March is nearly here and with March, Spring Break is also right around the corner. Me and a couple of friends were at first planning to go to Mexico for the week but the prices hiked a bit too much over the past few weeks.. Change of plans, we’re going to Montreal, should be good fun and it will be interesting to see a piece of Canada during my stay here.
Some exams and project returns still remain for the next two weeks, but so far the classes have been relatively smooth sailing for me. The subjects are fascinating and I can’t really complain about anything!
My new dorm (Sherman Hall) is nice and it’s really a major step up from the previous one; Hulbert. Nice people here and the location couldn’t be better. The weather is unpredictable to say the least; some days are warm, sunny and nice while others are filled with snow storms and bone-chilling winds 
Well, it’s not called the city of the hills for nothing I quess..
Ayo!
Been a while since the last post but I’be been mad busy with all the school work and stuff. I moved to another dormitory; from Hulbert to Sherman Hall. This seems a lot nicer as it’s not nearly as crowded as the last one although it is about 200 dollars more expensive. And Hulbert Hall was designed by the same people who made the Alcatraz prison so that might be why it kinda seemed like a maze at times
It was Valentine’s Day yesterday and it’s really such a big deal here when compared to Finland. It was cute that the girls next door brought me chocolate and stuff. BTW. I have a new nickname, I’m Finn
The courses are heading towards Spring Break with just a few weeks to go. (Pheew, time truly flies!) Then we’ll get 10 days off and are free to do whatever. I really like my Music and The Marketplace and Record Labels in Popular Culture courses couldn’t have better specialization courses.
I also booked the flights back to Finland via London as they will inevitably get really expensive on a weekly basis from here on. And anyway at least I don’t need to stress about that anymore.
So all’s good in the hood. Looking forward to the Spring Break 
Heyhey!
The semester keeps on rollin’ and I have finally made my official/final/ultimate schedule and it’s not looking bad at all! Few courses that deal with the music industry and some marketing to go with that seems nice. The workload of the courses varies a lot and so does the prices of the books… The book for my marketing course is a whopping 150 dollars while the record labels in pop-culture book is only a meager 30 bucks, still they’re almost identical in size. Weird, but hey when in Rome and so forth.
I had to visit the dean of the business department the other day, quite intimidating as usually you only see the dean when you’re doing really badly with your studies or have screwed something up. Wasn’t too bad though, he turned out to be a cool guy and registering for a course a week late was no problem.
The lecturers here really got game, especially the former record label big-shot turned professor leading our music industry classes deserves applause. Each lecture just flies by with the guy. All in all the level of teaching is pretty high, no wonder considering that O-State is among the SUNY’s elite five.
