01 September 2011

welcome back september.

september means autumn and university - today was the official opening day at Aalto campus in Otaniemi and when I woke up it was 13° degrees outside. my goal for the just started autumn semester is to take the most of it not to be unprepared when the first snow falls.
I salute september with a beautiful house sparrow's feather:
yesterday a little sparrow flew into my apartment's window: he managed to escape the cat and found his way back out - but he has left this tiny feather behind - which now goes into my feathers collection.
♡ today I have also sent a letter to Emi and I have got a lovely one from her. she has sent some pages out of a finnair magazine - my favourite is about the fishes of the Baltic Sea.
she has also sent one of the most adorable photographs of my dad as a child - it makes me smile when I see that my grandma used to dress him up in such a girlish way. I wonder when did his hair turned from blond to black? I can only tell it is him because of his name written in the back of the photograph.
one more thing: Jacopo has been spending a lot of time updating my website - I think you should take a look at it since he has done a wonderful job!
