I Have Arrived!

Hello!
Hiya! If you are here, you probably know exactly what is going on and what this is for, but here is a quick rundown anyway. In less than a week, I will be departing for Finland for a few months. I have finally started packing, which is fun, if stressful. I am going to Finland…
