Hello everybody!

With this semester coming to an end we have been very busy finishing all of our school work and working on Lapland Meeting Guide. Here's a few things that have been going on..


Last weekend was a busy one. On Friday we sent off a draft of our research report into hotels in Switzerland, Northern Italy, Austria, Germany and in Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Lapland. Over the weekend we were studying vigorously for a mathematics test we had on Monday, but at the same time we were perfecting our website and adding pictures to make it come alive. We still had some perfecting to do with our destination descriptions as well as practicing for our final presentation of Lapland Meeting Guide on Tuesday. 



 

Our final presentation couldn’t have gone better and the feedback we got was very positive and encouraging! It made us feel that all our hard work has been noticed. The end result is something to be proud of and we are all so pleased with the way it has turned out. Visually I believe our Guide with all its beautiful pictures really invites its readers to travel to Lapland and hold meetings in Lapland’s inspiring surroundings!



As many before me have said, this spring semester has gone by so fast, I can’t even believe it! We still have some fine tuning with our research report and some other school work to finish, but either than that school is almost over! I have enjoyed working with our group so much it’s kind of sad to realize I will not be seeing most of them for a long time..

Wishing everyone a lovely summer,

Sophie

Terve Hi Moro! Loppukiri käynnissä:)

No niin blogin pitkä hiljaiselo päättyköön, finally! Meidän ryhmä on ollut aina vaan kiireisempi kun tehtävien deadlinet ja kesä lähestyy. Niin sanotusti siis monta rautaa tulessa. Ollaan tässä pidetty tapaamista jos toistakin ahkeraan tahtiin ja väsäilty esityksiä, raporttia ja produktia ja mitä nyt milloinkin. Kohtahan kaikki onkin kasaamista vailla valmista:) Oikeestaan nyt on enää sellasta hienosäätöä oppaan sisällön ja  ulkoasun kanssa, joka on onneksi hauskaa ja tärkeetä hommaa, koska visuaalinen puoli puhuu kuitenkin aina puolestaan:) Sitten kun kaikki on valmista, ni voin kyllä sanoo että sitten se fiilis vasta hieno onkin! Täytyy kyllä tässä samassa nyt myös todeta, että tää kevät on mennyt toooooosi nopeesti! Muut onkin siitä jo täällä maininneet, mutta täytyy itekkin vielä liittyä kerhoon.

Ollaan jo niin pitkällä meidän opiskeluissa, että tän kevään jälkeen tuulet on ihan erilaiset itse kullekin, riippuen vähän siitä lähteekö vaihtoon, meneekö työharjotteluun vaiko jatkaako opiskeluita Suomen maaperällä, meidän Campuksella. Ollaan tänä keväänä kunnostauduttu monikielisen opiskelun parissa (tai oikeastaan koko opiskeluiden ajan), joten seuraavassa samoja ajatuksia in English:

Hello to all of our readers out there! It´s been quiet for a while, but in our defense we have been super busy!
It is almost summer already and that means we have all sorts of deadlines regarding our project work and all other assignment waiting behind the corner;) We have been getting together on a regular basis with our group and getting all of our material together. It is looking good and in a few days everything should be ready:) We still have to think about the visual side of things and that´s fun.

So then shortly about our next semesters..they are going to be a bit different for everyone because we are so far along with our studies, some of us are going to spend their fall as exchange students, some of us might do their work placement soon and a few are going to continue their studies at our Campus here in Finland.
But nevertheless stay tuned, we still have some thoughts we want to share with you! Oh and by the way about two weeks ago it was still snowing out here, but despite of that I have seen my first flowers already, quite nice right? And now it´s raining (water not snow), what´s happening out here??

Hoping for more sunny days,

Riikka

some thoughts by Emilia

Time goes fast and the project moves on! Tomorrow we have a meeting with our LMG group and we should have most of the material related to the Lapland meeting guide ready. Not all, but luckily we have still some time left before the final deadline! (Which happen to be within 20 days..!!!) It´s amazing to realize how fast the time has gone. Last January feels like yesterday and it´s April already. I´m not saying it´s a bad thing :D Maybe we have just done so much work at school that time just flies unremarked. But it feels so good that summer is finally coming..



 I can say that I´ve learned a lot about business travelling this spring semester. Anyone who needs a helping hand related to business travelling in Lapland, here I am! (and soon our guide.) I´m getting pretty exciting about our project in these last days, because I think the final refinement is the best part of the whole process. Finally we can start to think about those colors and pictures we´re going to use in our website! :)
 
Laters!
