Finland this week

Finished up a presentation, a paper and an exam this week, so yesterday I was able to sleep from 7am until 8pm to catch up on all that I'd been missing. The upcoming week looks refreshingly lighter in some areas, so let's hope I'm not as frantic and I get to sleep. In the meantime, here's some of what's been going on up north.

• New Swedish foreign minister Bildt pushing for better EU-US ties in answering the challenge of globalization. Didn't take him long to start making demands, seeing as how he's barely been in office a month.
• Children's book to publish 6000+ kids' letters received by Halonen over the course of her presidency.
• Finnish presidency projects EU solidarity in saying that Sadam should not hang.
