Going to a coffee festival this weekend so I hope that it doesn’t keep me up all night or something! Also we’re going to see Guardians of the Galaxy and having a dinner party at a friends house on Sunday so it’s going to be a busy one. Next weekend I take my A2 Estonian exam (the official one) so it’s going to be a super fun weekend and a study hard week.

I didn’t realize that a holiday on Friday might mean stuff was closed all weekend so I’m really just hoping that’s not the case because we don’t really have enough food in the house to last the weekend but I’m sure there will be things open on Saturday and probably we won’t starve either way because I do have a lot of potatoes in the house!

It’s April Fools Day but instead of playing a trick on someone I’m mostly just going to take a walk, go food shopping, rest, and study my Estonian. I don’t even know if April Fools is a thing in Estonia so maybe it’s just not and I can live my life peacefully instead!
