There is something super important going on that I think you should know about. It has to do with one of my great passions in life that I discovered only a few years ago. It had it´s 25th birthday yesterday and I feel so far away from it.. But here it is:
I would like to introduce our student theater, Lapin ylioppilasteatteri or as we more commonly call it, Lyt.

It is a place where people go to feel at home, get away from real life, express themselves and drink coffee till they drop. Its a great spot for letting out all the aggressions that reality can sometimes cause. Or just for pouting somewhere in a corner and waiting for it to pass.

Now most people only see the crazy people on the stage as the backbone of theater (actors as wee call them in the biz..) but the truth is that the heart of the theater is hiding behind the spotlights, you can see it taking shape in stage props, lights, clothes, make-up. Its hiding in the office and sitting on the back row of every performance. Those wierdos on the stage do their part too of course.. Been there, done that.


But when all is said and done and all the fuss caused by the performances is over, you can always stretch out your legs on a couch and you know that there´s always gonna be someone next to you ready to listen or to talk. I´ve left a little piece of my heart into that place..
Happy birthday Lyt!
