Itäkeskus metro, 8:50
 
By the time the bus arrives at Itäkeskus, it only has two passengers: me at the front and an old lady right at the back. As I get off I look around and notice that the snow has completely disappeared from the pavement. (Or someone has removed it.)
Last week, when I passed through here, I slithered over ice hills. Now it looks like the long road to Spring has begun.
Today my penultimate course at Arcada begins. I start Structuring Information for the final time. I spend much of the morning going through the exercises and setting everything up. I do not feel any great enthusiasm, although that will no doubt come later.
