One more night

Sort of freaking out in a good way right now. I just want to fall asleep so I could wake up, get my stuff and get out. My new life and future career awaits!

Tomorrow's moving day!

Soon

Here I am, sitting in my apartment where there's a small clear space in the middle and everything else is packed up in boxes and bags. Somehow it still feels amazingly unreal that I really am leaving this part of my life behind and turning a page to a whole different era. The sky is flashing with lightnings and thunder, if I didn't knew it was a storm it'd be pretty close to the effect of the huge Olympic stadium concert of Finland's biggest rap artist the other night. I saw him, by the way, at the official afterparty in a nightclub where we actually shouldn't and couldn't have been but well, life happens.

I didn't think it would make me so happy to start packing but it did. Piece by piece, item by item I've got closer to closing the door behind me to an empty room and saying goodbye to Helsinki for now. Maybe even forever. Looking at the course descriptions and the pictures of my new apartment, I get more and more excited about starting the university.

Turning the page also means I have to start from the beginning once again, get to know new people, form bonds that again, hopefully last for a lifetime, create a life that I am happy with. So many possibilities that I can choose from, since this time I know it is my thing for real.

I went to my old school yesterday to get my friend, and the weirdest thing about it was to notice that even though I was gone, nothing had changed. I felt different about it, I was different since I was no longer a part of it and everything had just kept moving like nothing happened. I belong somewhere else now.

What's going on?

I've been having a summer break from writing as well, apparently. It's stupid 'cause I should be relaxing but somehow I've been really busy all the time. Funny, isn't it? When you have time to take it easy, you definitely will not have time to take it easy.

Well, since my last post I've managed to do quite a lot. I got an apartment from my new hometown and I am so excited about moving and the beginning of university. However, I've been making a list of things to do while I am still in the capital.  I've been to a summer theater, enjoyed family time with my whole family, done a little shopping, started running again and tried to get a tan. Just a few days ago we started to gather the berries, which takes forever... I've practised playing the piano since I will go and play at a wedding in October, which I am really excited about as well. I'll play all kinds of cool songs, including the themes of Game of thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean and Twilight. And the couple is practically family since the groom is my someday-to-be brother-in-law's brother, right? I just had to write that sentence, I just had to. On top of that I've dealt with all kinds of paperwork which is the most annoying thing ever. I don't like it, I have to admit. Could someone else just sort out all the applications and forms for me?

I thought I wouldn't go to school before September but well, it turns out that my time will come on Tuesday. Not as a student, though, but as a teacher. I got a job for next week to substitute the 5th grade teacher since he's on a paternity leave so the kids will have me instead. I take on the challenge with excitement and a little bit of fear.

Two weeks left here at home in the perfect summer paradise that I have loved since my childhood, then it's time to go and pack up my life and start it all over again.
