Back to the civilization

One more hour and my almost-five-hour journey back to Helsinki will be over. After a week of the peace of the countryside I actually am quite happy to go back, I feel refreshed and a little more relaxed than what I was a week ago. Sadly, I only managed to get two nights of sleeping in a coma-like state in complete silence, too bad. That was what I was expecting maybe the most. And seeing my family, yeah, of course.

The past week has been full of memorable moments. I started my vacation wondering where time went, since I was watching my sister's high school dance. When did she get that old, too? I got to meet my old friends and had such a good time with them, though I have to admit the clubs in Kuopio don't quite reach to the level of the ones in the capital... But, what makes a perfect night is the company and we had a blast! The night did end in an emergency call but it had nothing to do with us. Luckily.

The rest of the week was purely two things: being sick and an overdose of the Olympics. I am not even that huge a fan of ice hockey (I fell asleep during one match, oops...) but one day I watched almost two and a half games. In addition I witnessed one of the best Finnish sports moments in the forms of silver and gold. And we beat Russia, hopefully Sweden tomorrow too...! However, what made those days memorable was just hanging out with my family. Now that I don't live at home anymore, I have learned to appreciate those moments in a totally new way than before.

Can't believe I am listening to Backstreet Boys...
