End of summer

Yesterday I made my way to my new university… and it hit me; just one week left before it’s time to get back to routine and days won’t be full of just reading, walking around the city, chilling on the balcony… and just basically doing whatever happens to rock my boat at the time.

It is a strange feeling, indeed.. going to university after three months, that is. I always felt very connected with my uni in Finland… and now, I’m feeling so disconnected. And despite that the thought of getting connected with my new university, meeting people and learning the ways is very exciting, it is also rather tiring. In fact, I don’t think I have ever been more exhausted than after my first day at university in Finland!

With five days left of my holiday, it has been time to start to make a war plan for the rest of the week – exactly how I did already in elementary school when it was the last week of summer holidays. I have come to the realization that those things never change, at least for me. That’s why I have a feeling this week will be full of eating delicious frozen yoghurt, barbecuing, going swimming, reading just one last novel and enjoying the leftovers of freedom – just like I did already fifteen years ago!

This time, too, I have a Finnish friend to share the last bits of summer with. A friend with whom time just literally flies… everyone needs people like that in their lives! To get the most out of the last days of summer (well, ok, summer is so not ending next week but in theory it is!) we already have a plan for tomorrow… and I’ll be back to share it with you tomorrow, too.

Have a lovely laskiaiastiistai and eat way too many buns with cream. You have absolutely no idea how much I wish I had one with almond paste right here right now… maybe it’s time to go shopping for almonds tomorrow, too!
