Finally!

Finally there's something GOOD happening to me!! For years and years it has seemed that I'm always the person to be the first one to be left out from schools, jobs... you name it. Well, not anymore.

I got that job in the largest media-office in Finland!!!

I'll be starting next tuesday (2.5.) - which is somewhat questionable, since it's preceded by a 4-day party-craziness... Ok, maybe I have to explain that a bit, eh?
The first of May is a labour day here in Finland. But instead of it being just a plain day off, it's a carneval. It's actually probably the official beginning of spring/summer. To top it all off- and to explain that long party - it's traditionally a great party especially for students. Thus, we'll be starting our MayDay celebrations TOMORROW. Phuuuuuuuuh. It's going to be very consuming, expensive - but guaranteed FUN!

Getting THE job isn't the only great thing that has been going on: I graduated from Mikkeli last friday: we drove up there, took part on the boring ceremonies - and partied the whole night long. Like in the good old days. Oh, it was so much fun!!!!!!

Oh, and from next tuesday on I'll be living in Helsinki - since my job will be locaded there. Duh. We were actually checking out this one flat there yesterday, with my mom, that is. And it was pretty awesome, right in downtown Helsinki. And we decided to take it!!! So, from mid-May on I'll also have my own, tiny, place in Helsinki. When were you coming over?? Anyone?

Summer has finally made it to Finland! Sun has been pampering us for past week, and actually I was just sitting on the balcony in shorts and a t-shirt! Summer is definitely coming! I LOVE it!!!

Too much, too little...

Umh, again a month has gone by and I've kept silent... sorryyyyyy! But now I'm back again. And... well, nothing much has actually happened either. So, to cut short story even shorter:
  • No job. Yet? I don't know... Today I was in these psychological tests for the media office-job; it was fourth and final stage of the application/interview/torture-process, and my pessimistic side is very certain that I won't be getting this job. I sooooooooo hope she's wrong. Just for this one single time. Bliiiiiiiiiizzzzzzz... :'(:'(
  • School's on. Or few separate courses are on - and I'm actually skipping those too... ;)
  • I'm graduating from Mikkeli in a week or so!! We're heading up there for our graduation madness on the 21st - and the plan is to party like in the old days!! :D :D
  • I won the photo contest!!! Or the campus series of it!!! :D :D For that I'll get a 170€ gift certificate to this photo/camera shop in Mikkeli! And here's the picture that gave me the victory:

So. Way to go me!!!!!!!!! :D :D

Weather up here in Funland has been something between crappy and shitty. It's gray, slushy, wet and miserable. Water just drips from the roofs, from trees and all the streets are flooding. To top this misery off, it's freaking cold! And that leads to the cruel fact, that when it rains, it's not water, but slush. And sun... whelll, that bugger has been hiding from us like 3 weeks now or smthg. So, no spring madness up here, just grey, miserable wetness and flooding streets, yards, parks and parking lots.

Ya, I'd love to travel to visit you guys; most of all Marta, who's in HOT Spain now. But... no money, no travel. So. I'm definitely stuck in here. And it SUCKS!
