Hello!
Even if I myself haven't been on a summer holiday this blog has :D Haha, well as the small children have went back to school I guess I have to get back in business as well (start updating this :D).
I started working right after my courses ended, which means in May (until the end of August). I have been lucky to have been able to take 3 to even 4 days off in a row every now and then (which by the way is unusual).
So, here's what I have been up to (other that working):
1. celebrating my 23rd bday as well as the midsummer (a celebration just like the new year's eve although there are two major differences: at new year we have fire works and hope it will snow whereas at midsummer we burn big bonfires and hope it's not snowing :D)
2. I went to Ruis Rock (=rye rock :DD) where eg. Ellie Goulding, Pharrel Williams and Ecosmith were playing!
3. I went to our summer cottage. Just me, mom and dad. So relaxing!
4. I made a trip to Stockholm - finally!
5. I made a road trip to the second oldest city of Finland, Porvoo (I won't even tell how "old" it is since Finland got inhabited like years and years after Central Europe which started developing as the whole Finland was still covered with ice and mammoths were wandering around :D)
6. Went to flow park, an outside climbing park where adults are allowed to be kids again :D
7. I was coaching at a training camp! Feels so good to notice I still fit into my kayak after spending 6 months in Germany.. :D
8. Went to Tallinn. It was a work trip actually ;)
9. Went to the housing fair! Funny how my international friends found it very odd but who wouldn't love walking around in brand new houses, getting inspired and watching beautiful decor? (well, I guess those who find the Scandinavian style very boring :D)
10. and last but not least I'll compete again! (If we actually get a team to the Finnish Champs in flatwater kayaking! Haha nope, none of our team has been training as much as we should have but for the old times' sake!)
The summer has passed super fast and I didn't really even argue with my parents (hallelujah!). Soon I'll move back to Turku where I will be a tutor for the exchange students, how exciting! :)
