1-2-3-4 GO!

So much happening and going to happen that I really haven´t much time to do postings.. 


- I lost my phone in the biggest night-club area of Europe - I have been searching that about a week and don´t think I will find it anymore.

-That happened while my friend was visiting for me for one weekend - we also visited Schloss Schleissheim at Saturday and Pinakothek der Moderne at Sunday

-Family left me. We had long conversations with the mom and I got my best reference ever. 6-year-old asked, if he could come to my birthdayparty to Finland, and gave me his favorite football-card "because you always had time to play with us and we could play football with you". Well I was being sensitive, too...

And I was being truely kindergartenteacher at some point. Months in Turkish, German, Finnish

-Tomorrow we are having a goodbyeparty. 6 of us are going back to the home country for studies. We are going first to Jäger´s and then some Australian place for Karaoke. I now it´s gonna be bad but I am pretty sure we are gonna sing Spice Girls - Goodbye my friends


-I am also buying my interrail ticket and starting my trip to home.

- I knew it all the time and I still don´t get it. I am BACKPACKING.

-to HOME!

Minne katosi päivät?

Only one week working anymore. Then family leaves to Turkey for their summerholidays, and I have only couple of days here left.


Where did this summer went? First I missed my home - mostly people, now I wouldn´t want to leave this place anymore. I mean, of course I want to see all the people in Finland I have missed talking and being with, I can´t say I don´t, but really - this summer has been crazy. Work - mostly babysitting - doesn´t feel like work. Family has been great. Children and the mother of the family had became very close to me. I have met great people all over the world and learned many things about them and from myself - even things from Finland and Finnish people.


Many Germans are fans of Finnish school system. Many Americans and even Europeans don´t know which country Finland is from the "Scandinavians". Many people keep wondering why we have to pay so high taxes and why prices are so high - but I keep wondering tuitions - my tuitions for whole year in Turku  University costs something around 100 euros and my friend who studies in Yale, States, pays 8000 US dollars (near 6200 euros)  for a year.


Of course I miss my friends. But going back to Finland means so many things: So, the higher prices of everything ( exept tuitions), no more doing weekend-trips all over Europe (well, if you see the map, Munich actually is the central point of Europe), no more evenings at Jaeger´s hostell meeting some random backpackers all over the world (last Friday boys from my upper secondary high school too!), no more making kids happy with playing football and drawing pink kittens.


Goin back means something like going back to the reality. I have to force myself study harder that first year in Uni - I have been working in insurance company, played in student theatre, lead some dance lessons and well - partying  having fun with my friends, so... I have made only seventy per sent of all I should have done in first year. So - I have promised myself that I will say "no" for any job exept that one week tutoring new students before I have made all the undone first year -stuff.


All this feels... contradictory. Good and bad. Leaving this place feels bad, but I know when I reach my home, it actually feels like home.
