All I tell you

Hey there! ^.^ I know... It's been (again) a long time since I wrote here but to be honest, I've been incredibly busy here in Bournemouth! At the moment I'm trying to balance my life between studying, working and the rest of the time I have left. Oh and lets not forget that I've been ill for the last 1,5 weeks... Not so nice. In a few days I've been here a month (!!!), how time flies. I don't feel like being here a month, maybe more like half a year. And at the same time I feel like I just came here a few days ago, kinda odd.

First two weeks I spent on a training session for my part time job as a Resident Assistant and how I feel about my work now, most of the time I'm just thinking 'what have I done', lol. I don't know the answers for half the questions people ask me, I'm still trying to find my own way on campus and I should be able to give directions to others, I should be able to help those who have problems with their accommodation or any other kind of problems they wanna tell us and people come to ring our door bell in the middle of a night to get ping pong pads!!! (we are going to put a note somewhere saying 'do NOT come to our door from 10pm to 9am' or something like that... 'unless it's an emergency and ping pong pads don't count as one'... that's how I would write it, haha). But yeah... I dunno how I'm gonna survive of this job gracefully for a year.

I went jogging to the beach a few times when I was still living in my previous accommodation. It was sooo fun! Would like to do it again ^.^ now I just live about 3km away from the beach... well, it ain't that far.

The view from the previous halls I lived in.

Then my school started, as did the fresher's weeks. And on the first Monday I got this fr*aking flu which doesn't wanna die away. But on that Monday I and my three friends went to a fresher's party called District and it was soooooo great! They played metal/rock/punk music and the club wasn't too full so we had room to dance. And well, the music was just the kind of music I really like -(^.^)/ Not that I wouldn't like the pop/techno whatever music they normally play on clubs, I do, but it was great to have some rock music as well. Then on Thursday my roommate's friend came here for the weekend and on Thursday evening we went to a club again because Hodor (!!!) was there as a DJ. This time the club was so full packed we hardly had space to move at all. It wasn't so nice but a great evening anyways. Then on Friday and Saturday we were just hanging out as a group, chilling out and attending the fresher's fare on Saturday (getting loads of free stuff, we got about 4-6 free Lidl bags each one of us to our flat and now we have an army of Digestive packs, noodles, dish-washing liquids and toothpaste xD). On Sunday I, my roommate and her friend went to the beach where we built a quirky looking sandcastle (lmao, it was fun) and my roommate's friend went swimming (crazy....). We couldn't cause both of us are still ill (-_-). And he didn't even get sick!!! How unfair is this world... Awell, now's a new week and I'm thinking of going to check out a Christian Union's meeting this evening. Can't let the flu stop me from going anymore, it's been going on for too long already. How annoying. I really want my voice back already... And I reeeeeeally want to be able to exercise again! Too long time since the last time.

From Westbourne where is so wonderful bookstore! Love it.

District timeeee, yaay! Before I cut my hair ;) It's quite short again

I started watching The Pacific again!! It's too great show. I'm on episode 6 now and I watch it whenever I have a free moment haha.

And yes, we have two horses like 200 meters away from my flat and our university. I have no idea what they are doing there, we don't even live on a countryside. This is a small city but... Still not countryside. But they're pretty.

Live the life - here I go

So much for writing here more often.. I had time for absolutely nothing ^^' Oh well... But! Now it has officially started, my journey to England and the next four years as a uni student!! o.o So scary! How can I survive!? I have huuuge doubts on myself atm.

 

Friday 2nd September (I wrote this in parts....)

Right now I'm sitting in an airplane on my way to Stockholm and from there to London. I'll spend a night in an airport hotel and then continue my trip to Bournemouth by bus. I'll also spend the next night in a hotel, just in Bournemouth, before I can go to my university where the training session for my part time job begins on Sunday 4th. Geez... That too! What have I done?! Was I being over confident in my skills when I decided to take that job? Just studying in a university (after four years of doing anything else than that) wasn't enough for my I guess. (-_-) I must have been out of my mind, lol. But I'm more than glad to know I have so lovely and amazing friends and family at home in Finland (and elsewhere) who I can meet quite easily and who I can (almost) always call if I need/want to. -(^.^)/ I was also happily surprised to receive a message from a friend I hadn't heard of for months! -(n.n)- And getting very encouraging words from friends, acquaintances and family has been great. It's also wonderful to hear how so many ppl think/trust that I can actually do this, even though I have doubts, haha. Maybe I shouldn't have. Well, it's too late to go back now! Now I'll just... survive. Adapt to this new life, try to make new friends and pass my exams. Everything in English... That will be interesting. I hope my English would improve soooo much. I make mistakes all the time and I have an accent! xD Nouh..

Updating from a plane to London! ;) A week ago my big sister got married (!!), she is now Mrs! :o Wow, pretty amazing. She was soo beautiful bride <3 She had a form fitting  slightly mermaid style lace dress with a bit of pearl/glitter decoration on the front and back. Oh, and a very low-cut open back! Preeetttyyyy. The wedding itself was a lot of fun and fit the wedding couple perfectly, at least IMO. And I got to be a bridesmaid (with my sis' friend, there were to of us). Which meant: work! :D But it was fun and I liked being a bridesmaid even though I was super busy with all the preparations for my uni life. But But But!! Let's not forget a very important event of that day! When the bride throws her bouquet. ;) (or in this case, when the unmarried women pull the ribbons to get the bouquet). I was in charge of explaining how that goes and ofc I took part in it too (single as I am, lol). You know the result already? ;) Indeed, I was the lucky one to get the flowers! So, my sis gave me three years time and then I'll get married. Must be destiny, right? ;D Oh well, we'll see what happens. If all goes as planned, I'll still be in uni starting my last year of the undergraduate program. But anything can happen, as we can see. I'm in England and the world is open full of opportunities.
