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.

Let's see what life here brings with it, gonna be some messy exciting times ahead. And stressful as crazy! Looking forward to it, lol no never. Cya everyone! Have fun, be crazy and live. ;)

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.

Mayhem in my life

Heyy! Again it's been sooo long since I last wrote here! It has been quite a mayhem here lately so I haven't really had much spare time. :/ But to update my daily life, I have tried to get done all kinds of things in regards to moving to England. I feel like I've forgotten almost everything I should've done but hopefully I haven't! Last weekend I was 24/7 on my computer writing/creating an application for one job in England and I got invited to an interview!!! Omgosh! I'm sooo happy -(^.^)- I've also spent quite a lot of time with my friends which has been great. Got to spend the last moments in Finland with lovely people. I've also eaten a lot of chocolate lately... Oh noes... That has to stop, lol. And as every autumn bees go crazy so it has been almost a daily pleasure for us to have at least one bee coming into our apartment... I hate bees. But now I've gotten so used to it that I don't panic anymore when I see one buzzing around in here. But then one morning I found this about 2cm long centipede from my floor and it totally gave me a heart attack. Those are even more disgusting than spiders and ants... Gives me chills to remember it. I also saw a ghost dream last night... There were ancient Mexican looking faceless ghosts at this abandoned dump pit for cars and they attacked me. It was a bit creepy dream. (o.o) So here you have the latest events, maybe from last two weeks.

I'm still working at the same fashion store where I started last April so I have to wear something nice every day. Or almost every day... Sometimes I wear track pants and a long shirt just because I'm too tired in the morning, haha. But to the point, I thought I could put a small collage of some outfits I've had recently. My camera is just not so good and the lighting is also really bad in my room so the pics are not that great but no can do. -(ö.ö)- I also never have time to take pics before work so... Gotta do that afterwards when I'm already exhausted and messy, lol.

And now I will watch a few episodes of Criminal Minds!!! And then if I can still stay awake I'll check out the opening ceremony from Rio Olympics! -(ñ.ñ)/ I'll try my best to keep updating this a bit more often... ^^' haha. 

Oh the amount of mainstream music I've heard since April! There are some good songs too that I've heard, and learned because.... The same playlist every. single. day. Lmao. Enjoy!

Life changes

 

Now I think I can finally write this here, as confirmed information: England here I come! In about two months I'll be moving to England for about four years to study in university. This is all kinda new and overwhelming, and also exiting and scary. I'm going to a place where I don't know anyone (possibly), I'm gonna study after four years break and in a new language! Wow... It's still quite hard to believe it's actually gonna happen. But at the moment it's also really stressful, cause I need to do all kinds of applications for loans, accommodation etc. And I'm so not good at those, lol. But I hope I can get everything done in time. So, if you wanna meet me before I leave this country, you have about two months time to do that -(^.^)/.

 

I've been thinking about so many things lately that my mind is just overflowing right now. And being super tired (five hours of sleep every night except on weekends) is prob not helping it. I gotta do something about this. Like going to sleep earlier and not just eat and chat with ppl for so late at night... Lol. But it's already become a habit, and also one I like. I don't wanna change it and at the same time I so do. My days at work mostly go being in a daze and walking zombie-like. Once one customer asked me how to get to the main road right in front of the mall I work at and I was just looking at him like 'are you kidding me, how could I know'. Well, to defend myself I have veeeery bad sense of direction especially when indoors but still, I've been working there for three months now, I should know. But I'm so glad one of my co-workers was there and came to my help, I must have had this really desperate look on my face, lmao. And after work the best moment of the day comes: I might have time to take a nap. Even 15 minutes does miracles. I've become old... I can't stay up late without being exhausted the next few days and I need (and I like) to take naps. I must be too old already, lol. Oh, and let's not even start to talk about these black shadows under my eyes! I might not wanna look like a mix of a zombie and vampire when I go to England. Yeah... Prob not.

There are two songs that have officially become "my songs". Their lyrics are just so perfect. There could not be better songs to fit me. -(ë.-)/

Fashion spam

Hey! It's been about two weeks since I last wrote here.. I've been extremely tired (though it's all my own fault, lol) and also quite busy. I thought I could make a fashion post this time since I've been checking out and working with clothes for a while now. Fashion for my own taste, though. Not just any fashion. All these pics in this post are from Pinterest. It's gonna be a fashion pics' spam, lol.

I don't like to wear just one type of clothes, like classic or punk, but I would say my style combines a few different styles, grunge, classic, chic, bohemian and just casual. It's been nice to create my own look and not just buy all my clothes from the same shops everyone else uses too. Oh yes, I also make some of my clothes myself.

First some examples of more classier style

 

I love maxi-skirts and dresses, those just fit me so well and make me look even taller than I am. They're also perfect even for windier weather.

 

 

Yellow has been my all-time-favorite color. Though there are different shades to it and not all are great.

 

 

This is how I usually look like when I wear a skirt. Plus that green color is gorgeous.

 

 

A simple dress with a bit of edge to it is a must-have.

 

Then some that are more grunge or rock-ish styles

 

This is like an everyday-wear outfit.

 

 

I just want those clothes... They've melted my heart.

 

 

Two-piece outfits and hats I like a lot. Especially the combination of a fitted skirt and a loose shirt, doesn't fail.

 

These are more casual looks but still chic



 

I loooove pullovers, have to get one of those, they're so comfy.

 

 

Scarfs work for any outfit. And (almost) any weather.

 

That kind of jeans are on my must-have list too.

 

 

And then very simple casual dress with boots, looks cute.

This is a fight

 

Haha, I've been so unbelievably lazy for over a week now! First I was sick for five days, though. So then it was ok to do nothing. But now it's just continuing! Why it's so difficult to get up from bed and go out, for example jogging or even buy more food? I have to get a grip of myself again. This laziness has to end.

Yesterday I decided to clean our apartment and so I vacuumed the floor and was just about to wipe the tables when... There was a flapping noise. I had had music playing and the balcony door open and of course this little bird had flown into our apartment. It was just flying around our living room/kitchen area. After a while it started pooping all around and it left thousands of little feathers to the ceiling. So much for my cleaning. I tried to get it fly out again but it just didn't seem to understand that there was a door open. Finally after a long fight it landed on my badminton racket which I had raised up to touch the ceiling. Then I slooooowly moved it lower and walked to our balcony. There it was quietly sitting and staring at me. Such a nice birdie... Which made a horrible mess. I had to vacuum the floor again, clean ALL the surfaces, wipe the ceiling and check if there was poop on any fabrics (couch and carpets were in great danger but I was lucky this time). But the poor thing was so frightened, I saw its heart beat super fast. Well now it's somewhere out there again. Such a funny bird incident. Much better than any of my encounters with seagulls... Those are horrible! So scary and greedy.

 

 

I would really like to make a castle like this of gingerbread. Or even something like it.. Maybe a bit more simple. But I love the round shape and how the houses are built one over another. My friend sent me this pic probably a few years ago... Well maybe this year I make a gingerbread castle like this. We'll see. First I should know where in this world I'm gonna be then. I have absolutely no clue!! But it's very much possible I won't be in Finland.

Lights of June

Hey! It's the first of June already!! And it's Wednesday, I never know what to think of it. It's in the middle of the week so when it comes I can think 'yay it's almost weekend' but at the same time it's only been two days since last weekend. So I don't know do I like Wednesday or not... Can't really decide.

Something amazing happened at work yesterday AND today. I got a small praise of my work, twice! I can't believe it. I can't remember what I replied to it cause I was so stunned, maybe I didn't say anything, it's very much possible. But I was told I did good work!! Wow. I never thought hearing such a thing. First person to say it was my boss and then today also another of my coworkers who's usually very strict with everything said the same to me. I'm still in shock. So unbelievable. She was also very nice to me today... Did something happen?

A few days ago I used my time well doing a few funny quizzes, one was about how well I recognized some patterns from each others (or something like that), one was about how well I remembered things learned in primary school (it was a bit difficult cause there were things from American schools, like where J. F. Kennedy was killed.. How could I know that??) and then one was a quiz named 'why are you single?'. Well I'll show you my scores in the previous order, see and be amazed, lol:

 

Those must be right, I believe them with no doubt, haha. -(^.^)/

 

I started reading Toshokan Senshou (Library wars) again because I found the first five books from our local library! I had no idea they had those here, I've previously just read it from internet. But it's really great series. I laughed out loud again on our balcony which made my roommate laugh at me. That happens a lot... -(ö.ö)- Which brings to my mind, we got a new roommate today! Quite cool, she seems very nice. We'll see what summer brings with it. Hopefully something else too than just all this pollen which is making me so sick. Head hurts, eyes hurt, nose hurts, throat hurts... I'm so glad I finally bought some medicine today. O I wonder if I could go swimming this weekend! It would be awesome. Then I would probably be sick the next week though... We'll see, maybe I get crazy and go to our local tiny tiny beach "near" (13km away) my parents' home.
