Summer is here! No, I don’t mean the weather, though weather is great. I don’t mean the date, though it’s almost June. And I don’t mean the atmosphere, though it’s good as well. What I really mean is that I have started my summer vacation TODAY! Today I also became a resident of Helsinki. Today I organized my move from Jyväskylä to Helsinki (=it meant carrying hundred and one boxes to the moving van [thank god I got some help from Tuomo, Linda and Hannu]), I helped my dad with their renovation at Mukkula (Lahti [by carrying hundred and one slabs to the sixth floor]) and then made a visit to the waste disposal site. It’s now 9:30 pm and we just arrived to OUR (this place is now officially my home as well) home to Helsinki. I’m feeling a bit washed out, but I’m truly so happy that it doesn’t matter.

Packing my stuff was a big job for me (just believe my word: I have SO much [too much] stuff), especially when I had to do all the last school work at the same time. Luckily I was able to do it all and after all trouble I feel really rewarded. And happy. And really happy… :D

My practical training isn’t going to start until next Friday, which means that I really have a week long vacation. I’m so excited about the job. Yesterday I got the first official work related e-mail and I instantly felt like a professional… :)

Now we are going to go out to the Helsinki night with Tuomo! And what is really nice, we are going to see lots of our friends there. Dear reader, have a great evening! We definitely are going to!
