I have failed countless times to update this blog, and I have a feeling no one really reads anymore. However, since this was where I started writing it always feels most comforting to return to write short bit about my life here
I was browsing today this article where a number of individuals had submitted pictures or scans of their teenage diaries. I have hardly graduated out of teenhood myself; once a very interesting character told me that you don't truly stop being a teen until you've passed 25 years of age. Sometimes not even then. Yet I can't help but look at (the now hidden) entries that used to chronicle my life in secondary school and then in junior college. I was a very different person then, and yet, not so.
As I write this now, I am waiting for myself to fall asleep, for the memories in my head to die down so I may just tumble into a nice dreamless sleep.
Yet sleep evades me, as it naturally does when you need to wake mere hours later for the most important task of school. It feels so new all over again, because people just come and go and come back again.
But enough of my rambling, I should really try to at least close my eyes and lay down, and hope that eventually sleep will take me.
To all those people who left my life, I miss you. You know who you are

college
well well. today i went out lots with säsä. acherlie, i ferz went out with isoäiti to walk. then we went round the city and we saw the schools. we saw säsä's first school and went there in search for some principal. so isoäiti stopped these guys outside the school and asked them. i really gotta avoid the guys here. they're scary. particularly this one at the supermarket that day. these ppl at the supermarket were dressed as superheroes and stuff, gave out free sweets and helium balloons. so well, it was me and isoäiti in there, just walking around, minding our own business and this guy who was giving out balloons came up to me and asked me. would you like a balloon? and gave this sickly sweet smile. i'm not saying he wasn't gd looking or anything. the thing is, why offer a balloon to a tall 16 yr old and an elderly lady? do we look like we are the kind who'd carry a helium balloon? or want one so badly since all the other kids have one. well, its either that, or he was trying to chat me up. gosh.
anyways, we went around. amazing, the number of schools we have in this neighbouhood alone. so we saw most of them. and we also saw this lady that knows isoäiti. and then we met säsä on the road. i followed him into the pizzeria where we were gonna get some veggie pizza. and then aft lunch i went for a walk with säsä again. we went to see the 'old' Lappeenranta. then the army place nearby and säsä's college. you know what. i'm going to college. yep. amazing innit? come for hols frm sch and end up back at sch. the course i'm gonna sit in for is this class for foreigners. everything is in eng. there are also these courses hald in eng, and half in finn. real nice. but well, have to see whatsup there. most of the ppl will be much older than me. but i suppose it'll be nice. going on wednesday.
i have my share of eng shows to watch here as well. very fun. some are cheesy, but well. i make do. also there's a lot of fresh air here. and fun ppl and things to do. though its generally quiet and peaceful. just nice for a holiday.
