The beginning of the end

Last few weeks. I have not been updating, because everything has been pretty busy, and I have not felt like myself for some time. This internship has taken a toll on me, and now that I have finally all school tasks sorted out, I can think and breathe clear again.

Going back to beginning of last month. I had to find another place to live, since the house sitting me and my friend had been doing couldn't go on. Sadly for us, the owners came back and we had to move. I was able to find a room rent through a Finnish contact here in London, and the move went quite swiftly! (thank you Pia!!)

New flatmates and glorious food. It was good and we had fun!

Just before I moved though, I took a weekend visit back to Finland. My family was extremely happy to see me again after a few months, and I was really enjoying my free time back home. It was quite snowy and completely different from the already warm-ish... weather in London. A nice change though.

Finland Finland woop it's time to go back to London now though.

Me and a nice coworker of mine got this brilliant idea, that we could do a two week workout camp after work. Well, a great idea turned into a not so great idea, when we couldn't even walk properly the next day. But to me, it was really fun!

Waiting in Camden for the workout to start. The picture turned quite artistic.

I also was lucky enough to grab tickets to musicals (for free from my workplace, some benefits from the job~) a few times. London is so known for it's musicals, I'm really living for the arts!


This was such a brilliant musical, so if you have a chance to go and see it, PLEASE SEE IT! A round of applause, this was amazing.

I got to see this with a brilliant coworker of mine, who I have become such good friends with. It was great, but some opinions were brought up in both of us.

My work experience at this company as an intern has been really interesting. I appreciate the opportunity, skills and experience I have gotten, and am sure to need them in the future. But some things have been questionable, so kids, be sure to write down all the details in your agreement papers, so the workplace can not try to run over you! Stand your ground! Stay strong, you can do anything.

Mostly halfway there once again!

Once again the time has flown, and the   midway post point is more or less here! London is always so good to me, and keeps surprising me. Even though I have been feeling more down lately, I am still where I want to be! Also I have my tv-series with me, and supportive people to keep me going! All those creative people in one place! I went to visit the Royal Albert Hall during the BAFTAs. It was a cool experience, all the famous people I see in the movies walking down the red carpet. I have so much respect to these artists, and what the movies tell me. Even though there was a barrier between me and the carpet, it was an experience I wouldn't trade away. The memory will give me power in the future to reach out for what I want! This musical was so good!!! My workplace had some free tickets for a musical, I was lucky enough to get one from an amazing co-worker! Even if I know now that this work will not be something I want to pursue later on, it has given me a lot of thoughts

A couple more days to go

So it's finally time for the first post! Handling a blog is a first for me and we shall see how well it actually goes. The flights to London will be in two days and I am more than happy that one of my dearest friends will be joining me for the first few days. I have been so busy trying to get everything necessary done before the due day, and arranging meet ups with friends since I won't be seeing them for such a long time. Moving to London has always been a dream of mine, and now that it is actually happening, even for a few months, is just amazing! I will be working as an intern at ASA Tours, and I can already tell that the workplace will be such a positive experience. Now I will return to apartment hunting and packing, time flies so quickly when you are in a hurry, not that I am complaining the least. Next time the update will be from London, can't wait to see how the first weeks will be like!

There is no place like London~

Time for an update! It has been a really busy few weeks, starting my internship has gone well and being in London has been pretty amazing all in all. Looking for a place to stay has not been easy, and that is something I actually mentally prepared for. When I first got to London, I had one dear friend with me for first couple of days. It was like a mini-vacation before the internship actually started and my friend also came to some apartment viewings with me. She really helped with taking the edge off of actually moving to London for couple of months, and we did some sightseeing as a tourist should~ Standing in the park in front of Big Ben and the House of Parliament, there were many flowers/cards/other memorial objects placed to the front part of the park to honor the victims of the previous weeks attack. There it is~ So the internship started a few weeks ago. It was a big change to suddenly start talking in english in a professional environment, But getting more flue
