Belgium..

Only about six weeks and I´ll be in Belgium :) I can´t believe it! I´ve done most of the preparations, tomorrow I should buy the flight ticket and pay the deposit for my flat (it´s a studio quite close to the centrum, jeeeei!!). I have already applied the student grant (opintoraha) from Kela for the studies abroad, I received the documents from LUT and HUB for acceptance & Erasmus money things.. Earlier this spring I selected the courses I´d have this autumn and did all those preparations...

I´m really proud of me this summer, I´ve managed to do some sports at least twice a week since Juhannus. Zumba, spinning, gym and jogging.. I have to try to continue that in Brussels too. Hopefully they have there student-friendly gyms :)

It´s summer and I´m spending it in an office (with a good air-conditioning)

...well maybe some day I´ll have a nice holiday somplace warm and sunny, drinking pina coladas from a coconut.

Before that I´ll finish my internship, study in Belgium, write my master´s thesis, graduate, find a good job and work there for a good while in order to earn a holiday. Oh boy.

Happily, I enjoy all of this. The feeling of leaving in few months, when everything is uncertain and you just picture things in your head.. Having a lot to study and to do but knowing that one day it will pay off.. I do enjoy planning and dreaming about future! But still, every morning when I pass by the coffee/spice factory on my way to work, I smell the fresh coffee often mixed with the cinnamon scent, I think how I should always remember this moment...

My side-project for the summer...
