Phew, what a weekend!! On Friday, we had a memorial thing for my aunt L and put her ashes in the ground. The weather was fine, even kind of sunny when we got to the grave. But as soon as the urn touched the ground, a hell of a hailrain broke out and completely soaked […]

But if you ask where I’m staying tonight
EUROPE HERE WE COME! I’m at Emil’s place and we just booked our flights for the INTERRAIL next summer! We decided to travel in July instead of June, since I have a chance at getting a summerjob and it’d be cool to go when most people go, and PLUS we got the flights for 80 […]
Catching the sun before it sets
I had a really boring and tiring day with lots of work and no real challenges and no real results. This is why I couldn’t do only one job from 8-16. It’d be sooo much easier, but I get tired after less than a full working day. My head likes to have 1000 irons […]
Streets of laughter, streets of pain
Here we go, new week. The weekend was great, saw a lot of friends and family, and now I’m at work with a lot of new energy. Yesterday me and my supervisor planned my competence test and that was a lot of fun. I didn’t think we could come up with a reasonable idea in […]
It’s all about now
SPRING! I’m wearing my half-fake-leather-jacket open and driving my moped illegally fast around town and sitting outside for four hours in a row without minding the wind or the still kind of-frozen ground. It’s been an amazing couple of days. I really enjoy working at HBL, I got an interview for a summer job, and […]
Give me one good reason
How come, that when we see a flashing green dude on the traffic lights, we start running over the street, but when it turns red we start walking like, ” I didn’t reach the other side before the green light stopped flashing so I might just as well get ran over and die”? Just a […]
Feel like you still have a choice
Yesterday was the first day of my internship at Hufvudstadsbladet, the biggest Finn-Swedish newspaper there is. I’m on the visual side, so basically doing layouts and info-graphics. FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS. We signed the contract yesterday and chose a project to do as a YRKESPROV. Today I’m up to some more layout and the rest […]
Are we in this together
Just another amazing day to live in. It’s hard to explain the gratefulness when you’re sitting in Porvoo Old Town in a café drinking hot chocolate with your best friend and it’s Monday, sunny and you have the day off.
That’s all for now okay
ARCHIPELAGO! This is what Finns do when they have time off. Thye go their mökki (lodge, cabin whatever you want to call it), go swimming, spend time outside and with their families, complaining about the the lack of internet connection and the amount of work that should be done in the yard, even thought they […]
The trees they fall down on their own
Two pictures from monday, we had a Youth Editorial meeting for the newspaper Östnyland. I have an article about easter and easter eggs haha in today’s newspaper, and then next week and the week after that we have election specials, so I’ve got the columns for both weeks. Right now I’m in the archipelago, spending […]
