27. Long time no post - greetings from London

Sooo, it's been like.. five months? Anyway a long time's passed since the last post, so sorry for that! I havent just felt like writing, or those times I did I just lacked the motivation and the longer it's been the harder it got to start so... ;___D 

But now we're here~ I'm glad if there's still ppl out there following >,<"

Long story short: after the Seoul trip (see the last post from May) I stayed at friend's house in Osaka, just for a few days and cuz it was my first time in Kansai I made some day trips and went to see Kyoto and Nara, alone. Had a great time and back in Tokyo the last two weeks were quite busy, I went out a lot, met some friends and so on. . . Well on 15th, then, I returned to Finland and started working right away. The summer was busy as hell, but at the same time things couldn't have gone better!!

I worked, at McDonalds (the one on the Mannerheimintie in Forum) and then in August I also took part in a medical research that ran through the whole month, we had to go there 4 times and stay overnight, then in the morning we had to inhale some asthma medicine and give blood for the tests. I dont love needles but they paid pretty well, i got like 800 euros only for that, so it was worth it B)) at the same time i continued cleaning on weekends and did a few afternoon shifts on my mom's work place, so some weeks were pretty hard to organize, but well, i diiiid it. And i really needed to get all the money possible for this Autumn!!

Yep, so i'm sitting in my own small room right now, i live in the halls at the university, so we're 4 ppl sharing the flat. I like my room actually, it's the third floor so the view is nice and no-one can see in heha, i also get some sports done while running up and down the stairs. Plus we only share the kitchen so i have my own bathroom and all~

I don't remember how much i told about the courses i applied to, but in the end i decided for Kingston University that's right next to London, or actually this is a part of Greater London, but Kingston upon Thames is a small town so I dont actually feel like i'd live in London. By train it's only about 20 minutes so it's really close tho!! Aaand about the course, it's a three-years BA course in Drama and International Relations, so basically I study both subjects 50/50, Monday and Tuesday I have my IR lectures and from Wednesday to Friday I'm studying drama.

I can tell more later, the meaning of this post was just to tell you im still alive and kicking, and that im gonna keep on running this blog :DD yey! I'm too lazy to clean my room and take proper pictures right now (it looks horrrrrible in here, i have to jump and make acrobatics just to get to the window and table....), so i'll just put here one i sent home before~
I'll give you some more in the future ;D this doesnt yet have all my personal stuff so it looks kinda cold..

I haven't yet decided what to write in the next post, but if you have any ideas, just speak out and i can tell about the things you want!! Again, sorry for not having updated even once during the summer :__D But i hope you guys enjoyed ur holidays etc, now lets try to work hard this autumn!!!

aaaa im so glad i got this done, feel so great for updating again (  ^,^) u'll here about me soon, it's a promise now ok!!
