Ma Finlande/ Rovaniemi

Dear people who might perhaps have a look to my blog,I thought it would be the time ti give some news. Since the last time I wrote, a looot of things happened. So, once again, i dont know where to start ! tss.. Time passed very fast. I had a lot of stuff to do for school. I was counting every day before i woudl be back to Czech. I actually went to Russia for a course by that time. Wonderful experience, 1 week in Kola Peninsula. I learned a lot about what was going on up there, the lectures were all very interesting and the scenery even more. I took thousand pictures in one week. The colors, the people, the weather, everything inspired me. I felt desoriated for the first time in a while. I was quite lost there in a way... but awesome ! After that between my courses the sun just really came back in Rollo. There was already no nights when I left. The weather was super nice, we spent quite a lot of time drinking beers on the beach next by valde mari... hmm... I compared the midnight sun to november but in positive ! It is always bright outside, you get a bit mixed up with your habits. Dont know if it is time to eat or to sleep or to do something with your life. It was really nice ! The life in Kunotie changed a bit as well. We were always talking together from balcony to balcony. If somebody would be playing guitar on another balcony it would have quite a big audience there. the kind of squares that make the backyard of kuntotie is really perfect to chill all together even when we are all on different balcony. I loved it ! What else... I went to sweden ! With lady lada for one day. Just the time to say : smör ! eat a pizza, drink a couple of swedish beers in a certain park and realised that nothing was going on in that city. Let's go bakc to jamaica AKA Oulu in Finland ! There we had a long party night. Otherwise in Rollo, between firecamps, kauppayhtiö, karaokes, beers on the beach we were just happy all together hanging around.

My last week was quite painful... I couldnt believe i choose myself to leave that place in advance. I was quite emotional the whole week. It was actually a very very nice week. It started by my openning and pilvi's openning. An evening drinking by the lake side... a lot of sun ! a lot of friends! a lot of evening together! Lys-ange's teather play! a lot of cleaning! a lot of stress ! tsss... A last party in kauppa and then by goodbye party at the fire place... Evrething was really nice. I was glad so many people came to say goodbye to me. The last day they even ran after the train ! I coudn't manage to keep the tears. I cried a lot ... but their energy filled me of positivisme and after one night in the train and one night in the airport of london, I was back with Jakub ! I was so glad to see all my czech friends again that i couldnt be sad with them ...

I still keep one thousand good memories of the napapiiri and I'll be back to Rollo by the end of june ! Can't wait to see minun ystävät again!! So difficult to decide where to be somtimes ! tsss... but like my title says, I am in austria now. Chilling with Aleeex. We had a dreamy meeting with jakub, jan, alex, sarah and sabrina. It seemed so unrealistic to see the friends from the 1rst semester again but it was sooooo good ! A big big party on this austrian balcony and even more days in Austria for me... !! Life is well done :) I am so lucky to have met all those good people, and so lucky to be able to meet them again and again. I wish it could last forever, until the sky falls down on me for example tsss.. !!

I'll add more pictures one day... I am wondering if there are still some people brave enough to follow my lazyness to take care of this blog! 

                                                         

After a while without having written anything, I'm back with some stories of Czech Republic and in English this time! I switched of language because of a certain man who was a bit grognasse one day and told me that an English blog could be more useful for everyone...So, even if I'm not totally sure about my English skills, I’ll try to manage it for my dear friend Jakub Skopek :P ( But I also know it would be great for a lot of other people…So, you were kind of right monsieur!)

First of all, my Christmas holidays didn’t really start in Czech but in Jyväskylä in central Finland. I went with Audrée to celebrate Christmas with Pilvi’s family. That was just awesome! We not always got our real Finnish Christmas but we also felt like if we had a family abroad. The most difficult for me the first time that I spent this period of the year in Europe, was definitely to know my family in Canada and me in stupid France… It is just too important to be well surrounded at Christmas, it’s a law! This time, that’s was perfect. We really felt like at home, Tuula really acted like our maman J and our time spent with Paoli was really cool even if we could not communicate with him in English! We spent 5 days there and that was very relaxed, we went to the forest many times after we realized how metsalainen we were and we didn’t wanted to do that much kaupunkilainen activities, of course ! The time spent with Pilvi was also very great, we don’t always have time to chill together at school and those holidays were just the perfect moment to do it.      

               

And then, on the 27 of December, we left Finland to go to Czech Republic to meet all or Czech friends, my friend EDITH and some daneks. Two weeks, of good beers, good food, good people, good moments, some grognasse times too but, no big deal! We went to Prague like every tourist does but we also visited Ceska Kanada, where we celabrated the New Year eve in a cottage in the forest! What a nice time!  No shower for 4 days, costumed moments with friends, discovery of the hermelin and improvements of my Czech skills: P what do you want more ?!  We visited a bit the countryside of Czech, were we met Jakub’s parents who hosted us pretty well!! His mother is the queen of cooking!  After all those sweets, we passed by Brno and Zlin to meet our friends Jan and Lukas and went back to Prague after our last stop in Pacov the city of our artistic friend Veronika J 

Prague was great too, a bit cold compared to the article circle but that was nice to spend time there, to go to the ballet at the Opera and look chic and rich ! Haha! What I really loved in this trip was that it was just chill all the time. We never woke up early, we seen everyone that we wanted to see and that was just a good way to say our last farewells to our best friends met in Rovaniemi. The moment where we left Klara and Jakub at the airport was probably the most painful moment of this beautiful trip L  Audree and I cried for…. A fucking long time! We bought some whiskey and spent one night drinking sips for every of our friends who would not be in Finland for this new semester. Sounds a bit pathetic but that was very symbolic I’ll say!                        
                                                                                                             

Now we are back! The head full of great memories. I still need a bit more time to get use to my “new” life. To accept that Jakub and Alex won’t couchsurf at our place anymore. We have to start to think about cleaning the kitchen by ourselves and forgetting about this delicious Austian food, or klara’s babovka… this semester is a new era. No brunches forever, No lunches and coffes with Jakub in Lovisa for 5 hours, No Jon Lajoie jokes anymore (I’ll try hard). This semester I get a life! (I’ll also try very hard( should start by finishing the poneys…)) ! It’s really time for all of us (Even the people who are gone! haha) to stop playing cards and drink whiskey every day and do something with our lives! Lol the blues are still there for me, I kind of sulk the new exchange students but it will changes soon I guess. Life is well done, that was just too beautiful to meet you all, guys! Too beautiful to be sad of it :P Hope with all my heart to see you again in future !! kisses and hugs for everyone who chilled with us in our Quebecilainen flat :P

I don't have time now to put the pictures of Czech on my blog but as soon as my oral presentation will be done, I'll manage to add some new pictures about Czech republic but also maybe about Rovaniemi because I just realized the last ones are very old. They are from our first brunch, this time when the sun haven’t been gone and when Skopek didn't decided to grow a beard !
