Crazy last Friday in Finland

Since I was on sick leave on Monday and Tuesday, the last days have been super busy at work. 

However, there was a nice moment in class with a group I've really felt connected to (Minna, yours ;)). A few months ago we did a verb exercise using the lyrics for Adele's Someone like you. So as my last words for the group I sang for them: 

"Nothing compares, 
no worries or cares, 
regrets and mistakes 
they're memories made. 
Who would have known how 
bittersweet this would taste...?

Nevermind I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg, 
I remember you said:
Sometimes it lasts in... employment contracts...
But sometimes it hurts instead."

They applauded and a few hugged me as goodbye. 
A very nice moment.

Besides having nice lessons, I managed to do almost everything I needed to, so that feels good.

 When I was cleaning out my cupboard in the teachers' lounge, a co-worker said: "You're cleaning like you're never coming back!". In reality, I don't know what happens when I return to Finland. I might apply for jobs closer to my own field or I'll be a substitute teacher again. All I know for sure is that I'll go to Flow festival in Helsinki mid-August (Florence + the Machine!!!) and spend some time with my aunt and her whole family when they come to Finland from the US. That's it, that's all I know. Everything's up in the air but that's fine by me. :) 

Today when I came home, I was so tired I took a two-hour nap. Now I'm watching TV. What a superfly way to celebrate the last Friday in Finland for over 6 months.

A week left. Days are flying by.
