Moi moi, Suomi
So I’ve been putting off writing this entry for some time. Part of the reasoning behind this is that I’ve been incredibly busy this past week or so adjusting to life back home (for the 12 days that I’m here) along with unpacking, going through storage boxes and re-packing. Another reason for this delay is similar to why it took me so long to pack my things when leaving Oulu – it makes it feel so much more real that it’s over.
I spent my last night blowing bubbles and goofing off with my friends outside my apartment building and then heading inside when the mosquitos got too bad. Up in my apartment my best friends who hadn’t left yet stayed with me nearly until I had to leave for the airport at 3:30am. One of my particularly good friends stayed the entire time. When 3:30 rolled around my very close friend Saara picked me up and gave me a ride to the nearly deserted airport after saying some tearful goodbyes.
Over the past 9 months, Oulu truly became my home. I felt so comfortable there and with my last few days there spent with friends at the riverside or the seaside as the sun stayed up for about 21 hours and the night never really showed up, it became so hard to say goodbye.
Such a unique and amazing community was formed by so many young people from all over the world coming together and sharing in the same new experiences and as happy as I am to see some of my friends here, I can’t say I wasn’t in tears on the plane. To quote my friend Caroline who studied with me last semester, “leaving Oulu is nothing but sadness because you are waking up from a perfect dream that wasn’t a dream.”
When I first embarked on this journey I didn’t know what to expect but I certainly didn’t expect to meet people who I would become so close to that I would leave in tears, and it’s hard to believe that we will (more than likely) never all be together at the same time again. It’s also hard to believe that they will not be a part of my every-day life anymore as they were before, getting coffee between classes or playing card games together. Although I’m sure I will see them again and will have more amazing times with them, it won’t quite be the same. I am so thankful, however, for the opportunity to have met them and spent time with them while I could. I’m also so thankful for Facebook and Skype making keeping in touch so much easier.
Oulu and the insane, amazing memories I’ve made there with the insane, amazing people I met there will (as cheesy as this sounds) never leave my heart and my mind. But for now – moi moi, Suomi.

fuck cancer

I just finished catching up on Game of Thrones

and my mom had to listen to my reactions to nearly the whole last episode. I think she’s concerned at how upset I was but oh my god.

Spent the day cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway with a really great friend and eating delicious food and am now finishing it by catching up on Game of Thrones and drinking wine.

Things are pretty alright today.
