A DAY IN MY LIFE IN FINLAND

Hello and welcome back!


I thought that I might do another Day in my life post, but this time a “Finnish version”. I’m doing my marketing internship at the international car corporation presently and I’m enjoying my days at the office. Today I had a couple of personal appointments to go to, so I was working remotely. I decided that I want to write what I did during the day and it would give you a better picture of what kind of life I usually live these days.



06:30 Tinja’s alarm clock wakes me up (that goddamn bird sound) long before I even have to wake up. I get up and angrily turn the alarm off. We’ve had some struggles with that clock because it gets on even it’s supposed to be off. We’re currently working on it.


06:40 After 10 minutes of struggle I manage to turn the clock off and get back to bed.


08:00 My alarm wakes me up but I’ll get that well deserved extra 10 minutes (more like 40 to be honest).


08:45 I finally get up, go wash my face and make myself a breakfast porridge. I usually put in some chia seeds, a banana and some frozen blueberries. I also make myself a cup of tea- Yorkshire tea of course!


08:55 I open my laptop and I’m ready to start working.




09:00 Today’s to-do list is not a long one but I have a whole Monthly Marketing Report to do which includes nearly 90 Powerpoint slides. It’s quite a lot of work, to be honest, so I’ll be working on that probably the whole day.


11:15 I have a dentist appointment 10 minutes from my place so I’ll quickly just change my clothes and walk to the reception.


11:30 The appointment was a quick one and I get to go back to home continue my workday.


12:00 I continue working on the report.



14:00 I realise I’m super hungry and I’ll make myself some avocado pasta (I love it because it’s so quick to make and tastes so good).


17:30 I finish the report and get some other work done as well. I finally turn my laptop off.


18:00 After just chilling and watching some Youtube videos (She’s my favourite, I love her Cambridge university videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVgG1Tu_23FnA2vPqC_igw/featured) I make my way to the university to get some books for my thesis (and when writing this I looked at my books and realised that I have two same books by accident, oops).


19:00 After getting the books and getting food from the shop, I take a shower to get ready to watch movies and chill.


19:30 I text Fraser that I’m ready to Facetime and watch The Bodyguard (this series is so good) and usually make myself some food because it always takes him some time to get ready- A man gotta eat too!


21:00 It’s usually around this time when we start watching the series. I got some new Kettu- sweets (Finnish sweets) from the shop and I love them! I used to love the original ones and I think these are even better.



23:00 It ends up being this late when we finish watching/ Facetiming and I need to go quickly brush my teeth and go to bed.


Overall it was a good day and I got a lot done. And tomorrow I’m going to spend the whole day in the library to try to get my thesis plan started- it’s gonna be so much fun (not)! Thanks for reading this far and have a good day wherever you are.
