Hi you all!
I've noticed that I always start my blog posts saying "it's been a while" which clearly means I don't update my blog often enough. Past few months have been full of work and I have been trying to get things sorted out, getting some progress done with my thesis and simultaneously working 8 hours a day. Two more months to go and then this intensive phase should be over.
However I have had some time to celebrate achievements as well. But this time someone else's. My dear brother graduated few months ago from high school (it's a huge thing in Finland). Because of COVID-19 all the celebrations and events were banned for a while, but we managed to arrange smaller party last weekend. There were guests on several days which meant that fewer people were at the same space at the same time.
It was a nice weekend with lots of laughter and it was great to see relatives even briefly. I hadn't even realised how much I missed my aunts, uncles and grandparents before actually seeing them. I'm not sure how good it is for my mental health to live in Helsinki in a studio flat on my own without having any type of live contact with anyone. Let's just hope that this ends soon.
After returning to Helsinki I have been working A LOT. The deadline of my thesis is in a month. I'm getting more and more worried every day but I try to remind myself that if I just do my best it will be enough. However it will require long days and lots of self-control. It would be so easy to just watch Netflix after finishing work everyday. I have to remind myself that if I'll work hard for 4 weeks, it will pay off later.
I will talk to you in a month and HOPEFULLY my thesis is ready by then!
Lots of love
