014 I quit

Today I had my last day at my summer job. I said goodbye to some of the most wonderful people, but told them I'd be back in a year. So practically it wasn't a goodbye but a "see you later". But I am going to miss those faces I saw almost daily, since they taught me so much. I know it was just a summer job, but I did learn there to trust on my skills and be myself no matter what. A gas station taught me that - who would have thought! Nevertheless, those things are valuable to me and I'm sincerely thankful for everything I experienced at my work. Hopefully I can work there again when I come back to Finland!

As I got home from my last shift I suddenly realized that now I won't be waking up to got to work anymore. I have no exact time and exact place to be anymore, which means that I have to take a hold on myself and finally start doing things for the sake of my exchange year - seriously. Would you believe that even the simplest things such as making the pins and the presentation are still waiting to be done? I actually printed out over 30 pages of Moomin and Nothern lights, but ended up falling asleep on the floor while waiting for the printer to finish. How exhausting can printing be, I mean... Really?! And then there's the presentation. I have the coolest background for the first slide that will be like the cover for a magazine (a very poorly made magazine, if you ask me) and that's it. No headlines, no other pictures, no nothing.
Like I've said already, I am the worst kind of a procrastinator.


But even these things are not the reason why I'm writing this blog post, though they have very much to do with it. Allow me to put a (cough) few (cough) GIFs to demonstrate how my day has been emotionally:
