A lot has happened during these weeks, and I'll write down most of later on, but right now I weep because I've lost someone very important person in my life. A wonderful woman, my best friend's mother who practically raised me, too. A woman who introduced me to her friends as one of her daughters and whom I called my extra-mom. She passed away today (yesterday? I don't even know what time it is, I cannot sleep), suddenly, unexpectedly, and I'm too far away to hug anyone who knew and loved her. 
I lost my father 6 years ago. He, too, died unexpextedly, and I know that the fact that someone you loved is gone, doesn't sink in until a few days later. This time it'll be a bit easier for me, but right now I'd like to be there, to comfort the man I love, to tell him (and the rest of the family) that the reaction, and tears, will come later, after a few days.
But I am not there, so I sit in my room, all alone, and weep.

summertime...
Posted Jul 17, 2000
... which is why I cannot get connected to the Net. I just found the public library's computers and could check my e-mail for the first time in how-many-weeks.. Take my advise, don't wait that long. "You have 18 gazillion new e-mails"...
I've only 4 weeks left of my summer holiday and I've haven't even had the time to get a proper suntan. Yeah, I know, it's mostly because I've had this summer-job, but still, the weather around here could be better.
What's new, then? I've quit my teaching job (I was only a substitute and that without any education in teaching), and I survived it. It was actually both much more work and much more fun than I had thought it would be. -and I'm going to miss several of the kids.
Now I'm back in Finland over the summer, enjoying the rain and thunder, visiting some old friends and meeting new ones. I was out on a real "first date" for the first time in 7 years and I was soooo nervous... it went well, we both still wanted to meet again afterwards... I feel like a teenager again...

I'm apparently all too busy since I no longer have the time to update my journal. Argh. I wonder why?
- oh, yes. I became a substitute teacher and have my days filled with interesting and exciting events, like, um, evacuating the classroom after several fire alarms, dragging teenagers out from under the tables (playing hide-and-seek), running after some kids that want to see what happens if you pour HCl in somebody's rugsack and trying to tell them that it's not a good idea to sniff ammoniac (sp? HN3)... 
And some people thnk that my life is boring... wanna trade??

new year, new tricks...
Posted Jan 21, 2000
... or something like that.
I'm finally back on-line (I've missed h2g2) after a 4-week holiday. Sort-of-a-holiday, actually, since I went home for Christmas, but worked almost every day there. But it was nice to home, meet my mother and friends, see some snow (80cm on New Year's Eve) and speak Finnish.
New Year was cosy, we have a cabin on (in?) the archipelago, so instead of going to some big Millennium-party, we had a warm sauna, some rolling on the snow (and more sauna after that). Just before midnight we went to the jetty to see the fireworks and drank champagne from plastic cups.
