1 month to go

'Dear STEFANIE XXX. You have submitted a TYS KAMPUS housing application. We have reserved an apartment for you at 20380 TURKU / RITZINKUJA XXX.'

I have a room in Turku! Woohoo! After waiting for almost 2 month, I know now for sure that I don‘t have to sleep under a bridge from September onwards. And I got the room in my favorite residential area which is really great. So this was the last thing in preparation before I leave Germany in exactly 4 weeks.
I also sold some of my furniture already and will move the rest back to my parents in 3 weeks.

Till then my daily routine is: getting up, writing essays, eating, writing essays, sleeping.
So much fun! ;)

52 days left

So with just 52 days left till I go to Finland I finally booked my flight today. Like 5 years ago I will fly directly to Turku which will make it a little easier for my sleeping arrangements. :) Well and I wasn't so keen on sleeping again at a train station. Did that too often in the past 3 years. ;) Let's just hope my luggage won't get lost in Copenhagen where i have to change planes.

By now the whole planning and organizing is going well. I enrolled at Åbo Akademi, terminated my rental agreement, applied for a flat in Turku (still waiting for an offer), booked the flight now and will start organizing my 'good bye party' tonight. :D

Yesterday was my last day at university so I'm now just writing essays all day long. Well in between the World Cup matches at least. ;) But if Brazil goes home today I'll have again a lot of time for my essays. :/

The last week at uni was sort of weird. Saying goodbye to teachers and fellow students with whom I had so many good courses and memories in general. But it was really nice to see all the excitements and joy after I told everybody about my scholarship. It feels good to know that so many people are happy for me. :) I'll hope I meet as many nice people in Turku again as i meet here in Magdeburg.
