The Secret History
Welcome to the new stage in my blog life. The secret life. Share the user name and password with whoever is outside of Leijonakaupunki.. But if you're here, please keep it to yourself... Last few days were terribly stressfull, because I desperately tried to take my blog down. One of my students discovered my blog & linked it from her website. Then Yong, my colleague, stumbled upon it. He said straight away that I should be more careful, because the word will spread.. I freaked out, took everything down, and sat couple of days biting my nails.. Thanks to Pekka its up again!!! Pekka, you're the man!!! If I get sacked, at least I should collect my Christmas bonus... The Leijonakaupunki economy is growing nicely, so people expect triple 13th month pay.. Yipiii!
Otherwise I'm growing all homesick here. Started cooking Lithuanian saltibarsciai, the pink soup, its great in this climate! Last night I had a dream that I was in Europe (maybe it was Finland) and it hit me that the soil is black, not red. I was almost crying, kissing the ground and stuff.. :) When I woke up, I was astonished that the dream was so rational & realistic. The soil is red in here indeed.. Never thought about it in my conscious awake life.. :)
And life indeed seems to be very bright and colourful in LT and in FI.. Looking through the old pics from previous summers, its difficult to imagine that it can be sometimes cloudy & horrible in there too... Please, tell me, reasure me that it was worth coming here.. :)
