Kolmas kiri

Armsad sõbrad, pere jne!

Mida ma teen oma eluga? Miks inglise keeles? Täiesti segane.

Okei. Olen nüüdseks elnud Šotimaal paaegu 7 kuud. Seitse kuud!!! Kuhu see aeg läks?

Armas koht on, mulle õudsalt meeldib. Igatsen kodu, aga ausalt öeldes oli esimesel semestril hullem. Nüüd kui olen korra ka juba eestis käinud ja siia tagasi tulnud on kuidagi kergem. Eelmine postitus oli väga dramaatiline, pean seda ka ise tunnistama. Selline ma olengi, kui üritan fancylt kirjutada, Aga kellele seda üldse vaja on? Pmst loen ainult mina praegu neid postitusi ja kui ma otsustan neid kellegagi jagada, siis suva. Kirjutan nii, nagu mõte voolab, see on blogi mitte "Tõde ja õigus".

Ühikas on naljakas elada. Ühelt poolt on väga äge, kogu aeg on keegi kodus, vahetevahel juhtuvad kõige klišeemad naljakad seiklused, mida suudab ette kujutada ja mu tuba on võrratu. Samas, mitte kõik mu korterikaaslased pole inglid (kuigi kolm neist on suurepärased), köök on alati segamini ja minu introvertsematel hetkedel on tee valmistamine väga keeruline, sest kann on köögis ja normaalsetel kellaaegadel on keegi alati köögis. Mis tähendab, et sellistel päevadel joon ma teed kesköö kanti. Ja pärast ei maga. Ja siis järgmine päev kirun ennast.

Paar päeva hiljem sama asi kordub... :p

Ülikool ise on megaäge. Loengud on põnevad (enamasti. Oleneb lektorist). Laborid on väga hästi varustatud ja vahva on omal käel erinevaid tehnikaid ja meetodeid proovida.

Tööd on nata raske leida, aga seda oli ka oodata.

Inimesed on super! Ma olen leidnud nii palju uusi sõpru! 95% neist EI OLE šotlased. Eks meil rahvusvahelistel õpilastel on üksteisega ilmselt lihtsalt rohkem rääkida. Kõik on pärit nii erinevatest kohtadest, vägev on kuulda kuidas läheb elu Venetsueelas, Bulgaarias, Portugalis, Hollandis jne.

Nii palju küllakutseid, nii vähe raha. ;(

Toit on imelik. Mitte halva maitsega, vaid maitsetu. Ausalt. Kõik, alates tomatitest ja lõpetades lihaga maitseb kuidagi... vähem. Alalõpmata igatsen Eesti šokolaadi, mulgikapsaid ja loomulikult üle kõige MUSTA LEIBA!!!

Ehk sellest vist üheks korraks aitab.

Küsige küsimusi kommentaarides, siis vastan v räägin v midagi. Kuidagi imelik on lihtsalt niisama klahve toksida.

Aga olgu.

Olge siis kõik terved ja tublid!

Second Letter (Waiting is Taxing)

Dear Reader!

It's almost funny, this feeling of misplacement. Whatever I am doing, I can't fully concentrate on it because I am getting anxious. Thankfully it's nothing too bad, but it is annoying and keeps me from relaxing.

The thing is, I love it here in Estonia, especially in the summertime, but I also can't wait to move to Far Far Away. Now, just waiting wouldn't be so bad, because I'm enjoying myself as it is and it's just one more month too, after which I won't be able to see my family and friends for at least 3,5 months.

So I'm taking all I can from this summer.

No. What's making me anxious are the things I need to do before moving. Most of them are things I can only do in the city, but that is a problem because like always I am spending the summer out in the countryside. I adore the place, I really do, but it does complicate things.

Thinking logically, I know I will be able to manage everything by the end of August. Still, I am constantly thinking about how I need to pack my suitcase (which I can't do now, because my things are divided between my two homes) or how I need to print out some more documents (I don't have a printer in the country-house) or how I need to take my flute to be cleaned and polished before leaving (or do I really? Well, I don't know yet, because I haven't had the chance to go shopping so I am not yet sure how much money I have left to spend in Estonia...).

In all honesty I am over-worrying, but I also think I have a right to be concerned. After all, I haven't moved out from my mother's house before, much less to go to University in Far Far Away.)

So this is basically just a post to vent about my inability to sit still and wait like a normal person. Oh well, what can I do. Writing helps, though, so I am already feeling much better. I am just going to go and try to enjoy the rest of my summer in relative peace. Whoever might be reading this (how does the blog thing work even? How do people find random blogs to read? It's going to sound so strange to you, my friends/family, when you read this. I sound like a lunatic speaking to a mostly empty room as if it's full of audience...), let me know if you have any questions about, say, the application process or anything else like that.

Yours sincerely,

First Letter (From Not So Far Away)

Dear Reader!

So, here I am.

Honestly, this is not my first attempt at a blog (or a diary-like thing), but it is the first blog I am trying to write alone.

I never imagined I would share my personal life with the world through the Internet, but two of my best friends (you know, who you are!) encouraged me to do this, claiming that they wanted to read about my college experience once I have left the country and traveled to Far Far Away.

At the moment I am still at home, but I figured that since I will be leaving in about a month, this would be the best moment to start my personal blogging career. After all, I imagine that when I have arrived to Far Far Away I will be too busy to bother with creating one for a while. Writing, though, I enjoy and will manage quite fine.


I believe it is an unsaid requirement that a blogger should describe themselves at least a little bit.

Here are some of the most (un)important facts about me:

1. My favorite book of all times is "Harry Potter", my favorite movie is "Lord of the Rings" and my favorite anime is "One Piece". (These facts probably explain more about me than all the following...);
2. I have recently graduated from high-school and am preparing to move away from my little homey apartment where I have lived with my mother for the last 19 years. (More or less. I am also not only leaving my homey apartment, but I am leaving my home country as well, which happens to be Estonia);
3. I have a Siamese cat named Saphira who got named after a dragon;
4. I will start studying biological sciences in the fall.
5. When I claim some band to be my favorite, you can safely assume that I will not know what its members look like, what their names are and most importantly, I don't actually regularly listen to more than 10 of their songs (there are exceptions, of course, but those are far and few in between);
6. English is my second language (so please be forgiving of the mistakes I am bound to make, but point them out to so I can fix them);
7. I love stargazing on hot (yeah, right. As if Estonia ever has hot days in the summer, much less nights...) August nights;
8. I have no siblings;
9. I am a bit of a introvert (okay. A lot of a introvert, but it doesn't usually inconvenience my life much, so I don't mind it);
10. I am a girl (but that might be obvious. Or not. Don't know, really...)

I think that is it for the first post. You may ask me questions, but if they are too personal, I probably won't answer. I'll try to write a letter every week, but I am not sure how consistent I will be in it. I'll do my best. I have to warn you all that while it is meant to be a blog that revolves around my daily life at Uni, it will most certainly be filled with ramblings about different fandoms and things that I am passionate about, so don't get spooked when I start raving about things completely unrelated to University life. After all it is a personal blog about my life in general so that my friends (and anybody else who is interested) could see how I am doing.

Yours sincerely,
