It’s so funny how popular you become in a group of girls the moment you mention you’re from the famous, “Kaliforniassa!” I started dance this week, trying out two types: Katu (hip-hop/street) and Nyky (contemporary). I’m so glad that I chose dance as my main physical activity because not only is it a great opportunity to socialize and make friends with people my age, but also because I love dance anyways and that’s what I did back home.
My dad took me to a meeting concerning Brexit. I got to meet the English ambassador stationed in Finland. There are some very unfortunate problems politically that are occurring right now and while it didn’t take this meeting for me to notice or realize this, it felt more real to have a knowledgeable important person explaining it right to me instead of little snippets that roam around on social media.
And while we are all in a bit of a difficult time, my parents reminded me that hey-right at this moment, I’m living in a really wonderful place full of wonderful people. It’s good to remember to step back and focus and appreciated the now rather than worrying about something that may never happen.
