Lots of wondering...
Just got back from my second trip to Carrefour today. Y’see, I bought two T-shirts and the second one was supposed to be half-price. I didn’t notice the fact that the machine didn’t give me the reduced price until I got back. So I went back. It was only 1,20 € that I went back for, but that’s one hour’s worth of being online. And I got my bank card sorted out as well. Now it has the Bancontact function and the Maestro side so I can use it abroad. Probably won’t, but it’s still good to have a back-up. What’s really scary is walking around with over 200€ in one’s wallet. I totally forgot that I still had it in there when I left. It’s what was left of the money our parents sent us for the rent. But not as scary as having four 500€ bills like I did when I first got here… Why do they print money that large? I guess it’s easier for people to pay the rent with one or two of those than loads of 20s and 50s. But I think most people just pay their rent and other bills through the bank and not with cash…
Egh, such filth. And the cleaner doesn’t come until Thursday. I’d really like my own vacuum. With two girls living together, a lot of hair accumulates onto the floor. And another thing, how does hair get stuck inside of socks? I know we walk on the hair on the floor, but that still doesn’t explain how the hair gets inside. It’s supposed to stay on the outside. Do socks affect the dryness of the skin on the feet? For some reason my feet are really really dry. Maybe it’s the washing detergent that I use to wash our clothes. Ooooh. What I really miss is being able to be outside barefoot. I can do that in Myrskylä. Actually, that’s the only place I can think of where I’m able to do that. I love summer over there. Okay so there’s nothing to do over there except swim, swing and read but that’s all I really need during the summer. Shopping is fun, but that’s more of what you do in the city. And I think I prefer the countryside during the summer. I now sort of get why Finns love summer cottages so much. Your own little piece of peace and quiet. Time just stops when you’re in your own place. Away from it all, etc.
Still haven’t figured out what we’re gonna do with all of this stuff that we have. I really hope Jaz can leave a suitcase at school for the summer. Even as it is now, her suitcase is going to weigh over 20 kg. Although this time, if we leave the suitcase at VF, we’re taking it there with the bus. Not gonna get more blisters on my hands.
Hmm… it’s raining. Hope Jaz won’t get sick because of walking in the rain. I did buy tea for her, so at least that should warm her up a bit if the shower doesn’t have any hot water. I’ll start dinner now so she can have something warm when she gets here…
