Everything comes to an end ~ changing set of mind
December has come and going back to Finland is closing in. I still have couple of presentations, essay and three finals. Have to study in those but in the end everything is coming to the end and my mind set is in that state that soon the semester is at end and I can relax.
I have mixed feelings coming back to Finland. In the other hand I feel like I do not want to leave here. I like my life here the people, cafe culture and the fact that everyday you could do something different. But I cannot feel but that there is things that I miss about Finland for example making food, fresh air and friends and family. There is of course things that I do not miss and those are the reasons that I want to stay for example social dancing culture here is amazing and there is more men than women so you do not need to wait so long for your turn, also here men honor your own space and body, you are not touched inappropriately, this I have only faced in Finland.
In other hand I am super scared to come back because of I am scared that I will have more culture shock when I come back. Another thing is that my spring is going to be hell when looked in the study point of view and I need to graduate as a bachelor!
One good thing that has come from being exchange student is that I have started to look at the possibility that maybe I could try to find my summer job from another country. For example I want to practice my Swedish language more and have been considering that I could try to find summer work there. I think I have gotten much more brave here.
I did not think that the exchange would change me much but actually I have noticed some changes. My English has gotten better and my view of cultures and other languages is more varied. I also understand more of the cultures and the people. World has come to be more bigger than I have thought. I think I am more brave and more of myself. I am not scared anymore to use cute clothes and I am more self assure. I have learned to believe in myself and my decisions. One important thing is that I have learned to appreciate Finnish education and my roots as a Finn.
