This photo describes my weekend really well:
sleepy toes
Apart from sleeping in, I spent a lot time with friends and devoted some time for shopping. A good end for an exhausting week - sorry for all the whining. Moving on, I promise...
I haven`t really had the time to look at all the feet week photos around yet, but I love this one by Astrid (found through by Shash).
My whole day was devoted to moving. It wasn`t as hard as I thought - I didn`t have that many boxes of stuff after all. Actually me and sis were mostly quick and efficient (thanks to P who helped us load the car!). The hardest part was putting together my new Ikea bookshelf ...I guess everyone who`s ever put together Ikea furniture knows what I mean! We also found a pizza/kebab place near the apartment, it was surprisingly nice - and the pizzas were huge.
ready to go...
The weekend will be devoted to some cleaning here in Helsinki and meeting friends. And taking time to think about the feet week photos - mostly I`ve snapped them in hurry to do something else. Like today. Sorry!
my feet in the morning light - and my jeans really aren`t as long as they seem!
I`m so glad this week is almost over. It`s been a very stressful one: the first days in the university (I`m very good at getting stressed about things like that and feeling like I`m doing the wrong thing etc.), moving, and something happening that made me worry about a friend - a lot. And because of/in addition to that I`ve slept too little, or not at all, most nights*. I even kind of began to hope I`d be a smoker, just to have something to calm my nerves while high on caffeine and adrenalin. I`ve tried crocheting instead, because smoking my first cigarette ever and choking on the smoke at this age would`ve just been too embarrassing! Oh well, life goes on, things will get easier with the time, even the extremely difficult ones.
*I blame my insomnia for the bad English in the last few posts - I better shape up before I have to write my first paper!
Moving tomorrow. Coming back to Helsinki for the weekend though. I still can`t quite understand I`m going to live in another town! Still some packing to do...
Red shoes (these were a late sale find) make the world feel a bit better place when you`ve slept too little. Also, a beautiful day today: in the morning it was cold and misty, and in the afternoon I sat in the sun between lectures, reading a novel. The air was so fresh and everything seemed shiny. Also I managed to bump into the only person I know from the entire university, a friend of a friend, she`s a very nice girl. (Also it`s kind of funny that one of the 21 people who began to study English translation with me knows my friends K & J from another town - well, it`s a small world, and Finland of course is even smaller.)
I think I may have found my early autumn enthusiasm, at least I`m getting there.
On Monday I couldn`t get online, on Tuesday something happened that kept me from posting. Here are the pics though (and anyway, it`s still Tuesday in London, for example!).

My week seems to be a mess, and it`s only been two days! Hope your week is at least a little less emotional.
