Hecticism

It truly is a busy life. I haven't even had time to read what Eve wrote 2 weeks ago until now. This blog is after all meant to be a way to share with each other what's going on in our lives apart. Eve's been here this weekend, and it was lovely seeing her again. Kind of feels like we didn't even have time to catch up though, I have no idea where this weekend disappeared. I've been resting a bit for once, Saturday was my first day in ages when I didn't have to do anything in particular. Amazing. I slept until 10, went to the library, got a coffee and some vegan cupcake and chocolate from Broadway Market, went to the gym, then to a photography gallery and then later on we danced the night away at Blues Kitchen in Camden. Sunday was nice too, meeting, running, gym, swimming and Hoxton Gallery, which had an amazing art show featuring Street Artists. I really loved it, go see it if you can!
Now I'm in the office listening to some of our new piano tracks, that are so beautiful I could easily shed a tear or two. I have another very busy week ahead of me. I'd feel like going to bed at 9 PM but that's just not going to happen. I've got something planned for every week night this week. A few weeks back i finally started CrossFit for real and I am literally in love with it!! My squat and deadlift technique have improved fast and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. Too bad my schedule is so busy, there are only a few classes a week that fit in, so I haven't finished my Level 1's yet.
Last week I was at the Neighbourhood's gig, it was surprisingly great! I fell in love with Sweater Weather ages ago, so it was pretty amazing hearing it live and having lots of people singing along around me. I guess London's a pretty awesome place to go to concerts. Looking forward to many more.
Time to get back to work. I feel quite awake after this morning's workout and heaps of coffee. Effective Monday, here I am.

Hey peeps!

1 week in London! All is swell! I love this place. Can't believe our luck, we moved to the coolest area in London. Both Shoreditch and Dalston are so cool and trendy. Shoreditch is the new headquarters of the creative people and oh ain't I loving it! Laura got a job at our (already) favorite smoothie bar and it's awesome. I'm still not sure where I'll end up working but I'm not in a hurry. For one thing, I'm looking forward to trying out the gyms around here. Especially the Reebok Gym, even though it isn't exactly in our quarters. When I get my first paycheck, that's where I'll be living at least for a month.
Can't believe the amount of events and concerts here. There are three major film festivals during September/October, lots and lots of awesome concerts, parties, you know it! Can't say I miss Stockholm haha. But life is what you make it, I guess, and I'm more positive now than I was in Stockholm. I guess I did get a bit of a break in Finland after all.
Another good thing about our hoods: the parks! London's a cool place to go out running in, the parks even have trails so you don't have to run on concrete all of the time. *handclapping*
Today's Laura's last day off before starting her new job so we'll probably just wander around, taking it easy. I got so much energy. I've been getting up around 7 AM most mornings without trying, too energetic to sleep longer. I guess I'm very excited for every new day. Eyy who's the positive monster here now!!? Haha... Crazy person #1.

Life is awesome and so are you.

Landelta Lontooseen

Oli kieltämättä vaikeaa valita millä kielellä aloitan kirjoittamisen. Koska Suomesta ollaan niin ehkä parempi aloittaa suomeksi. Tai no, itse asiassa vain minä olen Suomessa syntynyt mutta kai nuo kaksi muutakin saa laskea ihan suomalaisiksi. Jos sitten ensimmäiseksi esittelisin itseni. Minä olen Sara, 22 vuotta ja asun Tukholmassa. Tämä blogi on saanut alkunsa Even aloitteesta ja myös Laura on tässä mukana. Me tullaan varmaan kirjoittamaan samalla tavalla kuin toistemme kanssa puhutaan, eli kolmella kielellä (suomi, ruotsi ja englanti). Mitäpä muuta? No, minä ja Laura ollaan suunniteltu että me muutetaan elokuussa Lontooseen. Siitä tämä "Landelta Lontooseen"-juttu lähtikin liikkeelle. Vaikka ehkei Tukholmaa voi sanoa landeksi... Tällä hetkellä säästetään rahaa ja järjestellään pikku hiljaa asioita kuntoon muuttoa varten. Mutta sinne onkin vielä puoli vuotta! Niin joo, voin varoittaa että minä tulen varmaankin kirjoittamaan paljon treenaamisesta, kun se on ehdoton lempipuheenaiheeni. Monia se varmaan ärsyttää, mutta ei se mitään! Minulle se tuo niin paljon iloa elämään, etten malta olla puhumatta siitä. 

Suomesta ollaan, Ruotsissa asutaan ja Lontooseen muutetaan.

And in English:
Well, I started writing my first blog post here in Finnish. I thought it was suitable since I'm Finnish. We all are, more or less. I'm Sara and this is the blog I'll be sharing my thoughts on together with my two best friends, Laura & Eve. Since me & Laura are planning to move to London in August, Eve came up with the idea of us sharing a blog and using it to keep each other updated. We already have vivid daily conversations on whatsapp, but it felt like a fun idea to create a blog and to share the good and the bad with everyone. I'm 22 and I live in Stockholm. I'll warn you, I'm probably going to write quite a lot about training and health, since those are the things I love to talk about. And why not, they make me a better and happier person, so why not share the happiness with everyone? I also love to take photos (even though I haven't been doing much of it lately, except on Instagram). So that's a short introduction. Hope you (whoever you are) enjoy reading our crazy stories.
