Positiivisuus on...

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.

HEY GUYZ

I am back. Or, I am gone. I said goodbye to Stockholm (for good![?]) a week and a half ago. I felt so free. Getting everything ready for the move was rather tough though. I guess I had a nervous breakdown or two. My sister was visiting me the last month of my stay in Stockholm and besides also having a lot going on at work I had to entertain her. And in addition I had to get rid of all of my things from the apartment, super exhausting. I can't believe how many clothes I'd managed to collect during those two years in Stockholm. What a nuisance to try to get rid of them. I wish I'd been able to hold a trunk sale or something like that, imagine the money I'd made with all of those clothes. My goodness. I'd be rich!!??!? Another surprise was going through my previous paychecks. I mean, WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO? Seriously? I hardly even traveled anywhere after the Sri Lanka trip in June 2013. Only London, Tenerife and then England again. I can't believe I spent all of that money on things I don't even remember buying. Need to stop spending. July was good nevertheless, the weather's been perfect. How often do we get summers like this up here in Northern Europe!?

And so, Finland. I've spent a week at our summer cottage in the wilderness in Lapland. I was looking forward to a week of quiet but since my little sister and little brother were there too, well, dream on! No quiet for me. It was awesome though and I hope to get to go there again before it's time to move to London. Speaking of which, is this exciting or what! Less than 4 weeks to go!! I've started looking for a job, a gym, street-viewing the area where we'll be living... I'm a bit nervous too, especially since I noticed the (expected) salaries are half of what I'm getting in Sweden. 's gonna be expensive. But, it's an adventure I'm looking forward to a lot. 

These last weeks in Finland I'm going to devote myself to training, dancing and running. And relaxing. No stress. Life is good and now I'm gonna eat food.

Ooh, and here a song that's been stuck on replay in my head all day for y'all to enjoy.
