walk the line

Incredible nostalgia. Taking me back to when I was 15. It was such an important band when I was an angry teen. Haven't really listened to them in years but know every old song by heart. Such a great, personal concert! They're exactly like they were years ago. I love seeing people loving doing what they're doing. 

The best thing about being done with school is to watch a movie on a Friday evening without feeling guilty that I'm not studying for some exam, learning some speech or writing my thesis paper. Graduation on the 17th of June! Watched "High Strung". So full of cliches, full of stereotypes, random and unrealistic moments, but all the dance scenes are great, the music is absolutely beautiful and the classical and the contemporary are mixed so well. Keenan Kampa is gorgeous! As a bonus there are some uplifting moments and heart-warming scenes. And the final dance is so worth sharing!

I've always thought Helsinki to be quite a random city to visit, maybe because it is so close and as a kid and early teen I've been there a million times, but also because there is not much to do. Well, we went to Mumford and The Sons concert on Saturday (I have to just stress out again how much I love bands that are true performers, their live was so good!). We stayed at Felix and Sara's seaside apartment and had a blast with them. Went for some turkish buffet for lunch, spent time in Kiasma (more like ran out of time), went for a few drinks to Molotov bar at the hipsterish area and walked around the areas I've never been to. After the concert met with their flatmate and his coworkers and had a lovely glass of wine at a central hotel. Helsinki can be heaps of fun!

How to write a masters thesis in 48 hours ?!   Long story short, although I was more-or-less done with my thesis by mid-march, I had to rewrite more than half of it in the last minute. I never wanna feel like how I felt on a Wednesday, 5 days before the date to hand the thesis in. In complete shock, hopeless and quite ready to give up. I am so so grateful to the people who were there for me and forced me to keep going.  Worked from Wednesday evening to Friday late afternoon quite non-stop and I was ready to send it again and headed to Käsmu myself for a long weekend full of dance and great moments. To receive a letter on Saturday afternoon, that I should finish my paper and hand it in on Monday, was incredible, and suddenly all these hundreds of thousands of lost nerve cells felt worth it.  Pictures by Kati!
