It doesn't matter how much you fight the clock, there's nothing really you can do to stop it. Times come and times go. My time in Finland came, and now it's time to go.
I've had a wonderful experience in Finland, truely. When I arrived here I didn't like it too much, but it grew on me, and as I started finding my way around it really started to feel like home.
I have met great people here. As much as it is hard to get to know Finnish people and bond with them, once you're in you're in. They are truely some of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met, and I feel like everyone here at the office tried really hard to make me feel welcome and they have always been there for me to help me out whenever I needed help.
I will miss (never thought I would say this) the snow and the cold. I will miss spring, when everything starts to become green. I will miss summer, when it is beautiful outside. I will miss Pulla (however, thanks to Päivi in my office I have learned to make it myself!). I will miss lunches here at SAMK, even the ones at 11 o' clock. I will miss K-market. I will miss the Sauna. I will miss Etappi. I will miss the beautiful park next to the river. I will miss cycling here. I will miss my trips to Turku. I will miss Pori. But most of all, I will miss all the great people I have met here.
Looking back, I just want to say I'm so thankful that I've had this experience. I have learned a lot from it, from the good and the bad. I wouldn't change it in the world. And I hope I will come back to Finland some day.
So long friends. I wish you all the best!
