weekend 2

Another conclusion of mine was that I need to get money. Okay, normal flight tickets would do as well, but unfortunately you have to pay for them with money. I think, once settled in Vienna, I will want to come back to Manchester as soon as possible and as often as possible. Before I lived here, I always wanted to be somewhere else, live another kind of life. If I was in Austria, I wanted to be abroad. If I was in Finland, I wished I was back in Austria. Once back in Austria I wanted to go to Finland again. This is the first time in my life that I don't actually want to move or move on. Would it be too childish if I threw myself on the floor of my room, started to cry and refused to go home? Home... home is a strange word and I think I have forgotten the meaning.

I read "The five people you meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom yesterday and it was a beautiful book. I was sad when it finished because it had finished :-D Not many books make me feel like that. It was a very reassuring book that basically just said that nothing in life happens without a reason and that heaven exists to explain our earthly life to us. Aw, I wish it was like that! It was such a good book.

You won't believe what happened just now! My best friend from my time in Finland (she's Russian, but has lived in Finland for most of her life) has just talked to me on msn messenger and told me that she's going to study in Manchester next year!!! ?!?! WOW!! I can't believe it... I am going to see her :-D I haven't seen her for over two years now and we've both been very busy over that time, but I am going to see her in September- that is so great. Oh yes, I haven't written anything here yet, but I am going home on August 13th for four weeks. I am going to take the coach, after all (it was much cheaper than flying) and I am going to return to Manchester on September 11th (well, that's when I leave Vienna- I won't arrive until the 12th) for a few weeks. Hey, of course I can't miss the wine evening, can I? ;-)

A few days ago one of my two best friends, Natascha, has told me she's found another flat for us in Vienna. Well, we're second on the list of who will get it, but we've still got a good chance. Damn, things are finally materialising and getting more specific... I've nearly got a flat, I have applied to uni and I even know my returning date! :-O That is scary... I better go now and hide in my bed...
