Running Out of Time... + Random Fact

Source: ℒαureℓ ♡ / We Heart It

I am so excited! Next week I will move out from my apartment, and my train will leave in 16 days.
But hey, something feels wrong. I am running out of time!

I enjoyed my summer a lot, but I think it went too quickly. I would have loved to do so many things yet, but current circumstances are not favourable to all my plans and wishes. Plus, it is already too cold for swimming or laying on the beach ;___; (I love swimming. I could live in the water. If I had gills.)

Where I spent most of my freetime. Mytäjärvi :>

What makes leaving the most terrible: I never thought that I would miss people. Previously when I was at home, I realized how much my family misses me. Fortunately, I will see them quite much before I leave. Last week I said goodbye to my close friend, and yesterday I had to do the same to my other darling. Both times felt so bad. I miss you already HL and EM ♥ And there are still so many goodbyes to be said...

Being separated of friends and family members prevents incredibly many people from leaving for exchange. I know some like this. From my perspective it feels sad because I want to see the world (and refuse to let others prevent my dream come true), but on the other hand I have started to understand this perspective more... Anyway, I believe that suffering from longing and leaving my own comfort zone will be worth all the experiences I will have abroad. I feel relieved that I can always come back - as long as my nearest and dearest stay on their places. In case they do not - I can always visit them no matter where they are... ;)

Test Packing & Ticket Shopping

On Wednesday, I tested how much my bags can carry stuff. They are not too big, for example my suitcase is only 58 cm x 41 cm x 19 cm. And I am supposed to squeeze four months of my life in those measurements! (It would be easier to buy a bigger suitcase, but I think that doing so would only encourage me to take unnecessary items with me...)

And on Thursday, I bought my train ticket! Fortunately I am not superstitious ('フ')

People have asked me many times if I feel terrified about leaving to Moscow. I have always said "no", but this evening I felt nervous for the first time - not really (still) about leaving Finland, but about how fast time flies. Now it is exactly three weeks till I move out to my parents' place, and five days after that I will really go to Russia! [:
