Some random ideas and concerns:
– London said, yes, they want me regardless of having or not having MSc. Jig-a-jig! I hated having a single, stubborn individual to determine my career and life. The appeal to the Rector is still being examined by her Excellency, but now I am not kneeling day and night in front of half a dozen people.
– The sun is shining brightly in Frankfurt. Is it really in a few weeks that I will be leaving for good? The Weihnachtsmarkt will be shut in a couple of days and the Christmas spirit will make one year’s break. I cannot believe it is nearly time to go. Getting out of this hotel room will be lovely, though.
– There has been so much singing in the past few weeks. My dear choir at the Anglican Church in Frankfurt, I already miss contributing my amateur tenor voice and, correspondingly, being the only female tenor around. Psallite, unigenito. Our performance at the Weihnachtsmarkt last Friday was a big hit. I always thought German Christmas markets lacked one important element of fun, i.e., Christmas music. Christo Dei Filio, Redemptori Domino, puerulo, jacenti in praesepio…
– First time away from mama and papa at Christmas. Planned: three church services (more singing!), half a dozen Christmas dinner invitations (my diet starts, er, tomorrow), and soaking in brine for three days together with the rest of the country. The postcards are already on their way to their various destinations – thank goodness. Presents? Not planned, but are welcome. The swimming pool will be shut for two days (bugger).
– Finland is approaching. Aaaa. Aaaa! Not sure yet when exactly I will go back. Shall I only have one day in Riga after Frankfurt, or two? It is weird how I look forward to being back in Suomi sometimes and hate the idea the next moment. The country is fine, I have great friends, I will rejoin my old choir and sing my favourite tenor part again, I will nick the same bread crusts from the school canteen, babysit the same twins, sauna-bathe with the same old Finnish ladies, tread the same streets of Helsinki. I will be ok. If only I could avoid it all.
– I really need to be working, actually.
