I am supersuperhappy!

I found out my host family!!! Nothing can describe my feelings right now! I was so happy that I started crying in the middle of my work day :D My mom had seen the e-mail sent by AFS and she send me a text message and I called her right away. She told me what was said in the e-mail. I still can't really realize that I actually found out the family I will be living with 10 months!! 
  I will have a mom, a dad, two brothers and a grandmother! It feels so weird to say this! I will live near Krasnodar (20 minutes away, I'm not sure about the exact place) which is situated in the south of Russia. 
  ..and I'm also happy because now I have four days off work! Weekend + one day because of Mid summer (juhannus) + one day because of request :)))

Summer and working

Now it has been two weeks summer holiday. I have been working in a nearby garden these two weeks five days a week and (at least at the moment) it looks like I will be working there whole summer. It is hard work and I wake up 5 o'clock every working day but it is also very nice. The working place, my bosses and my work mates are all nice :) Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have to go to work I could just stay at home sleeping and relaxing because it is summer but after all I'm very happy I got this job. Otherwise I wouldn't have the money for my exchange year! I could imagine doing a lot more crappier job to get money because after all most of the time working I kind of enjoy what I'm doing... I may say something different about my feelings at the end of the summer :D
  But because I wake up so early I have evenings off and I can do what I want to (if I have the energy for it :D ), and I also have the weekends off, so I have been doing a lot of nice things too in this summer like hanging out with my friends. Next weekend is mid summer (juhannus) so I have three days off (from Friday to Sunday). I will go to the coast where my grand parents have a cottage with my family and relatives. I hope the weather will be nice and I get some good photos I can post in here! I'm looking forward to that :))
  At the same time I am arranging things for my exchange - there's a lot of bureaucracy, things what need to be done so I can leave. You can see how the days are disappearing in the counter! Time goes fast and I will be in Russia very shortly. Before that I will be enjoying this summer in Finland, working but also relaxing with my family and friends, waiting for any news about my placement or family in Russia. I am almost in desperation already. I have waited for so long that I can't wait anymore but there's nothing else I can do and it drives me crazy! I hope I get some news very soon :)
  Sadly I have no pictures about this summer but maybe I can post some old pics about summer in the cottage in Finland ;)
