CAMPEONES!



Aaaaaand the best team won!! Gooooo SPAIN! they are the first ones who have won the EURO tournament two times in a row, without even mentioning the fact that they also won the World Cup between these two EURO tournaments, so, I guess there's no doubt which country is the dominating football country nowadays. Champions!! It just feels weird that the matches are now over. I waited for the tournament for so long and now it's over. Now I just have to start waiting for the World Cup (2014). But all I can say now;
¡VIVA ESPAÑA!


Fernando Torres & his kids = cutest thing ever!

 What else what else. On Monday, nothing special. On Tuesday, shopping with J! I needed straight black pants for work and after all I found two of them and also new jeans.. And I was supposed to save some money...... I have to work my ass off so that I can compensate at least some of my shoppings.

Today was my first day at work after half a year. I got a job offer on Monday and I accepted it, it covers at least next two weeks, and if everything goes well and everyone is happy, I may continue working there also after that. This kind of long-term working period in a same place wasn't what I supposed when I applied for a job in a "labor renting company" because they usually offer just some individual shifts in different places (=their customer companies to whom they "deliver workers") when extra labor is needed. But better for me, of course I prefer this situation! Today and Saturday are my training days so that I would learn all the basic things I need to know; next week I'm gonna work 5 days; the week after that I will have 6 working days... That's a lot! But I liked the place, it's a cafeteria in a shopping center and I'm working there as a cafeteria waitress. There are many products offered; different coffees, teas, cold drinks, smoothies, alcohol products, sandwiches, paninis, foccaccias, pies, salads, cakes, croissants + other bakery goods, ice creams, ... I don't even know the whole selection yet. The distance from my home is not too bad and the other workers seemed nice. So I got a positive impression, but this was just the first day.

The negative thing is that I'm not in a good condition and the job is quite physical as I have to stand all the time and carry quite heavy trays of dishes, so my back hurts now! I also had to wake up at 5.30 this morning (I didn't sleep much because I kept on waking up as I was stressed whether I wake up on time or not) so I was quite exhausted after the shift. But now I can relax these two days before my next shifts. And I can't complain, I got a job very quickly (wouldn't have believed) and the field is just what I was hoping for. And somehow I like working again! Just a few days before I got this job offer I asked J what I'm gonna do these two months before I start studying again - and now I have my answer. Of course I want to relax too and enjoy the summer, and that's why I hope the weeks after the next two weeks won't be this full. I also want to have some free time. For example, we bought tickets to Oulu with J yesterday (we are going there at the beginning of August) so at least then I'm gonna be off from work for 5 days. And we also have a few other plans, in addition to the fact that I still want to go to the countryside!

And btw, yesterday I started to write about my apartment that I got back last Friday. I've got almost everything now organized here and I also took a few pictures. But when I started writing I realized that I can't get the pictures to my computer because the camera-computer cable is at J's. So I will write about it later then, with pictures.

But now I'm exhausted (it's 1.40am, why am I still here?!). Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be beautiful so we try to make up something nice to do with J. We have to enjoy these (rare) sunny&warm days as we finally have at least a few of them here in Finland. So, good night, enjoy your summer days!

to prove my words...

...everything really looks better now, after the rain! As I've already told you, last Tuesday was the first proper rainy day that I've experienced in Valencia. Since then it has been beautiful again. As you can see.




I actually got my Valenbisi-card today, so from this day forward, I can get quickly around by bike! = to the beach!!

we went to have some coffee with Emmi :-) the terrace and the sunshine, not bad at all!


Beautiful Valencia!
