Mother's Day

First of all, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers - your "job" may be the most important in the world, don't forget that :-) And that's why you're more than allowed to enjoy this day, this is only for you!

According to the Internet, the water is around +17 degrees, and yes, I went there and it WAS warm!

For me, this day hasn't been special in any way. I thought I would spend all the weekend on the beach, and yes, I was there yesterday, but as I - surprise surprise - managed to get my nose sunburned (it hurts!), I didn't go there today because I seriously couldn't expose my face (mainly nose) to the sun anymore.. So now I'm just waiting for the lovely moment when my skin starts to peel off from my nose.. f*ck. So today, just cleaning and school work for me (at least that was the intention, now that I think about it I feel like I haven't got anything done).

the temperature was over +30 degrees. No wonder why the beach was filled with people!

I also saw CLOUDS when I left. Haven't seen them in a while.

A few facts have hit me quite hard lately. The first one is that there are two weeks of actual school left. Yay for that, but also booooo for that because it means that there are many tasks and projects to be finished. Stress! After these two weeks, it's time for exams (I already feel the anxiety and the whole new level of stress coming).

Another fact is that UEFA EURO 2012 is getting closer, day by day (26 days left)! I've already spotted some fan stuff in the stores, such as Spanish flags, caps, horns, scarfs, bags.. I haven't yet decided which items I will buy ;-) Luckily I'll have almost all of my exams before the opening kick off so then I can fully concentrate on the matches! Unfortunately I'm not staying here long enough to witness the victory of Spain, but I'm sure I can celebrate it in Finland too :-)

The third fact is that my return to Finland is also getting closer, day by day. I don't know what to think about it. Okay, I can't even tell you how much I wait to see all the people I'm missing so much, but at the same time I'm distressed because I don't feel that I'm ready to leave quite yet. Am I gonna be ready in five weeks? I don't know, but then it's time to go. Ready or not. That's confusing.. Five weeks?

sunburned

As some of you may know already, I got quite badly sunburned a few days ago as we were on the beach. Yes, I used sun lotion, but apparently I didn't put it everywhere carefully. I think I haven't burned myself this bad ever before, but at least I will definitely be more careful in the future. My thighs, back and neck are the worst parts (they hurt without even touching), but also ankles, stomach and cheeks are bright red. And one of my ears too?! It's painful to move and sleeping is not easy. But it's totally my own fault so I shouldn't complain. Stupid me! I try to put on a lot of lotions and creams to make this better and I guess it has already helped a bit. This weekend I have to avoid the sunshine so that I won't make it worse (well, now it's cloudy anyway - which is not usual in Valencia?). I am going to recover before going to Malaga, even if I had to stay inside all next week..! And may I say, only 10 days left!!

Next week, the Easter week, we have only three days of school as the university is closed on Thursday and Friday. The week after that is totally free - Easter holidays. And also the Monday after that is free. Even though I have only three days of school next week, I still have quite a lot to do - French voice-recording for Monday, marketing mid-term test on Tuesday and I should also study Spanish economy stuff for Wednesday as I'm so in trouble there. Blaah, I feel lazy just thinking about those. I haven't planned anything special for today so I guess I should get those things started today.

Have a nice weekend!
