Midä
Some days it's just not happening. The language. Or the mouth. Or maybe the brain. The words just won't come out. Some days Russian just isn't happening. It's like I have no mouth. There's nothing to open, no speech apparatus. Mute. The lips are made of lead. They just don't open.
And it's frustrating. So frustrating! It's tiring. So tiring!
And other days, it just flows, and I'm not sure whether I ever spoke another language! Well, that's not actually true.. Not that well. But better at least! And I'm not even sure what's going on those other days. It's like I just can't bring myself to speak. And those who know me, can imagine the pains it would cause me to not be able to talk.
On a more cheerful note! I'm currently really excited about going to Rovaniemi next weekend, and then two weeks later I will be starting my (rail)road trip through Finland to my favourite Haparanda and onwards to the ever glorious city of Skellitta.
Things I'm enjoying at the moment:
- We're getting closer to Christmas
- We're getting closer to Christmas
- Snow and temperatures below zero
- Finnish language
- Skellefteå municipality has found funding for their summercamps (this is something that is greatly needed for many kids!)
Things I'm not enjoying at the moment:
- My year abroad project
