I'm pretty much only writing these journal posts for myself. It's like keeping a diary or something and I don't really expect many people to read these.
In any case, my summer is over now. I got to say that I've found something new about myself and how I think about the world around me. A week after my school ended I just thought to myself: "Fuck it, I got no job or anything I have to do - I might as well start doing some physical exercise and not just sit on my arse the whole summer". I started to go out to jog almost daily and I'm still at it. Well I got to say that I haven't achieved much in that matter, only my legs are a wee bit stronger for sure.
What I discovered was the world around me. Every day just going outside and seeing what it is there made me think about things... What it means to be a finn for me? What I want from my life? I thought over my entire lifespan. What has gone and what is still to come. I've found a lot of new about myself.
This summer has gone in a blink of an eye. Weird because I haven't done anything that special. Saw some friends every now and then or just played Warhammer Online. Didn't get that comic done I talked about before the summer started or got the webpages up for my graduation comic. My summer has a deadline and it's pretty safe to say it's pretty much over now. Next monday I am to go perform my civic duties as every finnish male has to serve in the army for at least 6 months after they've turned 18. I'm a spineless wank, so I am performing that as civilian services so I don't have to go there. Instead I'll be locked up a year as a graphical designer in a culture house in Kannelmäki. Could prove useful as a working experience.
In the end I'll leave myself a video that sums it pretty well how I currently feel
[link]Until next time I want to write to myself.
Matias.
