Final days in Groningen

I hope you understand why it has been long since I've updated my blog, I've two words for that. Exams and goodbyes.
I was busy with exams 'till the 10th, then we've sent away each member of our group separately:'( I've been to goodbye dinners, goodbye parties, goodbye clubbing, goodbye coffee, goodbye...you name it. It sounds silly, but for some reason, thr goodbyes haven't felt that bad(meaning no floods of tears, only a couple shed ones).. I guess I feel like a period has come naturally to its' end.
Now it's time to face the new challenges back at home in the form of being a mentor again for the exchange students coming to Hanken, studies, dentist(most likely going to get braces...I'm not sure if I'm going to post a pic of that), driving school (2nd phase) etc. etc.
I know for sure that Paris will be high on the list of places I'm going to visit next. That's what we stated today with Axel, when I took him to the train station(this station is also getting very familiar through all the bye bye's) It's good that I picked him up from his place, since he had overslept, we made it well on time though. Axel had made me the most gorgeous show on Movie Maker to me(thank you!) I also got sooo cute farewell presents from Riley(she left on Tuesday) an orange raincoat with a drawing(Riely made it herself) of one of the mascots of next years Olympic Games in Beijing. Lexane gave me a string with magnets, so I can easily put up pics on my wall <3 Thank you a million!

I've also got almost all of my results from my exams, this far I've 20 ECTS, two more results to go, I think that Hanken will accept my 25 credits as well, since Business Law retake was harder than expected.
My room at the moment, looks like....a hurricane would have struck it. As a matter of fact, I got this brilliant idea yesterday to go through my things, which I did. Emptied my closet, all the shelves, threw this away etc. BUT here's where my cleaning procedure usually fails...I get distracted by something and these piles are left on my floor, whch is the case at the moment as welll...eehehhehe. Luckily enoguh, I've managed to pack around half of my things for Prague

Prague!!!!!!!Going there tomorrow, taking the bus in the evening. 12h ..but I don't care, I'm heading for the beautiful city of Prague:):):)
By the way, I've the custody of two bikes at the moment. I'll sell mine back to the shop where I bought it, but Axel's bike is another story.....he grew very fond of his bike, but how'd I say it delicately, Albert(as the name is)is not in such a good shape..crooked wheels etc. So I haven't quite figured out what to do with it, it's a beauty though..so contact me, if you have any potential buyers or ideas?!
After my trip to Prague, I'll have four more day days to spend in Groningen. 95% of the people are left, but I've scrabbed together a selection of phone numbers to people who are still left here. I guess the next update in my blog will be about Prague, I think I'm considering to keep this blog for Finland, after all, the name: la vie d'Anna, doesn't suggest that my life would be restricted to only exchange:)

Enjoy the rest of July(here it has improved from raining to cloudy)
See you(Finnish ppl) soon ! See you(other ppl) around!
