Graduation last week, what can I say. Worth the wait, everything went great, I was happy. Even the weather was perfect which rarely happens here in Finland and made the day even more special. I really couldn't get any sleep the night before, I was too excited to even close my eyes for a moment - and yet I was all awake already an hour before I had to get up.
The official graduation part itself went all good, I didn't end up falling or making a fool of myself as I'd been afraid of. I even got a freaking diploma for getting such high scores at Swedish marticulation exam - yeah, I know, I definitely wasn't the only one being all "WHAT"?! I guess I hadn't done that badly at school after all.
After the official part - or whatever you want to call it - we rushed to the place that our personal party for family and close friends was held at. The Casino was at the perfect spot on the coast, close to where we used to live at and my parents had had their wedding dinner at the very same place 20 years back - so it was kinda natural for us to end up renting that specific restaurant. And the choice couldn't have been better. 60 or so guests, some of whom I hadn't seen in years, everybody had a great time and enjoyed the day for sure.

Later on, after all that all day long lasting well-behaving, I was craving for a party - so we met up with some friends at a park, had a few drinks at Bar Colorado and ended up going to Redrum and partying till the dawn - a prefect end for the day. The feeling I had was indescribable, even strangers came to me on the streets to congratulate me for wearing the hat and finishing school. Made me feel unbelievably happy about everything. Thank you so much to all of you who were involved in any way that day, it really meant a lot to me.
Now that I officially have the white graduation hat on my head, it's finally starting to get to me that I'm really done with all the responsibilities for now. For just as long as I wish, I'll be able to do whatever I want with my life. That also means that the day I'll leave to travel around the world is drawing closer - less than two months to go! Wow. But before starting the final countdown, though, there will be whole a lot of things for me to do, including enjoying my summer in Finland - and being wonderfully carefree for once in my life. No worries, no stress, just the sweet taste of freedom, starting with ProvinssiRock festival next thursday. To put it simply, life is pretty damn awesome.
