it's a funny thing that...

Today has been the weirdest day for a long time. In fact for a while I was dreading what would happen and hoping that today would never arrive. But at the end it ended up being an amazing day.

Ok, yucky rain and a stupid presentation are not really the best ways to start a day, that I will have to admit. But then, when I thought things could only get worse I found out that in fact they just got better.

In the afternoon I went to a Finnish Christmas fair with someone I haven’t seen for a long while. Ok, the fair was pretty lame but the afternoon, then, turned into a good evening. It is funny when you sometimes need someone else to show you what you have. I think this guy knows me as well as I do, if not even better. Yet, it has been a while we have even talked – for a reason. But then again, time usually does nothing but good.

It is true that my presentation was just plain bad but something like that is easy to fix – at least for me a good mood returns with a long run, as it did again today. But then, what I had to realise was that it is funny how sometimes you need someone else to show you what you really have. I know this sounds really corny but it is true. And I suppose it is also true that I have indeed now got everything I worked for – and I worked for a long time. It doesn’t make school easier or improve my French but still, it is a nice think to realise. And besides, apparently I am prettier when I smile…so I should stick to this new realisation… I think…
