And this is Finland

This blog was about my fall in New York, the capital of dance (amongst a few other things), but after spending just over two months back home in Finland I figured, why not continue with it.  It's not like I'm not dancing anymore, all though at the moment there's way more teaching than training, more gymnastics than dance and more saving money for the next training session than spending it training.

Since, yes, I am saving to get back to New York and to really get to the point of Limón technique, I don't wanna loose my improved English now do I?  So I'm gonna write in English.  At least for now.  Next time might be a whole other thing.  If there'll be a next time.

Anyway, I'm gonna get to the point.  The point of what, right?  I'm not really sure if I got anything to write about.  Since I've been home I've been writing my thesis (a pretty sad story actually, not getting anywhere with it, at least not as fast as I should...), and doing other less gigantic school stuff as well.  I've been creating and teaching gymnastics choreographies (lier! One of them I figured out almost from bottom to top in Fort Lauderdale already) and doing some couching as well.  I've also been doing gymnastics myself after some years' break.  I've been teaching ballet and doing my share on regional training camps for gymnasts.  I've even taught school kids on math, English, Finnish, reading, writing,... It's been busy I say that much.

Ten days ago I turned 24. That day, I was teaching first and second graders (7-8-year-olds) and they were all asking how old I was and their reactions came dragging my feet on the ground for realizing some facts.  "So you're like... like a real grown-up."  Priceless.  But I guess I am, at least starting to be, at least every once in a while :D

I was hoping to get to a Limón teaching workshop in Dresden this spring, but it looks like it's not gonna happen, as isn't the Limón training workshop in California in July either... But I'll get there, someday.  Right now I'm just really tired and trying to figure out where on earth did all these things come to me?  I mean, I mean, I just worked for like five different employers in two weeks, in three totally different fields.  I'm trying to give myself a break but it's hard when there's no time for breaks.  I'm scared I'm gonna actually break myself.

So... This post was written almost a year ago, but I never posted it.  Until now.  I was actually starting to write a new post when I realized I still have this one here, waiting.  I'm gonna write a new one anyway, there's one kind of a funny thing I just realized.
