New beginnings

So...  Now for this moment.  It's 2016 can you believe it? It's been more than a year since I came home from my exchange program.  Even tho in my last post I wrote about how badly my thesis was coming on, I did it.  I graduated last May and it's AWESOME.  Since that I've been teaching a lot. I mean, a lot.

At the moment I'm the head coach to one gymnastic group and teach ballet / technique / strength / what ever to three other groups in the same club.  I coach a dance group of former gymnasts.  I teach Limón based technique to one group and ballet to adults.  In January (today it's January 22nd) I've already taught five gymnastics choreographies and tomorrow I'm going to one more town to teach one more,  It's been great but also kinda tuff.  I was counting that in all of January I'll probably have at least seven different employers. Which, I guess, means that in a lot of ways I'm in the exactly same situation than a year ago, except for one huge relief.  I don't have a thesis to worry about! In just three weeks and a day I'll turn 25! I'm a bit excited actually :D

This blog used to be about me leaving Finland for dance, and I believe I now have a good reason to start posting again.  I have a very strong feeling about getting away from here, rather sooner than later.  I'm applying to Danshögskolan in Stockholm (if only I get all the paperwork done during next week!) and also looking at a lot of other possibilities. I'm feeling quite anxious about my situation right now, since altho I really like my job, I don't feel like it's taking me where I want to get.

During this and last week I've been writing so many job applications, looking for summer jobs and also checking a bunch of possibilities to dance/work/live in London.  I have at least for now let go of my dream of doing the Limón PSP, and am more focused on my possibilities in Europe. I'm applying for grants, saving, saving and saving to make it all possible.

If in a year I'm in this same situation, I will not be satisfied. As the title says, I'm definitely hoping for and working towards new beginnings.
