It’s the start of November and I’m still somewhere here...
Well... as you may figure, I have neglected my blog yet again... I have had so many moments during the past months where I think: „Oh, I want to write about this in my blog.“ For some reasons though I didn't do so. Hmm... I think I still want to write about some of them (as much as I can remember), so I could reach the present time here too. Shortly, but with the main points that made me want to write about them.
Well... first of all there was a song festival here in Estonia, where 100 000 singers came together (most of them were of course from Estonia, but there where foreign estonians from all over the world, like Canada and Australia, and people from other countries too: like USA, Lithuania, etc.). The first days concert was good, but the parade before that was exhilarating... You should have seen that – the crowd cheering for the singers and dancers moving towards the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds, the flags all over the place and people singing and just being happy for the celebrations. 





Though the first concert wasn’t such a great one, the one on the second day was absolutely great (though I would have liked to hear some songs that weren’t in the programme too). It was great to listen the songs and sing with the ones I knew before (although it wasn’t as great as singing with the choirs under the arch, where I was 5 years ago), be a part of the waves, that started under the arch with singers and ended in the end of the rows of people, and be inside the sea of blue-black-white flags, that surrounded us. The mood of the song festival stayed for days and thinking about it made me always have a smile on my face. J
Then there was the confusion with the specialty what to study in university... Everyone always asked where and what I would study and when I told them I had faculty of Mathematics and Computer Sciences in mind (that I thought about earlier already) and gave opinions what specialty I should pick and what to avoid... It got to me in time and made me think: „Give me a break and let me choose by myself.“ Though I must say some of the things they said were quite useful. I needed a long time before I gave my vote to informatics (or was it called computer science)... Well it gained some more votes and won... so something was for once decided and I had peace in mind at last...
After the decision for university was made there came other things to worry about... Like where will I live (my home is near Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, but univerity is in Tartu... what a surprise that its name is the University of Tartu
)... I decided I would rent a place with my classmate from highschool and so it went... At first there was a huge mess because of it: she didn’t like one thing about the place I liked and I didn’t like some things about the place she liked. Later she convinced me to live in a terraced house with herself, her brother and two of her brothers friends... Well now I live there and the life seems quite ok... we get along though we don’t talk much (at least not with those two friends). I’ll see how it works out... Hope it will go well.
So what else... Oh, yeah... I moved to Tartu. (Certainly there where more things I wanted to write about, but now I just don’t remember them well enough
) So here I came on September 25... I was the only one in the house where the electricty was in only few rooms (not mine, we had some problems with it). It was quite unnerving I must say... especially at night, when I went to bed and heared every little squek in the house and the sound of someone running around (later I found out our neighbours have kids
) . Then, on the next day, came the brother who after some time (on 27th) fixed the problem with electricity somehow (Yay!
). Few days later came his sister and then my father and a day later my mother. Oh, the drama... We changed the wallpaper in my room and dad thought it would go quickly - one day and ready. Well as you may quess it didn't go as planned: we needed to take the old one down, go buy some more glue, etc., mom had to bring more wallpaper (not enough before)... for all that my dad got wind up, mom was upset because of him and I was angry at him for it (and for all the things I had found out about him during the summer) and sad as well... but well we got past it and I love how my room looks like now.
Next week my first semester as a first-year university student started.
At first we (me and my highschool classmate) were on really high heals (I'm not used to them... I prefer sneakers and such
) but since we got really tired of them, we took them off and walked around barefooted... it felt so good after those heals. During the first few weeks I made some friends and acquaintances... we had some get-togethers to get acquainted with others from our course and other fun activities, like orienteering with tasks in the points, get-togethers with foreign students, with whom we played some national dance games and just had a good time.
Even though I really like it here, there are times when I feel lonely in the midst of others... For instance we had some guests (mostly from our highschool bridge club, where I used to be for some time too) here to play board games. I played a little with them, but I couldn't... I don't know, connect? with them well and I just felt so lonely, so after the game, when everyone just drifted away from the table, I went to my room hoping I would be better there... it was a bit at first but hearing them laugh and have fun even to my room I felt lonely and miserable once again (why were they having so much fun now, but when I was there it had been so quiet...). Well anyway it's how I am.
Padau... I think I'll continue later, I'm almost at the present now 
Anyway wish me luck with my studies... ![]()
