Midsummer Day, Graduations and ... just life

I have been too lazy again to write about the latest events in my totally average life ;) but I have a good excuse.. I left my reading glasses at my friends place and without them I can't concentrate on reading or writing very long time.. it's a shame actually because I just planned to start to read a book in spite of watching TV in the evenings.. TV is a necessary and an useful object in our lives.. it helps to be the citizen of the world and be among the people we hardly know about.. but it has its very bad side, in fact.. addiction.. I am sure that it is not worth to mention any longer cos we all have felt it and fallen into it..

anyway.. this isn't what I actually wanted to talk about..

the end of June there is a special day with old traditions.. Midsummer Day.. now I feel a little ashamed because I' m not really the one who could tell about the origin of that day.. but u all can looked it up from the Internet, right (another addiction which has overpowered our minds.. damn it..) .. anyway (I seem to be addicted to this word) .. as I assumed I had a really great Midsummer Day.. I spent it by the see.. very nice place.. very beautiful.. can't say that I spent my Midsummer Day with all of my friends but most of these people I had seen before and it felt the right place to spend my Midsummer Day this year.. and it was.. I am not going to tell all the details, but the keywords are: a lots of laugh, beer, some games, barbecue, tents, fire, up till 5 am, sleeping-in-the-wrong-tent, next-morning-cold-water-swim, the sun etc. :D just like one real Midsummer Day should be :)

Before Midsummer Day there were three important events for our family. My mom, my twin brother Sander and eldest sister Kai graduated. (actually my sister's graduation was after Midsummer Day, same day with my mom's birthday, but let it be..) My mom got master's degree and my brother and sister bachelor's degree. I am very proud of them :) They all did very well, especially mom, she got cum laude. Wow :P What else can I say. I can't wait to graduate myself :D but with going to Maastricht I have postponed it to the future. Hopefully in two years I will have my diploma as well :)

so.. what else has happened.. can't come up with smth special.. life has been ordinary and oddly surprising. My brother had to go to the army this year. He felt a bit frustrated cos he just got his good shape back to start to compete again (he is doing middle long distance running), but that's life and I'm sure that he will come back with a good experience. He had called couple of times and said it's not so bad :) Hopefully he can come to our sister's wedding on 18th of August so that I could see him before I leave to Holland. It is a little weird to be without him. He is my second half, we came to this world together and I believe the reason is that we need to support each other :)

Everything else is same old-same old... I am at home.. helping my mom to do things at home, we need to go to our grandma's place every second day.. almost.. she is alone now.. without grandpa.. she can't walk well and needs help..she is really overreacting with everything which needs to be done in the garden.. sometimes it seems like there is nothing else important for her than just her garden.. but actually she doesn't want to be alone and needs a company.. there are moments when I feel like a real country girl ( just without animals :D) I have done mowing, watered grapes, painted garden furniture etc. :D my future husband can be proud cos I can handle almost everything when there is a need :D lately it has been rainy outside and I feel a little bored.. I love rain, but it makes me feel a little tired and dizzy.. not very nice feelings.. I hope that in the South-France there is very nice weather, because I need a little sun to store up energy.. anyway.. soon Kati and I are on the road :P we can't wait.. we have planned already almost everything.. just need to pack our bags and we are ready for an adventure :P
