Big decision - Moving to Finland after 13 years abroad

May 28, 2009 20:21

I have been going into debt more and more lately. I have been contemplating on getting a sugar daddy, but then I realized that I could just leech of my REAL daddy...

So I applied to a couple of universities in Tampere as a kind of a joke. Well I got accepted straight away without an interview or an entrance exam or anything to Tampere University of Technology to study Materials Science. So I will continue my nerding for another three years, as it is an honours engineering course!

My parents have a flat where I can live in ALL BY MYSELF, rent-free, in Pispala, Tampere. I lived there for a summer in 2004 and it is a lovely little flat. The pussies will have the sauna as their very own room as I will not be using it :P

There are a few problems. A) I will be living in FINLAND. Enough said.

B) My living arrangements until October. I have just ended my lease so I will be moving out of my flat in Angel by the June. My lovely flat in Pispala is not free of its current tenant until October. (In Finland you can’t just evict people on a month’s notice. You have to give them 6 months’ notice, depending on the contract!) So in the mean time I will be living here:




Yes. Not in my parents’ big house with 8 rooms and a large garden. Let’s just say X marks the spot. I will be living in the FUCKING GARAGE.

The reason being the cats. I will of course be bringing my babies with me to Finland. Neither of my parents is allergic. My dog Ruffe likes cats. The worst thing he ever did to a cat was growl at my cousin’s one when it attacked Ruffe’s wagging tail. He even let my neighbour’s cat in Italy try to have sex with him! (They had a gay inter-species love affair)

But no, my mum is convinced that the cats will “disturb Ruffe” and therefore me and the cats are banished to live in the garage for three months. I will be like a looser in American movies, living out of my parents’ garage. Only, this one isn’t connected by a door from the inside so I will have to crawl through the electric door when I want to go into the house to use the toilet etc.

merliina offered me the use of her family’s caravan that is currently sitting idle at their summer vacation home. My parents point black turned it down because “it will make the neighbourhood look like a travellers’ camp”. And me crawling out of the garage every morning won’t look dodgy at all?

My dad has been kind enough to allow the cats “supervised visits to the house”. Seriously, my parents are nuts. I could easily just contain Thirteen and Lillian in two adjoining rooms at one end of the house, Ruffe would never even know they are there, him being deaf and a bit senile!

But no, I will be living in the garage until the tenant moves from the Pispala flat. I will very likely become an alcoholic and the cats will escape or die from mouse overdose. Yay, welcome to Finland!
