Little bits of this and that
This week I have applied for the extension of my residence permit. It took me about a month of procrastination, trying to push that moment further away and about 3 days of panic. I think I have bureaucracyphobia. I was standing in the Immigration Police office, waiting for my turn, having my heart beating in my throat, looking at people of all possible races and colours around me and thinking how goddamn open-minded people who work there should be. I'd die.
This weekend it's Juhannus (Midsummer) and most of the population of Helsinki left for their summer cottages or wherever. I feel like leaving the city for a day or two as well, but not yet, maybe in two weeks. We went for a long windy walk to Seurasaari today and watched some 'traditional Finnish dances' for a short while only to be surprised how much they ressemble that of Russians, even the music sounds the same. After our feet got really tired and we have discussed all of the misfortunes of our personal lives and planned all possible plans of conquering the world of Finnish metal scene, we got on the tram and went to Katajanokka. It was even more windy and cold. We walked at the seaside for a while and once again, for 1874637534th time I thought to myself that some day! some day I will live in a very beautiful old house with the seaview.
It takes about 10-15 minutes to get to my place by bus from the centre or about 20 minutes by tram. But I like trams the most, they give me time and inspiration to wander off in my thoughts, looking blankly at the roofs of the houses passing by or some random people. Because of the holiday, there are very few people on the streets these days. While I was on a tram on the way home, I saw a company of 3 people walking down the street. One of them was kind of a cute guy, he was the closest to the road and I looked at him, without even fully realising it as I was thinking god knows what. And he caught my glance and almost stopped walking as the tram passed by. I laughed at that and got back to thinking about everything and nothing.
