Everything Is Possible

If you are following me on Instagram and Twitter you would know that our life will about to change in the following days. Last monday I received a letter from the employment office saying that they had scheduled me for the finnish language course this fall. The course will start on October 1. Both husband and I were surprised because at first we were told that the course will start on January or February next year. To be completely honest we are not prepared about this. To be given less than two weeks to prepare was hard. We haven’t found daycare for Rianna yet. And we are not even sure if we can find any as all daycare centers were already fully booked. We’ve tried to find few months ago. I wrote the administration via email and told her about my thoughts and concern. She told me “everything is possible”. She was right there’s always a solution and there’s always possible ways.

So my husband started calling anyone he knew and asked about daycare. The city recommended one. The one we already checked a few months ago. But they were also fully booked, but eventually agreed to add Rianna to their list. We were happy but then realized the distance how far it is from our home and the cost. Something we just cannot do. So we tried another one again… And the city daycare accepted us, thankfully! The costs is half and the distance from the house is short. It’s along the way and easier for me to pick her up from school.

And that was it. We checked the daycare earlier today and found it the best place for our child. Rianna loves the place. She sat down and played right after we got there. And when we’re about to leave she cried and doesn’t want to leave. We found the best daycare for her. We only bring Rianna there when her dad has work. About 10 times a month. Hubby works every other week, so when he’s not working he’s home and watch Rianna.

As to regards about my course, it’s a Finnish Language Course (Suomen Kieli). All foreigners are required to take this course to learn the language. I have been waiting for this chance and now it’s finally here. The school is located at Porvoo, neighboring city. Quite far but it’s fine. I will go there by bus everyday as I don’t drive. This is going to be hard at first but I know I will get used to it somehow. I am so positive about this and praying that everything will be fine.

I am a little bit nervous. You know going back to school after ten years. I finished my degree in 2004, and imagine I’m back to school ten years later in different country and different time and purpose. Imagine that? Well, this is just the beginning as I am hoping to take another course after this and hopefully find a nice job someday. Finally working for our future.

“This is going to be Rianna’s new playground. I know she’ll be fine here. And I know she will enjoy along with other kids. She’s going to have fun while learning.
