Last week I moved to Tampere, to finish my Master's Thesis and graduate by next summer. Unfortunately I have no nice photos of this new home of mine, because I spent there merely 48 hours before I had to leave to another city for another person's housewarming party and now I am off to Dublin.
Yep, that escalated quickly.
I suddenly had a great opportunity to go on a mini vacation to the capital of Ireland, and who could say no to that? It doesn't even cause any inconveniences because none of my courses at the university start before 8th of September.
Dublin is filled with things a literature student is dying to see. It is, after all, the UNESCO city of literature. Oh, all those bookshops! The vacation is the length of a weekend, so I can not possibly see and experience all the things I would like to. There will be some drastic decisions to make in only two days.

Among other things, I doubt I have time to visit this beautiful Dublin Castle. I would love to go to a couple of goth clothes selling shops but I am not really sure what to buy from there. I have been in jobs and situations where the dress code has prevented most of goth elements from outfits and I feel like my style and wardrobe are an odd mix & match with not many things matching. Also, many of my favorite clothes have become so worn that they are no longer feeling nice. Many of my skirts are from 2006, so they are nearly a decade old!
Mary Bart from Mourning Glory Designs made a post about
clearing one's wardrobe and I really should do that too. I also should take the next step lead by Mary and make
a list of the essentials I have worn and what I actually would like to wear.
Here is a tiny peek of my new apartment, or the view from it and some moving boxes. I shall post about my new home in Tampere later when I have actually made it decent-looking. Now I'll just say that it is a subleased apartment and it is situated on the main street of the city, really close to the railway station, the university, and the bus station. I am a sucker for theme parties so I am already pondering, what would my housewarming party's theme be. Any suggestions, my friends? :D
Oj, det är full fart i ditt liv! Lycka till med flytten!
ReplyDeleteTack! ^_^
DeleteDublin is a beautiful city! I have to admit I never found any alternative shops there, but the castle is great and the Irish National Museum had some awesome clothes and jewelry! The garden beside Dublin castle is great as well, don't miss it! And if you plan to visit several sights, check out if the Heritage card is worth the price for you. When I was there, it was just a little more than the castle entry and I was able to visit a bunch of stuff for free afterwards!
ReplyDeleteFor your home warming party I'd go with a voodoo theme. Just because I'd love to see pcitures of it!
Thank you for the tips! :) And the suggestion, voodoo would be a nice theme. I probably have two parties, since the apartment is so small that I cannot possibly have all friends from all circles there. ^_^
DeleteOooh! Exciting times. Can't wait to read what theme you've chosen, and about all your new adventures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. ^^* I am feeling a little overwhelmed with all the things.
DeleteOh how exciting to go on a Dublin trip! I would like to go there one day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will! You are such a literary person I could easily imagine you strolling the streets of Dublin and writing in a cafe or a pub. ^_^
DeleteI've always wanted to go! I hear it's lovely. And I love Irish accents. I can listen to them talk all day
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the accent too, since I've never heard it live. Only in TV-shows. ^^
DeleteÅh, gratulerer med et nytt hjem!
ReplyDelete//Re: Tusen takk for hyggelige ord! <3
Looking forwards to a book post :-)
