Ireland and other trips

I spent the last week in Ireland. It was a really nice vacation though for some people the idea of cooking, cleaning and looking after a baby for a week doesn't sound like a vacation. But the mother of the baby is my sister and I'm the godmother and I actually do like cooking. And cleaning is sometimes also therapeutic. So I spent a week not thinking about work at all so that makes it a good holiday. There was even a fun party on the last day so what else could one ask for...? - The bnd to visit? - Well he was there for the weekend. :) Next time I go to Ireland, though, I want to go a road trip somewhere or maybe a nature trail and such. It's time to see the country a little more again with the bnd of course.

It was weird on the plane there as there were these elderly women seated next to me going to Ireland and Dublin as tourists and I was like just going to see my sister. I think a while back, every time I was on a plane I was also going to like some new place or such but now it seems I'm always going to the same places and never on vacation (which is not true since I have gone on loads of vacations in the past year). It might also be that I'm getting so used to flying that I just don't have that excitement of the unexplored that most people usually have when on a plane. I'm just like "here we go again". People reading tour books right next to me when I'm just going to see family or on work business is just sort of funny. It's sort of like is someone was reading a tour book of Tampere on a train there.

Work has started out good enough after the vacation. Right now I'm just writing here since I have a small headache and don't want to start anything new before heading home. So I'm just having tea at my desk.

I might go to Germany for the whole spring for like six months. It's not certain yet but it's looking possible. I'm sort of excited about going since I'll get to do interesting research but I'm also afraid I'll have to do some growing up again. And then there is my lovely apartment that I don't want to leave and the best boyfriend in the whole world that I want to see daily and not like once a month for one weekend. But if it all works out so that I can go, I'll go. It might be one of those chances of a lifetime that I keep stumbling into. So you might be hearing loads more on the matter in a months time at the latest. I have been stationary for like a year and a half so it seems it's time to go.
