The Magical Forest

I spent the day with my lovely friend Kaisa and it was time again for our annual forest adventure!

Oh yes, we are very active.

Last year we got lost. Which is not unsual for me as I'm known in my group of friends as the directionally challenged one. This year we were better prepared: we brought our phones. How we both managed to leave our phones home the last time is beyond me... Anyhow, this time I was able to snap a few pictures. It was almost magical.

Gumboots might have been a better idea. Oh, well... Next year!

Hey you.

My name is Lia Stumbles and this is me stumbling through life.

(Yeah, you're right.. That's not a real name. My real name is EmiLia Suhonen. Don't tell anyone!)

I've done blogging before during summer holidays and whilst au pairing in Australia but I've never really stuck to it. The idea is always heaps more tempting than the reality. I always make plans that never happen. Constantly I'm wasting energy planning stuff that I know I'm never actually going to be able to carry out. Why do I do that? Why do we?

I'm not saying we should stop. Absolutely not! Life is all about making elaborate plans and dreaming big. What we should start doing - well me at least - is to start living up to them. And this blog is all about me trying. And failing. And hopefully finally succeeding.

Let's see what I want to accomplish:

• get into Turku Uni of Applied Sciences to study nursing
• do as much of my studies abroad as possible
• successfully run this blog for a long time
• learn to cook so that it's always delicious
• get into bad-ass shape and look fabulous
• be more confident and comfortable in my body
• travel and go to Africa
• run a marathon
• obtain the power to teleport (at least between Fin and Aus)
• find my true love, have my own family and live happily ever after

This should be easy! I've already failed in my attempt to spend four hours studying for the uni entrance exam today as I started playing with the lay out of this blog... Oh, well. I'll study tomorrow, I swear! I did study for two hours today. Intensively. I'm not a complete slack.
