a cup of tea and a candle. -Reconsider about my daily life.

When did the winter start in Helsinki?

Now, it is approximately 2 degrees here , but it was much warmer few weeks ago. The city changes for Christmas, and I can see beautiful lights when I walk on the streets.

When I think about my days in Japan, I was very busy and wasted my time.

"Being busy and waste my time"

・wake up around 5am

・spend 2 hours on the train (home→university)

・arrive to the university and sleep until the class

・take some classes

・work 4-5 hours after the classes

・spend 2 hours on the train (university →home)

・ask to my mom to pick me up around midnight

This was my daily schedule before I came to Finland. At that time, I was considered to travel other countries during the long vacations, and try to do both of studying and making money. On weekends, I just slept all day because of tiredness in daily life.

This daily cycle gave me Nothing.

I didn't spent time for relaxing, and didn't enjoy anything. "Just get a average score in the class and make money." It was my life in Japan.

The University is the last place to study for me. Why did I work and did nothing special which I could do only in my student life?

Making money could make my choice much more. But I could make better life if I spent time for something else.

Drinking a cup of tea and being a new candle. Having a private time. Doing nothing and making myself relax.

Life in Finland might be a time to recuperate from busyness.
