LULLABY FOR A REALIST

Today is a special day as this post is my very first here on Arctic Vanilla. So, let’s start with the basics. My name is Anna, and I’m living here in Helsinki. I’m a medical student and I’ve been studying medicine for six years now. Here in Finland medical school actually lasts six years, which means my graduation is approaching soon and I’m gonna be a proper adult in just a few months (I doubt the latter, though). So exciting! My blog isn’t about medicine, however. I created Arctic Vanilla to escape the world of science every once in a while and to enjoy all the wonderful prettier things in life. This escapism is my way to bring out the aesthete in me. I’m pretty sure you have an aesthete in you, too, and perhaps that’s the reason you found your way here. I’d love to get to know you too, so feel free to leave a comment!

Kirjoitan juuri Arctic Vanilla -blogini ensimmäistä postausta, ja juuri siksi tää päivä on mulle aivan erityinen. Siltä varalta, että haluat tietää enemmän tytöstä Arctic Vanillan taustalla, aloitan kertomalla muutamia faktoja minusta. Nimeni on Anna, ja olen Helsingissä asuva, mutta Turussa lääketiedettä kuudetta vuotta opiskeleva nuori nainen. Näillä näkymin lääketieteen lisensiaatin tutkinto on kasassa kolmen kuukauden kuluttua, ja loppukeväästä onkin tiedossa ihania juhlallisuuksia valmistumiseen liittyen. Lääkäriys on luonnollisesti keskeinen osa minua, kuitenkaan tässä blogissa kyse ei ole lääketieteestä. Loin tämän blogin saadakseni vastapainoa tiukalle opiskelulle ja vaativalle työlleni, ja voidakseni täysillä nauttia arjen kauneimmista asioista. Kiitos  kun eksyit blogiini. Olisi mukavaa, jos jättäisit kommentin, sillä niin opin jotain myös sinusta!

Hei fra Norge! My name is Eiliyah and I'm an 18 year old girl from Norway. I saw a comment you posted on the norwegian blogger Anette's blog (Nettenestea) and got interested, so I clicked in here :D Now I've been scrolling through all your blogposts, and this was the final, or should I say first. The reason I got interested was because you've been studying medicine and now, you're a doctor! But at the same time you have a blog. Since childhood, I've had a dream of becoming a doctor one day, that would mean everything to me, because there's nothing I want more than to help others. That's why I want to ask you a few questions, and I would really appreciate if you could answer. When did you decide to become a doctor? Has it been very tough? I'm trying my best at school, but math is just not my thing... It seems like my brain won't accept it or something, but on the other hand I'm very good at languages culture, science and that stuff (not that good in physics either..) Do you think this will cause me problems later? I'm just really afraid that I won't be able to do it, to become a doctor, but there's no way I'm giving up! It's great to find some inspiration on your blog :)

    Hey Eiliyah, so nice that you've found your way here! I'm so flattered you took the time to scroll through all the posts, that's just wonderful. I know what I'm going to say is such a cliché, but I think that you should believe in your dreams, no matter what may come. I decided I wanted to become a doctor after studying economics for three years, but it was an option I considered already during my last year in high school. The toughest part was to get into medschool, definitely, as in Finland they require subjects such as physics and chemistry in the entrance exam. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with the Norwegian system, but in Finland we didn't apply physics in our studies that much after being admitted as a student. I think you should definitely try to achieve your goal. Even though it takes a lot of work, as well as long nights studying, it will all be worth it in the end! Thank you for your love sweetie, and let me know how it goes! ♥

Ahhh I'm so happy you replied to my comment, it means a lot to me! Thank you <3 I have my last year of high school left, but I'm so unsure of what to do after that. Like I told you, I want to get into medschool, the problem is that I don't have the best grades at the moment and therefore it'll be very difficult to get in right after I'm finished with high school. There's also this desire in my heart, I want to travel a little, explore new places and people.. Hopefully I'll find out what to do, and yes, I'll try my BEST to accomplish my dream and goal! :)

    Hey Eiliyah, and you're welcome! It was really nice to read your comment, and also to be of any help. Good luck with your final year in high school! While contemplating on what to do after school, remember to enjoy the present also! ♥

SEASON SHIFT
Me otettiin perjantaina pieni varaslähtö viikonloppuun, kun starttasimme auton jo hyvissä ajoin puolenpäivän jälkeen kohti länsirannikkoa. Ennen varsinaisen roadtripin alkua olin napannut taksin M:n työpaikalle, josta sitten pääsimme jatkamaan matkaa yhdessä kohti määränpäätämme. On Friday, we took a head start for the weekend as we began our roadtrip towards the West Coast already at noon. In the forenoon, I had taken a cab to M's workplace and, from there, we then continued our travels together. Äidinäitini ja enoni perhe asuvat Etelä-Pohjanmaalla. Olimme saaneet heiltä kihlauksen kunniaksi sisustuslahjakortin, joten saavuttuamme perill ...

NOTHING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE WITH YOU BY MY SIDE
Svartå Manor as the location of our wedding photos Tässä viimesimmässä hääpostauksessa jäätiin siihen, miten me M:n kanssa tultiin ulos kirkosta ja saatiin oliivipuun lehtien sade niskaamme. Vihkimisen jälkeen meidän oli aika siirtyä kuvailemaan potretteja, kun taas muu juhlaväki jatkoi cocktail-tilaisuuteen herkuttelemaan. Hääkuvia varten Mustion linnan alue tarjosi ihan loistavat puitteet, eikä meidän onneksi tarvinnut matkata sen pidemmälle kuvia varten. Linnan alue on kuitenkin sen verran laaja, että oltiin aikataulun optimoimiseksi rekrytty mun isoveli kuskailemaan meitä ja Petra-kuvaajaa lokaatiosta toiseen. In this latest wedding pos ...

WEDDING VIBES THROUGH MY iPHONE LENS
1. Meillä on nyt niin kesällä kuin alkaneena syksynäkin ollut useammat toinen toistaan ihanammat häät. Viimeksi viikko sitten saatiin olla mukana viettämässä meille molemmille erittäin rakkaan M:n siskon hääjuhlaa Porvoossa. Lauantaina valmistautuminen alkoi täällä Helsingin päässä meikillä ennen kuin hyppäsin autoon kohti juhlakaupunkia. During this summer and the beginning of this fall, we've had so many lovely weddings I even can't keep up anymore. It was exactly one week ago, when we got to be a part of the wedding celebration of M's sister who is actually very dear to both of us. On Saturday, my preparation started with a makeup sessio ...
