How I Spend My Days in Quarantine


During these hard times, I like to stay home as we all should and spend time with myself. I have found myself relaxing from the busy schedule we had and to focusing more on myself and what I wanted to do. So, I started focusing on who I am. What I wanted to do. I must say that it isn’t easy to stay locked inside all the time but I do invest my time in going out for a walk in the forest or to the lake. That makes things better and somewhat easier. It gives me time to think.
A typical day for me would be to wake up around 9-10 and start my day. I have found myself making healthier breakfast options. So, I tend to have a nice breakfast until maybe 11 since I watch some videos while eating. It depends. Later on, if I don’t have stuff like laundry to do, I like to go back and make my bed and think about what to do next. Usually, I take some pills I need to take, have my cup of tea and bottle of water ready by this time. I first like to put on my headphones and really focus on music and new genders. I love music and I am extremely dedicated to music, so I try to start my day like that. I think it’s one of the greatest ways to start your day.
Another thing I do is, start doing my schoolwork. It is not a holiday so we are still catching up with school or any meetings we might have. It is fun to do that and just keeping in touch with friends. By this time, it might get boring but thanks to the media, I just hang out on YouTube or Netflix. Along this, I get calls from my parents and family members. I like to have some healthy but light snacks while I am working so I usually skip lunch and have a fruit or yogurt. I try to drink as much as water and tea as I can to keep hydrated.
Around dinner time, I make some food and I’m ready to watch something on Netflix. It is nice to just relax, be calm, and not worry about anything since you have the whole day to yourself to work on stuff and sort things out. Although I must say that it is hard because during quarantine, you kind of loose track of time. So, night becomes morning and you can’t sleep or morning becomes night. That’s the hardest part. Also, even if you are out for a walk, you sort of get paranoid over the whole epidemic.
After dinner and doing a bit of more work, I like to call my parents as we do like a family gathering and sometimes even have group chats with other relatives. It is quite fun and we talk about our days. After that, I like to work on any left stuff or if I don’t have any, I like to enjoy myself with music as I dance around.
That’s my quarantine routine!

Edward T. Hall’s Cultural Iceberg Model

Image
One of the things I was very much interested in when I came to Finland was the culture. As we all know and as I have written about in my previous posts, culture differs from people to people. I find culture as a very important impact in my life and growing up, I have always been through many different cultures. I must say that I do have many different influences on me caused by these cultures. For me, a culture is a new person, a different character. So, this made me take in interest in Edward Hall’s Iceberg Model. In this model, we can see that many cultures have many important opinions about different topics. For example, some cultures have religion, some have people, and some have animals. It all differs and makes every culture unique in its own way. Along this, Edward Hall really pointed out how we have a surface culture and a deep culture. These all differ very much from people to people. I find it very interesting and think that it is a good way to reflect who we are to o...

Salmiakki Ice Cream

Let’s talk about something I really love in general: Ice Cream. Now, I must say that summer has officially come (not to Finland in this case since it was basically raining and snowing a couple of days ago) but, summer is out there. And here we are still wearing coats. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have ice cream! Ice cream is life. One of the best things about summer is, you can have ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can even make your own ice cream or popsicles. I remember making these lovely strawberry popsicles last summer, they were healthy too! Overall, everyone loves a bit of ice cream. Coming to ice cream flavours, I am a great bitter chocolate, normal chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and another ice cream type they have fan. As long as it is ice cream, I have no problem gobbling it down. But…Salmiakki ice cream? We need to talk. First of all, as we had tried Salmiakki which you can check out from the video up there! It wasn’t the sweetest f...

Finnish Is Hard!

Today, I wanted to write about something I have not written in a long time but wanted to write about. Let’s talk about the Finnish language! The first thing I would like to state out is, as knowing English for many years myself, it is very easy for me to be able to predict what other languages mean and to figure out their sentences or words to their meanings. As you understand a language more, you realize that you start to understand other languages too…well that changed now but still.This year, like every other year, my goal was to learn something new which can be information wise or starting something new but this year, I learnt one very major thing : Finnish cannot be predicted. You can’t make out any words or sentences in Finnish. In fact, you can’t even remember the words you learnt in Finnish after a couple of minutes! Why is it so hard? What I have seen is the fact that Finnish has words in words which means, there are separate words, than if you want to say something that ...
