In anticipation...

I have been sitting in front of the computer for almost an hour waiting for the website to be updated. My middle daughter gets to know where she'll go to school for the next three years. I sort of influenced her to choose a school with half Finnish, half English teaching. None of her best friend applied to the school and now she is horrified that she might be accepted to the school and she would have to say bye-bye to the girls with who she has gone to school for six years ...
My eldest daughter was in an interview for a position as an exchange student yesterday. Her favorite location would be New Zealand - as far as you can get from Finland. She told me that the interview did not go too well, but I really don't know how it went since she always exaggerates. Well, we went to sushi together to calm her. It was lovely. In addition, she will start in the upper secondary school next year - we hope that she can stay at her present school.
I am in a look-out for new job. I already was in an interview a couple of weeks ago - it would be a research-oriented job, but mostly about rearranging and organizing work practices, and later on, working on methodological development. In two weeks I'll have another interview lined up at the university, coordinating and organizing the international partnerships. I am going to apply two other positions, first as a head teacher for service business, another as a post-doc researcher in a research group. Writing applications is actually really time-consuming. No wonder I haven't have time for continuing my old research :-).
Only my husband and our youngest daughter do not face major changes in the near future. Having said that, my husband would actually like to change jobs, after all he has been with the present employer for over 14 years!
I'm still stearing at the website - the info did not appear at 9 am as it was supposed to. Arg!
