☞ About ending chapters.
Yesterday, I finally delivered my MA Thesis and I feel weird.
It’s like “aún no me cae el veinte”. I feel happy, but at the same time I cannot believe this is finally done. I still have to present it next month (unfortunately via zoom) so I still have to prepare some stuff, but it is definitely a whole other feeling as the hardest part is done. I would like to thank Gianni Rodari, one of my main inspirations in life and happy 100 years!, I wish I could have met you, but as life goes, we were just born too far apart not only geographically but also chronologically.
Apart from thanking my parents for the amazing support and love they always give me, I have to say that I owe the final delivery of my thesis to my amazing supervisor and advisor. Julia Lohman and Gero Grundmann gave me so much support and helped me link my thoughts in a great way. I do not think I could have delivered the thesis without Gero’s amazing academic writing comments. I feel lucky they were there for me. Not only them, but their two kids, Johannes and Bernard were my first workshop participants. The pandemic was making it very difficult for me to put together a group of kids in a closed space, but Julia and Gero invited me to their home and lent me their boys so they could end up co-designing with me some aspects of the tools and the workshop.
I am feeling very grateful for these last years here in Finland and for the people I have met. I have found a sort of family here and I do not think that is so easy to encounter. All the friends I began my MA with, are still here in the end of the world with me. We are fighting to stay at least a little bit more.
As unknown as it is, I am excited to see what the future brings us.
