My Internet Sabbatical

sea

This post is 3 months overdue. This break came naturally as my internet access became limited and I decided to just get on with everything else going on in my life instead of getting frustrated at the slow internet connection or a complete lack of signal.

Then I waited a bit more with writing a new post, because I simply did not know where to start. My last one was about me preparing to take part in a half-marathon. Since then I ran the half-marathon and completed a full marathon (my first ever!) a month later. And I didn’t report any of this here.

That’s why it was harder to come back to writing, because I thought I would have to recall what had happened weeks ago before I could write anything else. So this blog became like a drawer you know you have to clean up to put your new stuff in it. But you simply don’t want to be bothered with organizing your old stuff, so it puts you off from being excited about your new stuff. And you’re stuck.

Being stuck is more frustrating and exhausting than cleaning a thousand of forgotten drawers. So I’ve decided to just get on with it and write new posts, organizing the old stuff as I go.

Who Is Ola?

It’s probably one of the hardest things for me to talk about - what I’m all about! It was easier a few years ago when I was in college and if someone asked me what I did I could just say, “I major in so and so” (I graduated in History and in Russian Studies, if you’re curious - for more details, please read my biography) and people would nod and leave satisfied.Today, it’s not that simple. I’m not in traditional employment and I have just started my entrepreneurial journey, so my reply is not straightforward. I’m in a transition period when I’m not confident enough to say “I am a …”, but that’s the goal. I’m into many different things at the moment, so identifying myself with one particular word is quite difficult.

Instead of labelling myself as ’so and so’, I will tell you what I do and what my priorities are for the upcoming months:
