a week before the tutkinnon tilaisuus, we were grouped into 3 and Stina assigned areas within the school ground, for us to work on. i was Maria and Mika. we checked our area, got to know the plants and weeds that grow there, then we planned what to do and what machines and equipment we were going to use in our work. we also visited to the school's greenhouse and chose the plants that we wanted to plant in one big pot in front of one building.
the first day of the tuti went well. the sun was shinning and we just worked as we normally would. there weren't too many questions from the teachers. we were satisfied and tired at the end of the day. i guess, that's how you know that you did a good job. we had a short meeting before leaving school.
second and last day of tuti. the school's gardener asked us to plant some daffodils. it was our last task as a whole group. i suddenly felt saddened by the thought that i'm not gonna see my classmates everyday.

okay. before i get sentimental, the last day of tuti is the actual test day. first came Kirsi and Leeni. i was working on one flower bed and they came and asked me about the plants and weeds that grow there, fertilizers, soil ph, bugs and how to treat them and so on. i wasn't able to answer their questions because it was so hard to say them in finnish when i was under pressure. so when they finally allowed me to explain in english, i felt so relieved!
next came Stina. she asked me to take a walk with her around the school yard. then she started to point at trees and bushes and asked about their finnish and scientific names. OMG!!! IDying plants is like torture to me! but in this case, i answered 90% of Stina's questions.
the next day, we had our assessment. after a long day at the UK visa center, i took the bus to school to meet my teachers. it was heart-warming to get such positive comments from them. i felt like crying when i was listening to what they had to say about me.
now that the tuti is over, i feel like 50% of my school burden has been unloaded from my shoulders. the first 9 months at school were not easy, especially when i'm still struggling with the language. i want to thank all my classmates who have been very supportive to me all throughout my journey at school. they translated things to me when i was in doubt, helped me in conquering my fear in driving tractors and just being there for me like real friends do.
now, as i start with my work practice, i will be facing new struggles but i know that i will also find new friends and of course, new and more knowledge about the world of greens. 🌱
