Breaking news, everybody!
I´m pleased as punch to announce that I got a job!! I got a fucking JOB!!!
Still can´t believe it myself but just signed a contract for six months in the same place where I got my työelämänvalmennus (second part of my job training). That´s done with on March 13th, the next day I will become a regular duunari (worker).

This means a lot to me for many reasons.
Needless to say that I get way more money for exactly the same work I´ve done before in that company. Needless to say that life gets so much easier when you don´t have to watch every penny anymore. I don´t have to deal with the mothership KELA anymore. I don´t have to sit up and beg at the employment office for foreigners anymore. But most important:

This means a huge leap forward in my integration process. It feels like a real achievement.

At this point I´d like to emphasize how well the Finnish integration system works if you use what´s being offered and give your best. That´s what I did and at the very least I can say that the system worked for me. I went to the language courses, I took part in the job training and after they didn´t / couldn´t give me a job in the first place, I went there again for a second job training. Spoke my retarded Finnish everyday and everyday it got less retarded. Tried everyday to prove myself as a good worker and easy-going workmate.
And it worked out!

Six months don´t sound much and of course I´m still not able to plan my life-in-hel far ahead but I can´t tell you how happy I am for this new development! I was told that there´s hope my contract will be renewed. Let´s see, I´m not gonna worry about this now.
All what counts at the moment is:
I got a fucking job!
