After Christmas

Christmas was nice. I shopped with mom and helped with the food and cleaned the house. Last days in Tampere I saw some friends also. But it was a relief to come home. Though the kitties and Tarmo came a day after me, I enjoyed to be back home. If I had to live with parents again, I couldn't do it. A week is already enough. It's not that they do anything wrong or nothing like that. It just is like that.

And after being a day alone here I realized how nice it is to have our kitties. It is so nice that they come and purr and keep a bit noise. I felt alone but not when the kitties are home.
I came home on Tuesday night and on Wednesday I went shopping. I spent (too much) some money but I found few really nice shirts and a skirt. I also went to bank to get my new card (finally) and got my new passport. And fixed my shoe. Or the shoemaker did.
I've long dreamed to renew my closet. I have bought the last five years most of my clothes from the fleamarket and it surely looks like it. But it's going to change! Muaha!
I'm going to sell some of my clothes I don't wear next month when our university arranges a fleamarket. I've been there before. I hope to get some money from there so I could buy more clothes. Not rationale but I dream to do so.

I got my studying loan yesterday. It felt awful to get the loan but I had to do so. Otherwise I wouldn't afford to go to exhange.

Oh I've been too lazy or I'm just too slow reader. Still 900 pages to go. But I've read already 400. And two weeks time. I doubt that I don't have the time to read all the pages. But if I don't, I don't. I won't panic about it. I hope.

We rented a place where we'll spend our New Year's Eve. We'll do some spring rolls and sing singstars. And I have one bottle of white wine.

But I have to go to do something. Something. Just nothing.

Before christmas

I passed all the courses I had this year! Yeah!
And I've lost my mind with this exhange thing. ISEP was supposed to inform yesterday in which universities one can apply but there is still nothing! And today I finally got logged in in the TOEFL pages. I've been trying it for two weeks but their pages haven't been working quite right. But I confirmed myself that I really have that exam next month and finally watched the introduction video (I tried to look it yesterday but it didn't work). So now I just have to hope that the pages will accept my login information. Even though I wrote everything right, the pages said I had wrong password or name.

I'll go tomorrow to Tampere and will be there for one week. "On vacation". I have to read a bit there too. I started to read yesterday and have read already almost 150 pages. Luckily some of the issues are already familiar to me (basic cellbiology) so I know it already. So I don't need to read that like a new thing.

Tomorrow I'll do some laundry and clean this place and read a bit. And I have to go to bank and to get my passport images and maybe do the passport application. I already got Tuula and Elina to write me a reference.

Boys are playing some multiplayer game and I can hear everything they say. Boys are always boys. Swearing and laughing and when I got some glögi to Tarmo, he had to inform all the others I brought it to him. Muaha. Funny.

I had a dream last night that I was on my way to the airport. I had forgotten my biology dictionary home and felt bad about it. But I had remembered to take the neurobiology book (which isn't mine really).

The kitties are cute. Pollo slept an hour on my lap. The also played near me when I was reading and almost behaved. They always come to sit on my books and notes and try to play with my pens.

Oh I forgot. I was supposed to et my packbag. Well, maybe I'll get it now or tomorrow. I have time now so...

My thoughts aren't clear and I can't think anything so I'll go and get my bag.

Empty

I've done nothing. I started to read a bit but promised myself that if I do nothing (that is play sims2) I must take the books to Tampere. So I'll start to read tomorrow.
So I've been playing Sims2. Tarmo got me most of the expansion packs. It has been nice.

Yesterday night I made that my article though. Or finished it. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Tomorrow is the ISEP meeting.

My head is empty and I'm tired. Kitties woke us up at 8 am.

Sick

Great. I'm sick. My troath is sore, I sneeze all the time and I feel numb.
But I did wash our floors today, I even cleaned our oven. Now I'm, waiting Tarmo so we could take our carpets out.
I called today to the DHL to ask where my computer is. It turned out that they hadn't given me a number for that. They asked me to call the Acer. So I did and they said DHL would give the number. But he also said that my computer is now ready and is waiting DHL to pick it up. I should get it this week. Nice.

But now I'm in the mood of playing. But The Sims 2 doesn't work on Tarmo's computer (we don't know why).

And if I'm sick, I won't go to the gym. Which is not nice, but I don't want to risk that I would come even more sick. Maybe tomorrow or on Thursday then.

But I still try to install the Sims2 on Tarmos computer. He said I should try again. Lovely man. Luckily he can play one game on that laptop so I can steal his computer. Muaha!

Bored

I've done all my exams for this year. At least I hope so.
I already got the first exams book for next year and it's 1300 pages! So I really need to read on christmas holidays too.
And I'm bored. I was home at noon and I had already been in exam, talking to Tuula, visited a library and went to buy some food. I keep constantly forgetting that it's Monday, not Sunday. I still need to remember that for few hours since I'm going to gym and the Desperate Houseviwes comes today! Tarmo's computer crashed again so as we had no internet I read some exhange information and watched some Friends. Now I'm not in the mood of reading anythin further. I'd like to play but my computer is somewhere else! I should call them tomorrow and ask when I'll get it back. And the TOEFL tests aren't working on this computer. And I'm bored.
I thought I might wash our floors tomorrow. And wipe the dusts. But that'll take only the morning.
I should go to the police station to get new passport for myself. But I thought I might do it on the same trip I'm going to get my Master Card. And they haven't sent me yet any notes of it. Did I already mentioned that I'm bored?
Maybe I'll think up something before it gets 7 pm. Then I'll go to the gym. Hey! I promised myself that I'd go to gym this week everyday since I have time! Oh that sounds good.
But I'm bored now.

Lazy day

Oh it was fun yesterday. The wine was bad but it was ok. I mean it was ok to me that I didn't got drunk. I had nice time, I helped with the food and drinking, played a bit and got to know new people. Well new and new, I've "seen" all of them in the irc, but not irl. We came home at one am. Food was nice (though not as good as mom-made).
The kitties woke us up at eight. We watched some mythbusters and did nothing. After Tarmos computer crashed I cleaned the toilet and did some rearrangements to his chilis. The kitties have learned to jump on them so we had to move them to the shelves. Tarmo might do some aquarium to the veggies if he can and when he has time. But that's all we did today. Expect took naps.

The TOEFL hadn't been gone right so I had to register there again. This time I did it in internet. I don't get it why we were told to call there. It went easier this way and it doesn't cost anything. But it really doesn't mind me so much. I proved myself that I can speak English understandable. I also registered to all the universities I'm going to try to apply. The Kilroys pages aren't working so I couldn't look what the flight to USA would cost. I've already looked some flights but my aunt said it cost too mutch so I'll look it again. Or would've looked. Or maybe I'll do it now.

Muaha our kitties are so stupid! I put some cacti there where the chilis used to be. They just dropped one of them and ate it! And we thought that if they sting their nose to it they'll leave all the veggies alone! Funny. But maybe we have to put even the cacti somewhere else.

The clock is a lot! But I'm not tired. Maybe I should try to look the flights again. I'll have to read tomorrow. I'll have (hopefully) my last exam on Monday. I don't have any motivation anymore. Luckily the vacation starts soon. Though I'll do an bookexam right when the schools start again, but I'll take some days just to myself and do the christmas cleaning here.

TOEFL

I called today to Netherlands! I told TArmo to listen music so he couldn't hear me. I was so ashamed to speak english. But it went well and now I have an exam on January.
This day was awful. I had two tests, I hope and believe (if I dare to say so) I'll pass both of them, though I will not get good grades on swedish. But the point is to pass it so I can get it to my language studies. After the tests I went to listen a seminar and started to feel bad there, since I had eaten only an apple and few candy after my breakfast (I got up at six am.). And after that I went to talk to Tuula since I won't go to university tomorrow. She still hasn't done the corrections to my articel, but it's only good since I don't have any motivation to do anything right now.
I got home after four pm. and checked email. There was a mail from international servicec that I should register me NOW to TOEFL and call to Netherlands. I first thought I should call there tomorrow but then I got a new email which said that there is really open times for the tests on March or April and that would be too late, so I should check if I could do some other tests and I couldn't find any and got fustrated.
So I made some sandwiches, ate and tried again. I encouraged myself and called to the TOEFL center. A nice phonebill will come but now I have done it. I just corrected some mistakes of my information on their webpages, because I had to spell all names and streets etc to him. But I got the test day to January and that's good. I don't have to worry about that (well I do, but not in that way that I wouldn't get the test). So I'll travel to Helsinki on that day. And the test costs 116€! And I had to loan Tarmos credit card (which is his mothers actually) and I felt bad about it since his mother called to him and didn't sound very pleased, but was ok when Tarmo explained the situation. I ofcourse paid it back already.

We'll have a "little christmas" tomorrow. I have no idea if that phrase had any real meaning. Wer'll make the salad to there (we got the ingredients today). And we'll go to bank on morning to get Tarmo's real credit card (before they gave the wrong one to him), get some pants and a new bag for him. And some wine for the night.
We baked A LOT of cookies yesterday. Well, the others baked, I ate too much cake and didn't feel so good. And then we sang some karaoke. It was fun.
But I think I'm too tired now. My brains haven't been working sonce 2 pm. And I bet the man in the TOEFL Center noticed that. It took some time to me to get what he ment by a star. I misheard it and didn't have any idea what he ment. But I finally got it and we laughed about it. He was really nice. And my English wasn't so bad.

But I really need to sleep now.

YEAH!

I got there! I GOT THERE!!!! I'm going to USA next fall!!!! Amazing! I'm so excited! Goodbye concentration to reading to the last exams! (I'll have two next thursday and I haven't even started) I'm so EXCITED! YEAH!

We just had a nice girls evening, we ate a lot and talked more. It was fun. We watched Riikkas photos from Toronto and I got this feeling that Me wanna too! And now I can go there! YEAH!

I was really tired and planned to go to sleep but then I read my emails and now I'm not so tired anymore. I called immediately to mom and she said I must be drunk when I just screamed to phone. But I'm not, I'm excited! YEAH!

I have to go to surf on Kansas University's webpages and then go to sleep. I have to read tomorrow. We'll bake some cookies too, since it's our independece day tomorrow. YEAH!

Oh, I almost forgot, we were at the vet today. It went fine. The kitties got vaccinated and we planned that the kitties will get the another vaccination next year in the beginning of February and they will be castrated also then. We'll save about 40 euros becouse we get all that on same clinic payment. But no I'll go to surf! YEAH!
