I know it's been ages, I've just been too "busy" meaning that I've been too lazy... I have done some work for my thesis, of course. But not too much yet... I'm still not in the mood for writing, so I'll just tell shortly what's going on.
I've done one essay for one course to get the points and done things to get my courses from Iowa to my degree. And on Thursday we went to a bar with Tarmo to have some drinks with couple of professors from our university, that was fun!
We also visited Kuopio again to see Tarmo's possible future boss. Though it was really weird from the beginning. First in the morning Tarmo wrote an e-mail to him asking when could they meet and he answered that he's there the same day. Tarmo replied and said what time we'll be there (we went by train) and asked where should he go. He just replied that give me a call. We had to leave soon after that and he never told where to go. So on our way to Kuopio Tarmo tried to call him but he didn't answer. When we arrived to Kuopio, still no answer. We thought that we need to eat something quickly if Tarmo needs to be soon somewhere else. But again, even though Tarmo called every half an hour to him, he never answered. Tarmo even tried to check his e-mail with my phone but it didn't work out. We started looking the center of Kuopio, browsing in the shops. Finally around three he callet to Tarmo, said an address and didn't even answer when Tarmo asked the name of the company. So at four they met (I was with Kaisa) and in five minutes it was over. He didn't even take Tarmo inside but talked with him outside! He didn't remember where Tarmo was from (he graduated from the same university and Tarmo had said that before) and his answer was "we don't take graduated people"!!! WHAT?? And Tarmo very clearly said that he's graduating and his reply was "we always need physichist".
I said to Tarmo that good that he didn't take Tarmo, he seems to be way too weird to be a good boss. But it still pisses me off, this all could've been figured out by e-mail, it cost us some money to go to Kuopio all for nothing, and it cost us a work day AND we didn't even have time to go to taekwondo since it was already too late when we got back home. So stupid...
So, this weekend we've just relaxed, cleaned the house, played with kitties etc etc. Feels good to do nothing, for a change. Though I need to do some work for the thesis to get my results done, I've finished Matherials and Methods, almost done with Results, and started to read articles for the introduction and to do some research... So I'm not in panic and my thesis has already some pages done...
But that's how things are here. No deeper analysis about my daily life. :P

Baby is (are) Back
So, I'm back in here.
I've gotten myself in order, no more waking up at 2 am, no rash and I have been doing few things for my future too! Life in Finland is easy. I don't feel weird, I love being back home. We got our babies back yesterday too and I love the feeling when someone comes and wipes his/hers tail against my leg ^^ Though they've grown up so much!
I'm having tomorrow my welcome back party, my friends arranget everything and it feels so weird because I don't know what's been planned and what should I do...
But as I'm not in the mood for writing much today, I'll just briefly tell what's going on.
I'm writing an essay for one course I couldn't do before but which I need to do for my degree. After that's done I'll return for my results and try to make some kind of picture of my work in my head and after that I'll start writing. I also should go to nurse to get last of my hepatite vaccination done, get my courses from Iowa in my degree and send some flights to insurance company. My first course is beginning only next month so I have some time to do all these little things though I've planned to get my Introduction mostly done by the time the course begins. Luckily it's only two weeks and labs, after that I'll return to writing and I should get my thesis done as soon as possible, as I need to do two book exams after that (one is exam about the literature I used and one is THE final examination in cell biology). I'll have my other course on April-May I think and I hope that by that time my thesis would be quite ready as I'm having the seminar course and I need to give a representation of my work by then. And after that I should find a place to do a short internship so that I could get all the needed courses for my degree and then I'd be kind of ready!
And the reason for horrying things up is that I'm moving to Kuopio with Tarmo next Summer!!! I GOT THE PLACE! I mean in the research group and I'll start as soon as I'm done in here. I'm quite happy ^^ They promised that there would be a place for me for the next 4-5 years!
And as Tarmo is graduating too, there's no problem moving away. And he has his things almost in order too...
But as I finally updated my stuff in here, I can go sleeping soon...
Oh how I love having our kitties back!!!
