I'm so excited

I just can't hide it. (What song is that?)

I'm going with Jenni to the anniversary festivities of the Data guild on Friday.

It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait. I can't sit still. :):):):)

Perfect

I slept for 13 hours last night.

This is what I ate today:

-1 slice of tuna-blue cheese-pineapple-mushroompizza with a lot of garlic
-grilled salmon with baked potatoes and salad (which contained for example sundried tomatoes, olives and goat cheese)
-french toast with strawberry jam and ice-cream
-2 Fanipalas
-2 x piece of goat cheese, a sundried tomato and a basil leaf on a dental stick

Delicious.

Mmmkay

I'm going to Spain (Madrid or the Basque country) for the academic year of 2006-2007. Or to Limerick in Ireland. Or to Delft in the Netherlands.

Or somewhere.

Snugglepooh-neverlandparadise

I just noticed, that you can spend one semester in Madrid. So that kinda messes everything up, I guess I'll put it as my first choice. The second one is San Sebastián and the third one Gijón.

Or at least I think so. I DON'T KNOW.

Will it be what I have dreamt? What have I dreamt? Is this the right choice? Should I go there next year, and spend a whole year? It would mean that I'll graduate in 2010, unless I will do my master's thesis in 6 months or so. And graduating in 2010 means that I'll have to study according to the new curriculum, which includes a bachelor's thesis. :P

Everybody says that I should spend one year abroad. One semester is not enough, or so they say.

I wish this was some snugglepoohbambiworld, where I wouldn't have to make any hard decisions.

I will apply now, and if I don't get accepted, I'll apply again next year.

I want to go, I want to graduate before the dreaded 2010. Kaikkihetimulle!!!1111!!!11

And about Pooh, I've never seen a cartoon as cute as Lumpy, the little heffalump in Pooh's Heffalump Movie. Awwwww. No, I haven't seen the movie, but I have a picture of Lumpy on my desktop.

Free Mojtaba and Arash Day

Flowing thoughts

I want to blog something, but I don't really have anything to say. I'm tired. I kinda like this feeling, it's good to know that I won't have to roll around in my bed trying to fall asleep.

Have breakfast at Cafe Ekberg. It costs 8 €, but it's worth every cent. Coffee was really good and croissants were excellent.

I need an obsession. I don't have anything at the moment that would fill my whole life, like football once did. I guess I could try to regain that passion, after all Urheilukanava is showing La Liga on Saturdays.

Real Madrid-Athletic Bilbao 0-2, Barcelona-Real Mallorca 2-0. :P

I miss getting all excited about football. I even miss yelling at the television when my team is doing poorly. Don't even mention the sweet moments of victory. Portugal-Finland 1-4, Finland-Greece 5-1.

The last European championship -final? Portugal-Greece 0-1.

I saw mom today, we actually had a really good time.

Home sweet home :P

I'm not going to Gran Canaria after all. Mom has thrombosis (veritulppa), so flying could be fatal for her. Thankfully it's under the knee, so it's not going to move to her lungs.

I just hope that she will be okay.

Great stuff continued

Old geezers
Hugh Grant is 44, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is 42 and Brad Pitt is 41, like Johnny Depp.

Friends
Mainly you guys, but the TV show is also great.

Cheese
It is expensive, but I just can't imagine a sandwich without it.

Architecture
People say that Kallio is better than Töölö, because people are more interesting there. Well, I say that Töölö is better because the buildings are more beautiful there.

World by night
Is there anything better than just talking with someone until 5 a.m.?

Making lists
There are more airpots that I have visited, than boys that I have kissed.

Ice-cream
I don't like candy, I never buy chocolate, but I eat way too much of ice-cream. Winter is no excuse.

Breakfast
I'm going to eat a good breakfast in some cafe (Fazer of Ekberg) with Laura I. on Friday.

Comics
Donald Duck by Don Rosa, Tuukka-Nalle (published in Polyteekkari), Ilman naista and Loserz.

One more thing about food
This conversation from darkhive (darkhive = an archiving system for Demi). I have to try the Cantonese beef on message 102.

Buying plane tickets
I got my plane tickets to Portugal today. I love this feeling.

Annual festivities of the chemistry guild
I'm going there. :)

Shocking!

I've never understood why people think that Colin Firth is hot. He is some old geezer, like George Clooney. Whereas Hugh Grant is hothothot.

Well, it turns out that Firth is actually one day younger than Grant. And Clooney is one year younger than them.

So I fancy some old geezer. ;P

Still sick

I just noticed, that the lectures of Principles of Strategic Management make up 1/10 of the course evaluation. I'm still too sick to go there, and since I will be in Gran Canaria for two lectures, there will be only two lectures for me to attend. Oh fuck.

I guess I'll have to study really hard for the exam.

There is some really cute puppy playing in the garden. Awww.

Please tell me where to go next autumn. San Sebastián or Gijón? Aargh.

Random wonderful things

This list is really random, the things have only one thing in common: they give me lots of pleasure.

Black coffee
Mmm, caffeine. It tastes good and picks me up.

Cafe Esplanad
Tle loveliest cafe in Helsinki. It's also reasonably priced, and those danish buns are legendary.

Akateeminen kirjakauppa
Especially the travel section.

Opera
It's not even that expensive.

Helsinki-Vantaa
It is my favourite airport. It has all the essentials (a kiosk, tax free, some other shops, cafe) in a compact size. And without it I wold not be studying aeronautical engineering.

Walking home in cold weather and going straight to bed
I just love the feeling of warm sheets and pyjama after the cold air outside. It feels nice when my body is warming.

Foreign cities
I love exploring new towns on foot.

E.R.
Only 16 hours and 15 minutes until the new season starts!

Töölö by night
The only time when it is peaceful.

Food
This might require a whole new post.

Chocolate
I'm so fed up with it right now, but still. Especially the Belgian kind.

Airplanes
I have traumas from my childhood.

Shoes
I have 14 pairs of them, but I still need more.

Perfumes
It's nice to smell good.

Afghan hounds
My favourite dog breed.

Deli
And my favourite dog.

Sleep
Might want to do it now.

Insomnia

I can get no sleep. I still have fever, it's about 38,5 degrees centigrade now. :/

At first I was going to post some random babbling about all the wonderful things in my life, but then I wanted to sulk about all the sucky things (flu, the fact that Elmo dumped me over five weeks ago and it still feels bad), but I don't really see the point in that.

So I'll just write about my mom.

We had a conversation about my breakup with Elmo the other day. I didn't want to talk about it, but somehow she had trouble understanding that. She did mean well, but still it was annoying. Anyhow, she asked if we had had any contact. I said that we have exchanged some e-mails and phone calls about the annual festivities of Euroavia Helsinki. She replied something like "oh, were you supposed to go there?"

Well, duh, I'm the annual festivities coordinator and Elmo is the president of the club. So yes, we are going there.

That conversation just proves how little she actually knows about my life. I have always blamed her for not caring, but could the reason actually be that I never tell her anything? Our conversations are pretty monosyllabic on my side, whereas she is actually asking questions and trying to have some conversation.

I guess we just like to talk about different things. I'd rather have all my teeth removed one by one than talk openly to her about my love life. Sure I tell her if I have a boyfriend, because I think it's not fair that dad knows and she doesn't (they're divorced). But I could never tell her if I have a crush on somebody, or tell every juicy detail of how I met somebody, and so on. Neither do I see the point of telling her what I did yesterday or what I am doing right now. It's probably nothing really interesting anyway.

I don't know what to do. Probably nothing. We are going to Canary Islands next week, maybe the trip will bring us closer.

Of course I love her, she's my mother, after all. She just drives me crazy sometimes.

Sick

I hava a flu, about 37,5 C fever.

So I missed Gravitaatio again, I just didn't have the energy to go there.

Deaf

(Is that how you spell kuuro?)

My left ear is blocked. It just started to hurt again. Now I'll just have to drag myself to a pharmacy to buy some medicine (thanks to Google I won't have to go to doctor's). I was too late yesterday, the pharmacy in Otaniemi was already closed. Is there a pharmacy in Leppävaara?

I so miss my previous home, which was next to a pharmacy that is open 24/7. :P

Gravitaatio (a huge party in Dipoli) is today. I'm not that big a fan of the huge parties in Dipoli. Too much crowd and the building is really confusing. I've no idea why am I going there, probably because you kinda have to go there and it's nice to see Zen Cafe.

And I'll miss the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler propose to each other. I've never seen it. Hmph.

It feels like I'm in an airplane that is landing. I'll have to have my ear fixed before I fly to Gran Canaria.

It feels like spring. I'm wearing a turquoise t-shirt and listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers, which always reminds me of spring.

No more chocolate

I threw a housewarming party for my high school friends on Friday. For some reason almost everybody brought some chocolate. So I've mostly eaten left-over chocolate this weekend, and I think I will throw up if I have to eat even one more bite of chocolate.

Weird, I've never had this feeling with chocolate, no matter how much I've eaten it.

The cruise to Stockholm was fun. I drank too much, but at least I didn't throw up, pass out or lose my memory, like last time. I found a great evening gown from Stockholm, I just can't wait to wear it. Well, right now it looks like the annual festivities of Euroavia Helsinki will be on 28th of May.

Some guy on the cruise stated that I would get a better boyfriend than Laura, because I'm more spesific (in Finland we have this thing called pilkunnussinta). WTF? What is a good boyfriend, anyway? It means different things to different people. He didn't have any sort of explanation.

Talking about boyfriends, I still kinda miss Elmo. :P

Right now my first choice for a place to study abroad is San Sebastián (Universidad de Deusto), the second in Gijón (Universidad de Oviedo) and the third is probably Delft (in the Netherlands, thay have a huge departement of aeronautical engineering). I'm not completely sure about where I'd rather go, Gijón or San Sebastián. They both lay on the northern coast of Spain, Gijón is in Asturias and San Sebastián in País Vasco.

Oh my god, is it raining outside?

Yay!!!!

I passed maths!!!! Oh my god, I did it!

Thankfully the first question was so easy, that I could have solved it in high school (imaginary numbers)...

FUCK

HOAS just offered an apartement for Laura and I. In Otaniemi.

Oh great. Why couldn't they offer it a month before????
