Right so little update how I'm doing right now, so beware "some" rambling ahead

Almost all the "ground" work for my thesis is done, meaning I don't have to go to work pretty much at all (about once a week). This is a good thing as I can concentrate to writing the thing down at home.
But but, I've been trying to write it for a month now and all I have managed is some 10-15 pages :X . I can admit that I'm not the hardest worker when it comes to something I'm doing for myself (like it this case I worked like hell to get to ground work for the company done :D ). Still I've set goals and all but once I try to settle down to writing I just can't do anything or if I manage actually to do something it takes an hour just to get two words. I know pretty much everything I want to write but somehow just can't transfer it to paper :blink . Don't know if I'm afraid to graduate or something but I'm soooo angry at myself all the time for not able to do this...weird. Today I actually managed two pages and the writing felt somehow good :), so lets see

Some good news though. The energy firm that I did this energy saving project in co-operation for the firm I'm working at now (they hired me to coordinate the thing in their end but there's no possibility to continue working there after this project is finished as they have no use for me after this) invited me to visit their office for a kind of job interview. The man from them I'm working with said that he's very satisfied how I've handled the project at our end and wants me to visit them and see the other people there (or more like they want to see me) but nothing is guaranteed and they'll have to see if they need a new employee there...but it seems there's some hope for me to get a job there after I graduate :D .

That's all this time

I'm finally done with my exams...*drumfill* ...as I just yesterday found out that I have passed the final exam I had left :D :joy . The graduation seems to be just round the corner, now I just have that master's thesis to write :look

Last Saturday we went to see a play done by deaf people. Now it was quite interesting to be in a surrounding where almost no one speaks but uses the sign language instead (most of the audience was deaf too). The play itself was translated so I could understand that. But the subject was quite dramatic as it told the story how deaf people were treated in schools from 1950-1970 until they got their rights. I can't believe how bad it was. They were forced to learn to speak and not allowed to use sign language. And the teaching was done quite harshly by hitting them and using such other methods. Fortunately things are a lot better for them these days :) and sign language is recognized as their own language and services are provided for them using it.
And as to why we went to see the play is that Mervi has educated herself in sign language and of course is interested in such things. Anyways it was quite interesting experience anyways

Tomorrow we'll be going to see The Sleeping Beauty ballet...I'm quite excited to see it actually. Mervi will be turning 30 tomorrow :look :P and it'll be her birthday present. I would rather have taken her to see the Phantom of the Opera, as she loves that, but the only place in Europe it's showing is in Hungary and we can't afford to go there right now. I did consider it for a while though :lol . Maybe some other time ;)

Well firstly I've now been about month into my thesis and atm everything is going according to plan...I finished the first task last friday and I have now two weeks to write some chapters to my thesis. That's not a necessity but I will at least try.

Secondly have to mention here that I finally got bonded with Aidie in TV :joy ...didn't take more than 4 months it to be done :look ...well to be exact I've been unbonded much longer :p . Can't really say how happy I am :D

Third thing is that I have a video of me scoring a goal in our recent game. We did okay in last tournament even though we lost the first game...anyways here it is (i'm the #50 btw :p )

We've got these little things in our care until Sunday



These two little rascals are my sisters cats. They're about 6 months old and boy they can keep you busy :lol . I've had these two days after Christmas off from work and they've really kept me company during that time. They're constantly up to something no good or fighting each other and as they're so young they're always ready for playing :)

So we spent our Christmas at my wifes parents and it was pretty nice. Got good presents and all (mostly books which is fine :D) though Mervi forgot to take her present for me :lol. Now more interesting thing is that Mervi got two shirts from her grandma. The interesting thing about this is that the other was exactly her size and the other 3 sizes too big :look . Now, we wondered this for a while until Mervi's mom told us that her grandma could be hinting about something :lol ...I don't mind though. It was quite funny actually. We've gotten used to these things as there have been some direct wonderings about these things :p

Anyways we had to travel back so late on the 26th that we couldn't make it to the dinner my grandpa invited us to :( ...my parents and my aunt and her family were there too so it would have been nice to meet them too.

We've got a car, a Volvo S40, now which Mervi's parents gave us. They're getting a new car so they thought to give to old one to us. We don't own it yet for tax reasons but still. It isn't that fancy or anything but it'll take us from A to B. We got it during the Christmas and drove it back in a horrible weather. Fortunately everything went well but at times even I was scared to drive.

Yes as the title says...Finland is now 90 years old :D

Well the weather is absolutely miserable here now. I predicted in a recent TV PM that we wouldn't have snow very long...well I wasn't that wrong but we still have it though. But it's all slushy now and I had to cycle to the city center (about 3km) in this weather. The whole process was good exercise for balance as it was almost impossible to drive straight as the wheels seem to be going everywhere besides where I wanted them to go. And to add up to the good feeling it was raining too :X  and my raingear failed me a little. Though I shouldn't expect much from anything that cheap but it has served me well until now, of course
So right now I'm wet and quite cold...I refuse to go out again until the weather is better :tug

That makes just 55/100 ...it seems I have some watching to do

1) Grab the nearest book.
2) Open the book to page 123.
3) Find the fifth sentence.
4) Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5) Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet. Just pick up whatever is closest.

Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby

But the snobs that go hang around with their guys - they're the ones that we need the last.
Exactly.
The worst thing that I could do for football in this case would be to deny or explain or beg for forgiveness for my university backround; Arsenal just came along long before Cambridge and has stayed in the picture long after my studies and I think three university years has nothing to do with that.
Even so, after I arrived to Jesus College it became clear to me that I wasn't alone: there were tens of boys like me, from Nottingham and Newcastle and Essex, that had gone to public school and had been accepted with open arms to university to mild down the elitist reputation they had; and we all played football and supported a team, and in just few days found each other and everything was just as it had been in the first grade of middle school, just without the player sticker albums.


I had to translate this from finnish so I have to apologize for the bad english...but then again that's nothing new to anyone :P

Once again I have to say that nothing (well almost nothing else :P ) beats the feeling when you win a tight game in floorball. And we did that two times today!!!!! And we're at the top of our group half way through the season. Hopefully we can do as well on the second half :D

And I will try to update this bit more often from now on :P

Now, I've listened the whole new album through three times....ADN IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT :D :D :D . Can't get enough of it and probably will spend the next week just listening to it. That's all :p

And oh, I had to steal this meme thingie from Rehtae's journal
And well, I absolutely loathe those damn Hummer and H2 car thingies :ROFL, otherwise a fantasy library doesn't sound bad and I do watch too much sports :P
