"Life´s giving me lemons!"
Too much horror, anxiety and fear. Trying to beat my mood with last year´s favourite songs and some good TV..

Mis amigos cariños de Tampere
My girls from Tampere came to celebrate my birthday (which was in september)!
And they came with delicious presents!
The perfect night!
And now I´m off to Tampere! First break from Vaasa in SUCH a while! Won´t be back soon.. I need to take time to sort everything out with the exchange.

Una fin de semana muy maravilloso!
Dumle muffins with whipped cream
Paguette with goat cheese and pesto
Sake from Japan
Pefect ending for a super stressful week! We celebrated Severi´s birthday with amazing food, wine, and globe fish sake (!).. Severi had brought it from Japan and he basically wasted it last night since all of us hated it!
Next saturday my girls from Tampere come for a visit <3 And starting on sunday, I´ll get to spend a week in Tampere since it´ll be an autumn holiday!

Severi´s b-day!
As if we haven´t been going out enough...
Tonight we´ll have a good reason!
Today I´ve been fighting with an airline on the phone after they informed me that they have cancelled the flights from barcelona to madrid... So I ended up changing the airline..Now it´ll be Helsinki-Madrid instead of Tampere-Madrid and costs a bit more.
Just waiting what happens next...

Trying to escape the storm!
Tough day at tritonia! After yesterday´s Rock the disco and ´Get rich or die trying´ party, we managed to stay in the library for a couple of hours studying and watching the storm through the windows before we decided to head home and do some baking for our filmnight :P So effective!
The best part!
A recipe that Iina found when browsing Kinuskikissa´s blog
http://www.kinuskikissa.fi/minttusuklaamuffinssit-ja-talven-viimeiset-lumihiutaleet/
So that we wouldn´t eat just chocolate and sweets..
Now we are off to watch a horror movie...perfect for this stormy night!

Chill sunday!
Finally the perfect autumn weather has arrived to Vaasa! A tried to begin my sunday with a little studying but it didn´t take too long before I gave up and left for a walk with Iina. After all...we only get a handfull of such beautifull days in Vaasa. Have to take the best of ´em!
After the walk I went to movies with Hanna and we saw the most amazing film! (I´ve been blown away by films twise this weekend.....so it´s been the perfect post surgery break!). This one was ´Eat,Pray,love´ with Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem. It was a beautiful journey in amazing landscapes (Italy,India,Bali) and it made me even more anxious about my own approaching trip! And Javier was soooo HOT!
I just cannot wait to start my own journey in Spain, France and wherever I decide to go during my exchange. No stress, no strict schedules and no requirements that need to be constantly met..
All in all...a perfect sunday!
...However I need to pay for the slacking next week. So much to study before the friday´s exam..

In pain!
Ice cream for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper!
Lovin´ the post surgery phase! Except the fact that I´m in pain... But now I have a perfectly good explanation for slacking and just watching movies. I´ll gather the strength for studying later.. We just watched an amazing film with Iina! The blind side <3

Espanto!
Yesterday was great! I did´n fall on the catwalk and the clothes were fabulous! The shoes that I wore especially!
Now I´m struggling not to buy ´em since saving for the exchange is difficult enough as it is.... After the show I was too excited not to go out so we headed to a student party..again. Thursday lectures are such a drag!
Now I´m nervous for tomorrow cause I´m getting both of my lower wisdom teeth removed. Lots of soups and ice cream in the freezer! I´m prepared to spend my weekend on the coutch with good company, ice cream and films. Jaiks..

Concentración desaparecido!!
Can´t concentrate!
I´m sitting on lectures and writing ´to do´ lists to perceive what there is yet to do... And the list is not short... Mostly there´s just errands I need to run for our student union before I can let someone else step in and take the responsibilities off my shoulders.. But moreover I need to sort out everything concerning the exchange.. but that´s just pleasant since the hustle comes with an excitement ;)
When I add the 7 exams that I need to pass this term to my schedule...I´m pretty sure I´m gonna lose my mind...or just skip a few courses and and take ´em later..
BTW...watched the movie ´reindeer spotting´ last night... And hated it. Not even the film ´Paha maa´ had made me so distressed! But still worth watching..
Now I´m off to a dress rehearsal of Marimekko´s fashion show. My friend talked me into modeling for ´em with no experience what so ever... panicking...

Domingo.
So my knee pains returned... And I decided not to spend the weekend at the Kuortane´s sports academy after all since I thought I shouldn´t waste the weekend sitting in the hotel room sulking. Instead I spent the weekend in Vaasa (again). I already thought and hoped that my knees were fine after the summer injuries. But I guess I was being too eager with training. So it´ll be level-headed training from now on... And maybe in January I can finally pack my running shoes in my suitcase and continue running in Spain. If it goes well...it´ll be stockholm marathon 2011!! (in case I´m ready to return in the spring)
And if I never run again.....climbing turned out to be...interesting
Just kidding, I won´t give up!
Now I need to start getting ready for my first exam in the administrative studies... At last a sunday when I actually manage to get something done.. Roughly translated, the course is `Management and conduct`.... Such a stride from Shakespeare´s texts and linguistic analysis e.g. Wish me luck!

No comprendo de la pregunta..
An answer that I learned today....`I don´t understand the question`.. Brilliant, given that I probably end up repeating it a lot after I move! We are not doing so great with our Spanish studies with Kaisa at the moment.. After our 4-hours-long lesson, we spent an hour and a half with our homework (several pages long) and managed to get 1 exercise done... Soooo frustrating!
Anyway... finally done with the super long and hard week. Now I have sent my applications to Spain (just a formality since I´ve already been accepted) and booked the flights (3.1)! The most stressful thing however is still ahead....Me and my roommate need to sublet our apartment since we are both moving abroad...AND I need to find an apartment where to live in Spain. To do that from Finland should be interesting to say the least..
THEN! I finally solved the crisis that I have been dealing with concerning my studies. After 2 years in the university, I decided to minor in administrative studies as well.. So I might not be a teacher in the future after all. At least now I´ll have other options as well. I just hope that I´ll (all of a sudden) manage with a very different kind of studies than what I´m used to.. But it should prepare me for my studies in Spain, since there I´ll be studying ECONOMICS!!
Hasta luego!
