10.10 Friday. Today my mother woke me up 7:30 and I had breakfast and ran to the 8.15 train. In Helsinki I walked around for half an hour and took photos. Then I walked to the law library and sat down. I read from 9:30 to 12:45. 13:10 I met Rolle at the National Library. We had lunch together and coffee. Rolle rushed to a lecture and I walked back to uni. I continued but now writing at the Alexandria learning centre. I printed papers for my course next week and walked to Stockmann. There I took photos of Jan very close because he didn't see me behind the camera. We went to Zara and I tried tight blue and red jeans. Thomas, Helene and Sebastian came there. From there we walked to uni cafe and had dinner, pasta bolognese for 2.60 € We discussed a lot and had fun like we had in school. Jan left and we walked out. Me and Thomas took the train. He got of in Hoplax and I continued to Jorvas. A junkie was looking for his bag in the train and asked all passengers to get up so he could look under them. At home I had a half glass of whine and Camambert. Now I am here after talking to Maria.
9.10 Thursday, yesterday I had difficulties to get to uni in Helsinki. Titus and me ran to the train. The train didn't arrive. So we walked to the bus station because Pekka called and said the train traffic is all down. At that time we saw a train approach, stop and leave. A buss arrived full and we got two seats in the back of the bus. The bus was slow and packed. In Helsinki and at uni I was 10. I read until 11:45. I walked to uni cafe and had lunch with Jan. After lunch back to the law library and more EU law to read. 4 pm I stopped and made a brief visit to Stockmann, which is a department store in Helsinki. There were some special offers. I took the same train back with mamma. An hour later Titus came home. We had dinner, Laksa. That's Asian. Then I spoke with Maria and played guitar and sang. Then sleep
8.10 Wednesday - I was home the day and studied and planned future things to do study wise and finished my job application and CV.
7.10 Tuesday - I woke up home in the South of Finland. I started writing my application.
6.10 Monday - I had an exam, family law. I woke up 8 and drank a cup of tea and some bread. The questions were ok and I'll pass. Writing and exam there was the same, so very much. I had lunch alone after discussing the questions with Make. I hurried home and cleaned the flat in thirty minutes. It was dirty after a week of no maintenance because of the reading all day long. I hurried to the station and bought a ticket to Jorvas. I sat down on the train and travelled to Jorvas. 6 hours later I was there. At home I was hungry and I had something but I forgot what that was.
5.10 Sunday - Reading at Tritonia. I had lunch with Kim in the Chinese restaurant. We shared pork and chicken. Sweets for keeping up the reading pace. I read until 9 and biked home, the day before the exam
4.10 Saturday - Reading at Tritonia, only reading. A lot of law students were reading on Saturday. It was nice, it's always better in comparison to reading alone.
3.10 Friday - Reading at Tritonia. After a day of reading I went jogging for 50 minutes.
2.10 Thursday - I read the whole day at Tritonia. In the night I watched a film "Death Wish"
1.10 Wednesday - Reading at Tritonia. Jogging in the evening for 5o minutes
30.9 Tuesday - Reading at Tritonia, very intensively.
29.9 Monday - Today feels like Tuesday, not Monday because I was reading hard already yesterday. I woke up 8 and cleaned the flat. Biked to uni. Read from 9:30 am to 8:30 pm. 100 pages of family law. I can say it's like before, except that I really want to pass my exams, so there is slightly more pressure on me right now. My pace is good so I feel confident. It's like a sports performance. At lunch I made a new friend. I met Stanley from Cameron, studying public administration here at the uni of Wasa. We had a nice talk. For instance about polygamy. I had dinner at the uni cafe again, pasta. With chicken. There is only one choice. It includes everything and is only 1,70 €. Lunch is 2,35 €. Both include food, milk and bread. Soon I am going to bike home.
28.9 Sunday - I woke up 8:30. I went to the library for 9:30. There I read from then to 8:30. 100 pages of family law again. I had a break when I walked to the Chinese restaurant, Xiao pei. There I had sweet and sour chicken. Before I was served I sat in the resturant. I felt so content even though you couldn't say my life was anything else than imperfect. I had a chat with the lady running the place. We talked a bit about Scotland. I bought a banana and sweets. It was very windy. After reading I biked back. I jogged for 50 minutes, had a sauna and had dinner. Yesterday leftovers. I went to sleep.
27.9 - Saturday - I woke up early. I packed my bag and ate a plate with poridge and apple cream. I ran to the train at 12. In Helsinki I bought a ticket for the train to Vasa. I read on the train. I left 12 home and arrived 18 in Wasa. The last train was replaced with a train so it was even slower. In Wasa I just managed to buy some food before the shops were closing, 18. I walked to my mothers flat and my old home, it was a year ago. There everything was the same. I went to sleep after eating, minced meat and pasta.
26.9 Friday - I woke up 8-9. I had breakfast. After breakfast I helped my brother building his greenhouse. We sawed strips of wood. That for 2 hours. Then I went inside to my friend, family law. My father returned from shopping. Isak, Pekka and me had lunch. Kebabs. Then I read on. Titus and Margareta returned from school and work. We had dinner and after dinner we had a sauna. I swam twice in "the hole" next to our garden, in the woods.
25.9 Thursday - On Thursday I took the 10 o'clock train to University of Helsinki in Helsinki. There I met two professors in labour law. One of them the most important person within the field of labour law in Finland. I got 12 credits, but also have to participate in seminars coming in January. Then I went to Isak and he served me courgette gratin. I went back. I saw a man vomiting on a tram station. Then I met the teacher in International Law. The professor is Martti Koskenniemi. But his not at the uni at present. I got 15 out of 15 credits. After that I walked to the institution of philospohy and psychology. There I met Rolle for the first time in a very long time. A year or something. We had immediately a very amusing discussion. I took the tram to the bus station and took a bus home.
24.9 Wednesday - On Wednesday I went to University of Helsinki in Helsinki! I met the professor in EU-law, Juha Raitio. To discuss credits earned in Glasgow. I got 11ECTS of 15. Then I met Titus and we took the subway to Verkkokauppa after returning a book to the Parliament Library. We had a look at electronics. Then we went back to the city centre and Titus went home. I met Thomas and Jan after having a cappucino. We went for a pizza to our favourite place. The Trance pizzeria. It was fun to see them again. I took the train home after that. Some time after that I went to sleep.
23.9 Tuesday, I am on the train. Leading the standard blog writers life. The laptop in front of me with headphones in my ears. I had a hamburger fast food meal on train from Vasa to Seinäjoki. The last two days I've spent in Vasa. The first days of real studies.
I had an exam today. International private law or battle of laws. So I've been hitting the CISG and The Rome Convention the last two days. There was only one question to answer because I've attended a lecture that frees you from the other question. I'm sure I'll pass and have three points more. I hope it's going to be a good mark.
I woke up today 6. I had breakfast and biked to the uni along the sea side promenade in thick fog. I revised until 8:45. I biked to Virastotalo and sat down. The question wasn't properly translated from Finnish to Swedish, which confused me. After one and a half hour I was done. I walked to uni and there I met Minttu and Noora for the first time in more than a year. I had lunch, a very Finnish one with a thick sausage and mashed potatoes, with Noora, Minttu, Eeva, Hanna and Pia-Maria.
After lunch I walked back to Virastotalo and had a very useful talk with Marja-Riitta about my studies. I am now very clear on what I have to do and what I have done not too smartly. I'll make an official transcript soon, so I know myself, where I am.
After that I biked home and cleaned a bit. Then I packed some fish we fished in the summer and some blueberries my father picked last summer. I left the flat around 14:50. I walked via Hesburger and bought a meal. The church were ringing consistently, because of the shooting. Maria sent a message about it. Otherwise I wouldn't know. Now I am on the train.
22.9 Monday, I woke up 8 and had only a cup of tea because I didn't have any bread. I biked to uni and started reading, first in the aquarium and when the library was opened I read on the forth floor from 10 to 7. I had lunch with Jonna. Tritionia and reading there was so much the same. It felt good. To read in that way again. The lunch was meatballs and potatoes. I had a pasta around 5 and a snack with Emil around 7. Then I continued in the aquarium again, until 8:45. Then I biked home via a shop and bought cheese and bread. At homed I continued reading until 11. I had some sandwiches and a shower in between the reading.
21.9 Sunday. I walked up as you normally do on Sundays, not too late nor early. I had breakfast, read some law, cleaned my room and packed my bag for Vasa. Then Isak arrived. He had a small radio controlled aircraft with him. It was cool until the battery died after 15 minutes. I'm going to take a picture of the business, just to let the world know. Around 12 Oliver and Wilhelm arrived. We jammed after some repairing. Unfortunately we don't have a bass amp now. We jammed for a couple of hours but could not record our two songs, because of the amp.
We had lunch, wok. We were eight people eating. We had also Dutch cheese and cake for dessert. Then I packed my last things and run to the train. In Helsinki I got of and sat on the railway station opening, reading waiting for the train. I bought a ticket and something to eat on the way. I got on the train 18:30 and arrived in Vasa 22:30, 500 km north. The journey was pleasant for the exception of two proud under officer conscripts. My grandmother was right. Officers are disciplined dogs. These were the dogs, still being disciplined. I haven't had the opportunity to meet anyone else yet. I walked from the station to the flat. It's through the centre of Vasa, around 20 minutes walking. It was cold and my breath was steam. I dropped the bag at the flat. It was nice to be back. I walked down to the harbour and checked our mighty ship, and it was still there. I walked back, around the prison. I had a cup of tea and had quick watch at the telly. No Finnish channels left. Then I went to sleep
20.9 Saturday - I woke up already 9 a clock. I took the train with Pekka to Kyrkslätt and from there to Helsingfors. We ran to the university to attend a doctors disputation, that is when someone gets his PHD. This time it was Trygve Söderling. Our old neighbour and friend. I enjoy reading his articles. He writes well. There were all the big ones. All the big ones in Swedish literature in Finland, Lars Hulden, Claes Andersson, Bo Carpelan och Jörn Donner. I was taking photos after the presentation and debate when a woman came up to me and asked who I was taking photos for. I said for myself. She said she was from a paper and she needed some photos. That's how I got my first job. I don't know if they are going to publish any of them. Then me and m father took the bus home. At home we had dinner after a while. In the evening we had a sauna.
19 Fredag - Today I woke up 10:30. Almost cured. I walked outside. Isak was building on his greenhouse and Pekka on his shed for wood. I discussed with both, about building. I walked back inside from the cold. I had breakfast, a very Finnish one. Dark bread, dishwater tea, weak cheese and some sausage. After breakfast I tried to get a hold of the world again. I read emails to know what lectures were served, jobs, friends and so on. After that I organised my room which still in disorder. I started reading international private law. The first real studying involving translation from Finnish to Swedish. I studied for only two hours yet so I cant say how it exactly was, or is going to be, the incoming year. Fine I guess just like the years before.
Titus came home 3 and Mamma 4 to distract me. Then Jonna and a friend of hers arrived. To pick mushrooms in the woods above our house. An hour later we had dinner, pizza. I was lively and told them a lot of stories, not only about Holland. After dinner some surfing. Then me and Titus and me jammed before he took the 9:14 train. I'm sitting here now. Wondering when to go Vasa and read for my exam on 23.9. It's going to be only one question because I've done some additional work and it's only one book. Now is now. My blog is me now.
