In the train

9 hours of work at NIB. I took the metro to Kampen and from there to the Rock Church. There was Clara and six others. We walked to Beetroot and had beer and Glögg. The music was nice and it was cosy. From there we walked to Torni and the Urban planners had a view over the dark city.


Night

Urban Discussions

Then to another sight, the Trance-Pizzera, where we had pizza and two liters or beer. Only three of six entered the pizzeria. After the pizzeria I took the train home and was home 22.14.

26.11 Thursday - I had a late morning, woke up 8.30 and took 9.04 to Helsinki. I read the essay that was going to be the topic for the seminar in the train and at uni. 10.15-11.45 we had the lecture with some good lectures. At the law library I met Frida, Nathalie and Tommi. They were going to eat. I ate with Jan and also Benjamin for a short while and his girlfriend. I walked back to uni to and get a coffee before continuing reading. The ticket I got from the other cantine didn't work at the other cafe. Suddenly, I got tired and angry. I went home and read a bit, polished my shoes and skyped with Maria. Then goodnight.

25.11 Wednesday - I had no lectures in the morning but took 7.37 anyhow. I read the morning and it was very successful from a thesis point of view. I had lunch with Rolle and after that French.

After French Ukri and me made a powerpoint show for next Tuesday, when we present the New Haven School. Me and Titus had a Kebab in Barbarossa. After that I walked to the senate square. There I met Clara, for the first time in 1,5 years, and her friend. We walked to Zetor where I met 35 more French people. They dined and I had only an Olvi for 5.40. Zetor is by all means not a good restaurant. And they didn't like the food. Afterwards I led the group first by tram and then walking to Kallio. We found a place where you could get a beer for 3 and there we stayed. There were also two completely wasted men that tried to kiss and hug. One said: -Kiss me, I have aids.
After one beer I left and took the train home.

I had international law in the morning and lunch with Ukri. We talked about the feminist approach to international law. It not really a real theory for international law. from 2-4 it was French. Maria sent me to a link "Foutesses" on youtube. I asked if we could watch the short clip in class and the teacher said yes. So we watched the 6 min clip and that was fun. Then I stayed at the library and worked on my thesis. I went to the gym and then home

23.11 Monday. I had my French exam. It was only grammar and then an essay. I hope I pass. Then I had some time to rest and I think I had lunch with Nathalie. French from 2-4. In the evening I jogged with Titus. And it was my last very early morning for 2009, nice.

22.11 Sunday. I read for my exam. I carried would and it was the first time I was out in a very long time. Sauna in the evening and I swam in the pond of death. Oh, I remembered all week quite well.

21.11 Saturday - Les femmes sont toutes le meme is coming into my ears from my headphones. I am listening to music. I woke up around 10. I had Sharon fruits, bread and tea. After breakfast I started reading French for Monday and I also wrote an essay to the teacher and he replied soon back with a corrected version. I skyped with Maria and then had dinner. Salmon in the oven with herbs. Juicy and tasty. The sun was shining for the first time since 15th September.


Sun in Finland

I continued with French and ate Brie to learn more efficiently, and by mistake drank Argentinian white wine. I wouldn't buy wine from the other end of the world. Since then I've been looking at photos, clips on YT on The Fender Twin. That's Saturday. I am going to watch a film soon.

I studied the whole day. I had lunch with Mikko and Nathalie. Then I continued studying until it was time for gym. After gym I bought two liters of milk and two liters of yogurt. I took the train home. And yet another day in my life had passed, never to return. I listen right now to Little - tout le garcon demander something.

18.11 Wednesday, is easy to remember. I took 7.14 to Kyrkslätt and 7.26 from Kyrkslätt and 8 in Helsinki. I walked in haste to my lecture in French, the last lesson. That was over at 9.45. I had a tea and a sandwich from home in cafe Portaali, a very unpleasant cafe in the middle of a house. Then I continued at the faculty library with my thesis work. I really got things done today, not much but it felt good.
I had lunch with Rolle and Anne-Mie came later. At 2.15 French again, but another course. That was done 15.45. Then I had a cup of tea with Mr Kilpelä and Nathalie.

Marta

Back at uni I studied until 14.15. Then I went back to uni and borrowed a book and another one about art in the interwar period. I had dinner with three religious men, Jan, Benjamin and Matti. An assumption held was that order can only come from order. Therefore, there is order behind men. I think there is no order. I played floor ball with the Bank.

Titus on the tracks

15.11 OK, now I'll start pressing my brain for stuff done the last 9 days. I think that's the break I've had. Today is easy. I woke up 10.30 after the party and had breakfast. Then Margareta, Titus and me went for a walk for 1,5 hours. We went to a flee market, but it closed when we arrived. The walk was Jorvas-Masaby and back. We had fish for dinner. After dinner I had some Swedish chocolate and revised a chapter in French for the incoming exam, 3 ECTS, next Monday. The whole day was filled with Henriks heavy rock jamming.

I wiped dust, cleaned my room and the computer room. We dusted the carpets and titus was cleaning the floor until vacuum-cleaner broke down. Isak and Jonna arrived and Henrik arrived. We had lunch, sjömansbiff. It was followed by coffee. Then preparations for the party, or dinner. Pekka and me made a salad. Pekka baked bread. Is make more bread and a salad. Everything was done an hour before and I searched for questions for a quiz and changed clothes. The first guests arrived 19.15 And the last an hour late. We had dinner and listened mostly to Pekka and Urban. Then we had coffee and cakes. At 0030 we were done and people started to leave and the last ones left at 1. That was my 24 bday.
