Yesterday was the same old same old, except that I was relaxing in the pool for a swim last night. Feels great after a day of hard work.
How was your Day 2 (general chat)

I still feel sick. I tried to go to sleep like two hours before i'm used to (12 pm instead of 2 am) so i could get proper rest. i woke up at 4 am X.x Went back to sleep. I guess my body is just used to sleep in 4 hour stretches? Anyway, maybe i shouldn't go jogging today.
Working thru some stuff. Dunno how long i will be here.

Drink a nice cup of tea, that always helps me. And yeah, sickness sucks, especially because it doesn't let you sleep at night properly :/ Hope you feel better soon!
Down with those pesky illnesses! -

Down with those pesky illnesses!Thank you Nolus, i will do that :3
Also, i haven't bathed in like 4 days. Now i'm afraid of tripping, i don't want to get sticked to the floor.

Wow. So I had my first exam today, and it is my strongest paper … and it was so unexpectedly hard. Lost probably 60 marks from things I didn't do or did wrongly ... so that puts my upper limit on 70% :/
Tomorrow, the hellishly hard exam. Seeing as the easy one was so hard, maybe this one will be easy. Or just even harder.

I have a job interview coming up this week and I just got a bad sunburn yesterday that made my face and neck all red.
Anyone know how to approach this?
This is literally my first sunburn ever, this is so weird.

I found something amazing for all you people who love that one very famous Finnish word that everybody knows. Enjoy.
! Unfortunately, it has no English subtitles, so let me just summarize it for you:
! How do Finns say "Perkele"- When you have to pay 3000€ more taxes
- When you get 30€ in tax returns
- When you're getting your mail and find out that your grandma has died
- When you lose your wallet…
- ...for a second
- When "it" has been amazing
- When "it" has been awful
- When Fennoswedes run out of champagne
- When a rural Finn runs out of beer
- When you get pulled over by the cops and are found guilty of kidnapping someone
- When the gearbox falls out
- When you eat the first sausage of the summer...
- ...and burn your fingers in the process
- When you're playing NHL games
- When you run into someone you want to meet
- When you run into someone you don't want to meet
- On the first hot summer day
- On the second hot summer day
- When you die in an old film
- When one day of your "summer holiday" has passed
- When you find your girlfriend in bed with your brother
! Yup. Welcome to Finland, everybody.
-
Just turned in a 20 page long essay of completely tortorous writing on history. But now I'm done in University for this semester and kind off hoping to be able to go to Brighton next year.
Now i just have to pray that I get this horrible salesman job that is going to cripple my ability to enjoy life for the rest of the summer. But you know. A man gotta eat.

I've spent too much time in the house. I'm starting to get angry at my facebook feed cause they like all my Sarcastic and funny status but no one of them fucks have even glanced twice at what i put of the Tian'anmen square. I don't know. Maybe i should put on a movie? I hope tomorrow i'll be better.

I'll be perfectly honest here and say that i scroll by each and every attempt at world changing i see on FB.

Well, i'm not attempting to change the world via FB but it kinda frustrates when everything in your timeline gets attention except the things that you really, really, care about.

I think these things are important but Twitter seems a much better place for them. On Twitter, people interact or not, each from their own account to other accounts. On FB, you end up with your old German lecturer arguing with a friend from Livejournal and then someone you did poetry with joins in and everyone is shouting at each other in your front garden. If those debates get heated enough, they'll demand you pick a side, and bam, you lose a friend. FB doesn't do politics well.
I'm not even going to entertain Tumblr.
moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

I lose friends in Facebook daily xD . Also, i don't like twitter because they always say it's superior argument-wise but then i see TT: #BeingHot #Kardashianhot #YOLO so…yeah. What i do is that i pick my facebook contacts carefully. Well, kinda. I fuckin hate the writers in my timeline.

Twitter is really versatile though - on my TL I find people who use it in so many different ways. Twitter as a whole is pretty good for news too and things like it - I once tracked the whole flightpath of a military helicopter over UK airspace by looking at the time and locations of people who had tweeted about seeing it. Even if UK twitter gets annoyed when London gets a storm and everyone down here tweets about the thunder to one another.

I'm just gonna unfollow everyone and follow TheGoddamnbatman. Seems like a reasonable choice.

It's been such a rare day. I'm kind of exactly in the midpoint between two completely different times in my life.
Looking back, I had started this new home last year. A new place, finally economically independent to live on my own with my girlfriend. There was so much promise, and I remember assembling all my new furniture and filling my kitchen, everything being my own. Filled everything with memories, posters everywhere, lots of movies and games. It was the perfect home to rest in after work. And that's the other one, years spent in a school that drained everything of me, but while it was exhausting I was able to directly interact and impact the lives of hundreds of kids. Kids who hated me at first because I was enforcing rules but by the end wanted to stick around after school to share their accomplishments and ask about life. One time I even stayed afterschool for hours with kids just talking to them about life.
All of this is coming to a close. I'm spending the last restful days at my place before beginning the process of packing up for a new move, and tomorrow marks a week now since I last had a classroom full of students to look after. After a year that started with the promise of a home and a committed relationship, I'm now ending it with the promise of adventure and new encounters. Soon I'll be moving to a completely new city with nothing certain except the support of some friends and family, to see what sort of things I can do and find in a completely different environment.
So yea, it's definitely a weird day now because I'm so full of nostalgia and sadness for every great thing that happened here and everything that I dreamed of that never came to be. But at the same time, once I begin thinking about what's coming I can't help but feel excited about the prospect of taking a huge leap towards new things. It feels like one life ends and another one begins, and I'm currently in the transition period.

One of our local swans was found murdered in its nest :(
They knew it was a human's doing because it had its neck snapped.
Our reservoir always has a pair of swans on it every year, so the community is very upset about this.It was much worse the last time this happened, though. A few years back, someone went to the reservoir with the clear intent of swan genocide.
A whole fucking family of swans and signets was knifed and shot to death. Pure fucking evil. -
Ooh new thread hello gov'nas.
Been stressful but finished 1st year of uni two weeks ago, been getting the occasional migraine since, still awaiting marks and shit.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also referring to the last post of the last thread - I live on that stuff and I don't see anything wrong with it... until I see foreign food programs and I drown in drool.

Yesterday was quite the pain in my ass with all the chaos going on at my job. Good god, do I need a vacation. -_-

Well Change will always bring new surprises and you'll see everything will go just great :3 Everything will go great.
Also, a lot of people are teachers in AP. I could never do that! I don't know how i would gain the kids respect. I mean, years ago i had a plan that i would shiv the first one i saw so i would gain the respect of the others inmmediately (I mean, it works in the movies right?) but then my brother told me that's illegal so i'm drawing a blank there D:

So after the easiest exam being really hard yesterday, the hardest exam was kind of easy today.
Although on the first half of it I didn't do maybe 25% and got every question except one wrong by some dumb mistake or not answering what was asked …
So maybe I got 65% yesterday and 65% today. So I just need to ace my other two papers to get the top grade eh. I think I can ace electronics, maybe. And then there's maths ... so I'm not getting the top grade :(
-
Almost back to full health now. RPGs lie when they get you back to full health after just one night's sleep. THEY LIE, I TELL YOU. Now i'm thinking if i should stay in or maybe try to go out. Maybe go buy some comics but i don't want to get caught by the rain. Decisions, decisions.
-
I'm working on only 3 hours of sleep right now. My own fault. Stayed up all night watching stupid vidoes on WSHH.
What craziness.

Today, while trying to stop all my clothes from being covered in cat hair (a fluffy, molting cat) I put them in a sealed bag immediately after being cleaned. And yet they still end up covered in them. I just don't understand how.

I've gotten in touch with the folks in the next town over, and it doesn't seem to be impossible to potentially set up an apprenticeship once i move there. They want me to come in for a meeting and talk things over, and consider potential employers who would consider taking in an apprentice.
I'm so fucking stoked! Fuck all the practical problems that still lie in my way, i'll just have to power through them.

I work in a poetry library (in cause you don´t know, a poetry library is library only for poetry media), both the users and my coworkers said I´m doing a great job. But, I´m not a big fan of poetry and I think I´m not doing my 100% at that place. There is a RPG library close to my house and I want to feel this new experience. The main problem is that I don´t want to leave the poetry library, the people there are great.
Yes, just that.
I guess I can dance in this weekend, I´m still sick, but a lot better.

Today i'm feeling much better and maybe i will go out….although Netflix keeps tugging my shirt so i can binge-watch Orange is the New Black.
Decisions, decisions b:

Yesterday I actually got called in for work for a midshift….someone had called out. It was a manageable day, despite it just being me and someone else for 98% of the shift. Got a little busy towards the end, but the closing people had came in, so it's all good.
also two fun revelations:
- after not making a pizza for months, my pepproni comes out very wonky and oversaturated with sauce.
- a manager and a co-worker both have Mario Kart 8?! Cool.
Today my mother and I went to the cemetery, considering my late grandmother's birthday (the one who passed last fall) was Wednesday. I haven't been to see her or my grandfather in a while and....well, had a nice little graveside chat. Broke down a little, but I'm fine now.
-
And of fucking course i get caught in the rain when i return home and of fucking course my sister, that came to eat with me, didn't bring a jacket so i had to giver here mine so of motherfuckin course i will get sick again :(

Finally, I could talk a little with my love about things. Turns out he feels similarly. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel! I just want to hug and kiss him so much~~

Went to the American embassy a couple of days ago for my student visa interview. I don't think I've ever been so nervous before in my entire life. It didn't help that it took me 8 hours by bus just to get there.
But honestly, it all went better than I expected. There weren't even a sort of interview which I thought, I just had to pass through security then hand over some papers and then I was pretty much done.
The only problem now is that I can only enter the country with a student visa 30 days before school starts. So I can travel to the US on July 17th. Which freaking sucks since I was planning on heading over any day now. I miss my boyfriend :/

Spent so long with the commute and with the moth infestation and with the stresses and it's all not been the fun.
Yesterday I had no lift into work from the local station several miles away so I thought I'd walk it. Having barely survived Death Chicane last time (a series of fast bends on the road where the sides turn into steep loose cuttings with no pavement, I had to literally jump into the vegetation to avoid getting running over last time) I thought I'd try the footpath marked on OS maps. It was fine for the first quarter mile, then I got closely overtaken by a tractor which almost hit me with its tractory appendages. It got worse from there, as I crossed a field littered with cow pats, then a field with long grass up to my waist (A Wild Pidgey Appeared!) and then the path turned into a muddy stream that sucked my shoes (and they weren't boots) off my feet leaving me with dubious mud up to my ankles. Then came the ancient woodland where the footpath branched and, tired already, I picked the wrong branches and got lost in a forest maze only to come across more mud. I burst out of the woods into a country park surprising two dog walkers who had not expected a small muddy coffee-clutching girl emerge from thick woodland and ask if they knew the way to the nearest town.
This whole time I was carrying a soy hazelnut latte from the mainline station coffee shop I'd stopped at earlier, which by the time I reached the office, I felt I should throw into Mt Doom to save the world from a dark lord for it was clearly the important burden of the epic quest.
But my shoes weren't good. I spent ages washing them in the workplace loos, but today decided to wear a spare pair of boots I had kicking around instead. Big mistake - the right one was too tight in just the wrong place and gave me such a horrendous blister by the end of the day that I took it off and wore the boot on my hand as I walked semi-barefoot through a town made up largely of brightly-coloured block buildings. These buildings were of the town I'm going to move to in two months to finally end my four-hours-a-day-commuting. In fact, I'd barely spend an hour a day on the commute from this new place. Looked at a flat there and it seems to meet my criteria - even if it's not perfect, it's a good average.
As for the boot situation? I picked up some cat-slippers from a supermarket in the town centre and wore them the whole way home via my usual route. Cat slippers felt like a suitable way to end a rather hectic stressful week. As is this gin I now have. It tastes of I Need A Holiday.
Finally, I could talk a little with my love about things. Turns out he feels similarly. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel! I just want to hug and kiss him so much~~
Yay, that's a relief!

Well, my father is going on bussiness trip again next week. Like the last time i have to come to my parent's house and stay here and bring my mother to work and then go to my home again to work and then go back to my mother to work and bring her to their house (this time add my sister that has an internship or something like that) and i just hope i don't have a breakdown as bad as the last time i had. It was pretty bad and i don't wan't that again.
And Netflix won't load Orange is the new black. This day keeps getting better yay! :/

That's so cool and great that you're actually going to the US. Myself I initially considered studying abroad (in Europe) but the process and everything seemed so difficult and expensive in every way (plus I wasn't sure what I really wanted) that I just settled for the best thing I could find in my own country. Can't imagine what it's been like to apply to school and visa for the US for real. Best of luck, I hope it's all worth it.

It's incredibly expensive, and it's taken me a couple of months now. At least I'm done with all the applications and such, which feels awesome. It's just this last waiting that's pretty damn awful.
I'd say it's always worth it to travel around, especially for school. Seeing different parts of the world have always been a goal of mine, since I never really traveled when I was a kid.

I was pretty busy yesterday. First I had to go get my ID renewed, then I had to show up for work an hour and 22 minutes late and worked like crazy, then finally I had to do some serious grocery shopping to have enough for the week.

The application for the school actually went fairly smoothly. I just sent in an application along with financial proof, and I got accepted. To be fair, it's at a community college, not a university. The hard part is getting the visa and all the things you need in order to get that.

Cool, cause I had a really hard time understanding any of that and nobody helped me with anything. So where in the US are you going?
