Daily life

Hei there,

right now my life isn't so really very exiting -maths, swimming, household stuff, going to university every now and then to get into the groove and some communication with friends...But looking closer, I actually FOUND some enjoyment in maths. I'm not quite mastering it but several hours of Gauss elminiation and algrithms and exponential equations with n unknown variables blablaaaa - you have to become friends.
Turn an enemy into a friend... or how was it?

That's what I do. Then I have funny moment in the swimming hall with old people who do funny things or are just being really old and scare me. Or when elderly men (now I mean 50+x) think the whole pool belongs to them and crash into you, when you're swimming on the back- me, I mean when I am straightly (oriented on the ceiling) swim slowly on my back and he can seeeee me. He crashed into me twice. The first time I excused but then.. I guess, I'll be just like that when I'm old. Demanding respect and spaaaace ?!?????????!

These are the "great" events right now (c; BUt also meeting really old friends from Kindergarten that I haven't seen in a while IS really nice. I've been really good friends with her back then for 5 years and we only meet in church on christmas and then maybe once more a year. But we had some coffee time together and basically could close all the gaps there. REALLY nice!! And seeing my grandparents moe often is really nice too. I try to see them a lot -for all selfish reasons- I don't want to feel like a bad grand daughter for not being there a lot, get some good old food, sometimes a little extra money, and looooove....all the nice things (c;



Since my mom is still in rehab during the week (for her operated arm!) there's household stuff to do..wich is fine normally and my father does a lot as well. But it's a whole big house (with far too much stuff I you ask me) after all and the cooking..But with the right equipment and a lot of motivation - which I both don't have...



But now that the learning feels a bit better, I meet friends today, go to a huge Saunapark next week, drive to Hamburg to a friend's housewarming party and so on!! We're getting there (((c;

I miss you though. Strangely, although we haven't seen much of each other. I miss Finland; being a bit more myself, the cold winter and I'd like to share some things with you. Sharing is caring and so on (c;

But "I'll be back" (NO, I don't have an Austrian accent and not that many muscles)

Wernigerode - visiting my university town....for classes

As I mentioned, I thought it is a good idea to go to some classes to my university to get back in the "groove" again...the one I never had...

And it wasn't really sucha good idea because all these curious young students have been enthusiastically studying maths and investment etc. for this whole semester and I have JUST started to get backl to it again. I found myself sitting in calss and panicing a little. I could follow but until I will master that stuff (NOT again!) it might take a little more effort than I thought at some point...I KNEW it but now i FEEl it..

But meeting some friends and then walking throught the city made up for some stuff. Down there, I've put some pictures of our woinderful university campus, the old town, the castle above the town and let's see what I find (c;

Thesis development

Ahh, and good news on the thesis front. I'm at 33 pages and there is only beginning, end and all the formatting and correcting to do!

Thanks for all the encouragement and help so far. After I'm done with this I can do ANYYYYTHIIINGG (c;

Iceparty time in Germany

Heihoo,

since I'm in Germany now and away from Suomi for now, the Blog will change "sides" and switch to English to keep "the Finns" updated....

..It's cold here, colder than it was in Finland. But less comfortable cause it's kinda humiiid )c;

Anyways, me and my friend Ursula went ice-skating on some local lake-area with loads of canals, Spreewaldseen. Although they said in the radio that the lakes were (officially) opened 2 years ago, to me it seems like 10 and I was happy like "Schneekönig" to go iceskating outside public halls!! In the newaspapers it said that thousands of people were on the ice that weekend! There was a tractor-wagon selling Bratwurst and Glühwein (Glögi) and music.....haaachh how great...



The Maschsee, which is the city-lake in Hannover also hadan ice-party. There were, according to the newspaper, 150.000 on the ice during the whole weekend -wohooo


Anyways, I will leave some more news here during the next couple of weeks. I will be back in Finland only in the end of helmikuu )c:


This is education folks, about my home, Heimat, family and friends (c;



P.S.: The blister I got from ice-skating is not good for everyone to see..pretty yak!

Take care

Schon wieder in Deutschland

Hei Leute,

EIN ERFOLGREICHES UND FROHES JAHR 2009 WÜNSCHE ICH EUCH ALLEN!!

meine Eroberung Finnland's muss also noch ein wenig warten. Ich bin schon wieder in Deutschland, damit ich meine Thesis endlich fertig kriege. Ca. 28 Seiten sind geschafft, der Rest im Entwurf und ich bin optimistisch. Außerdem will man das Teil nach eine gewissen Zeit einfach nur noch loswerden!
Und dann stehen ja noch zwei Prüfungen in Wernigerode an. War gestern schon da- bei Sonnenschein und Schnee mit Papa. Da habe ich mich mal mit Prof's getroffen, Bürokratiekram erledigt und mich mal mit den Terminen und Tutorien bekannt gemacht.

Optimismus ist da, aber ich bin schon leicht nervös..

Jedenfalls hoffe ich, dass wir uns in der Zeit bis Mitte/Ende Februar mal sehen!

Bis bald
