[five!]
The grades for proseminar / BA essay came. I got a five.
Five. o_O
I bought a small chocolate bar during the coffee break to celebrate, but my Infernal Stomach Ache™ prevented me from eating all of it. So I gave Jaakko the half I couldn't eat and tried desperately to bear the pain trough the last part of the South African Literature lecture.
Where the hell did the stomach ache come again anyway? I haven't had it for ages. Bollocks. It almost took the shine away of my beloved proseminar grade. But only almost.
So whee. Happy dance. Lala.
On a side note, nothing makes you feel like a looney like downloading
several Nacho Libre trailes only to see the "I was wondering if you would like to join me in my quarters this night... for some toast." part. Jaakko was talking about it today and I somehow developed this irrisistable urge to see it. Although I can't help wondering why this movie was ever made, I have to admit I laughed at the toast thing.

[surprise visit]
Milla phoned me on Thursday evening and said she was on her way to visit grandpa. She asked if I'd like to come along, and so on Friday I paid a little surprise visit to grandpa. I only stayed for a day (from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon) but was good to go because I haven't been there for a year. I know I ought to visit him more often, but somehow I never find the time - or energy, as it is rather exhausting to spend time with him. Ah well.
So I was back in Joensuu at 6pm last night, watched Huips 2006 (Mikko was on telly) and then went to see Olavi gig to Amarillo with Samu. The gig was alright. I didn't experience any Great Awakening, but the music sounded better live than on record. I also liked the attitude. What I didn't like were the drunken fans behaving badly or this girl next to me unintentionally
but continuously hitting me with her purse. But I guess you can't avoid that anywhere you go.
I'd also forgotten that Samu isn't the best companion to gig. This time he was tired and hadn't eaten and all that, but I don't think I've ever seen him stay through the entire gig. Yesterday he left after some five or six songs. However, I decided to be a nice person and lingered after the gig to tell Olavi Samu had been there. That's the first time I've spoken to him in twelve or so years, and naturally felt a bit odd. And so I fled after a few sentences.
And a wise choice it was, too. I was so tired I just fell on the bed and slept almost instantly. I also slept until 10.30am, which is something I never do. Apparently, I really needed the sleep.
The summer courses start tomorrow and I still haven't finished reading the material. At least I've read some of it, go me. I'll try to pull myself together tomorrow and read the rest. Or something. Sigh.

Ha! The
American Idol 2006 has been chosen. Although I did prefer Chris and Elliott, can't complain. Most refreshing, I'd say :)

[bad day]
Theme of the day: stress, distress, depression.
I don't know. Finished writing the effin' Propp essay and now I'm just all blagh. Sun is shining and I went out for a little walk - and oo, isn't the air fresh now after all that rain - but didn't dare to take a long one (which I would've felt like) since my eating is still pretty much fucked up and I'm trying concentrate on getting it in order first.
Also, apart from Krista, it feels like I haven't seen anyone in days. Which isn't a lie really. I haven't really talked to anyone this week. Hm. Except Samu, who popped in for a few minutes last night. We watched The Simpsons, and then he was gone, so I don't know if I can count that.
Though I do I have to count that, or I'll start sounding like grandpa :)
Distress bonus: It feels like everyone's staring at me wherever I go. Woo. That's a normal feeling for me, but usually I just don't care.
The summer course materials lie there on my bed, but I can't be bothered to pick them up and read. I wish I'd started with the Hollywood articles and saved the South-African Literature books last. But no, I did it the other way round. And now that I finished J.M. Coetzee's Discrage the day before yesterday, all I have left is the bunch of articles. Most depressing.
So was the Coetzee book, though. It's got to be one of the strangest books I've read in a long while. I'm not sure if I liked it, but I did get somehow strangely hooked on it. I don't know if it was depressing or distressing, but it did raise an awful lot of thoughts. And what the hell happened in the end? Can someone explain? Please? Now I feel reading more Coetzee books, if only to check whether or not they are as captivating as this one. But I know I'll probably never get around to actually reading them. Same happened with Iris Murdoch. I still haven't touched any of her other books, no matter how much I loved the Bell I read for fiction 3.
I wish I had an Agatha Christie novel right now, but I've read all I've borrowed from the library (which naturally is closed today). Poo.
What do people do in their free time if they're not reading Christie or out walking? Enlighten me.

[giving up principles]
I walked to Lidl today. As I was strolling up and down the isles, I started to feel a bit silly. Sure, the food there is mostly cheap and as I am a student, it'd be rather convenient for me to shop there. But I don't want to.
The products that are considerably cheaper are mostly foreign, and I want to support local food producers. If I can't have a North Carelian product, it doesn't matter, if it's at least Finnish. Very rarely I buy foreign food if there is Finnish equivalent available. It's weird that I do that, actually, because I haven't really given much thought to this before, I just realised it today. Hmm.
Nevertheless, I
did give up my principles today and bought German bread from Lidl, since I've been craving wholegrain rye bread for ages, and the Finnish versions are so expensive I just can't make myself buy it (am also a penny-pincher :p). And I also bought German muesli bars because there was a new flavour. Then I walked to Prisma and bought German curd (and a bag of Finnish carrots, yay me..).
So apparently, I am not as strict in my principles as I'd like to be. But of course there must always be room for improvement, so it's all good. I am not giving up the fair trade bananas, though.
I'm hoping to finish my literary & cultural theory essay tomorrow. Then I could let it rest for a few days, proofread, make the changes and hand it in on Monday along with the Shakespeare essay. I've got some 1250 words now, and we were told to write ca. 2000. So 750 to go. Or 650, because 1900 is almost 2000 :p
I'm so fed up with all this essay writing, though, that I don't know if I can make myself to write the essay tomorrow. It's a shame, because I honestly think Vladimir Propp is an interesting character and I'd like to contentrate on this essay more. But can't. I'm too tired. So I just write mechanically and hope that I'm not dishonouring Propp in any way. Or something. Har.
It still feels silly to sit here my nose practically glued on
Morphology of the Folktale. Like I said, Propp is interesting, and so is the theory, but never did I dream that I would actually grab this book and start reading it. I wish I had time to read it thoroughly, now I'm just flipping through pages looking for something I can quote. Hm.
School happiness:
I got 4/5 in the media culture research project.
I feel like sending extra cookies to everyone who participated and helped. "Extra" is a bit arguable, though, because Ville is the only one who ever received even the first set of cookies. :D

[food annoyance]
Bollocks.
The whole spring I've had this project of trying to eat correctly and healthily. Nothing major, just trying to make sure I'm eating enough, not getting much more or less energy than I manage to spend during the day. Makes sense, right? Right.
Wonderful realistation of the morning: I am
still eating way too little.
and how did this happen? I've somehow managed to ignore the fact that what my body spends every day, even if I'm just lying on my back the whole day, and the amount it spends during a normal day, i.e. walking around and doing the everyday stuff, is entirely different thing.
So we're talking about numbers like from -700kcal to -1300kcal
every day. o_O
(To those of you who don't know anything about calories, the sum equals about 1,5-2 biggish meals. Or a pizza.)
This is so annoying.
Naturally, now when I've realised this, I want to fix the situation. But I already eat five times a day, and haven't even really felt hungry or anything. In other words, the lack of energy isn't really showing. Still, I need to fix it, because I don't want my body using my already almost non-existent muscles as a source for energy if it's not getting proper nutrition.
I'm depressed.
And don't feel like writing the literary & cultural theory essay I need to get done this week. Aaa. Almost ready to give up entirely.

[i don't get it]
I may have saved a person's life last night.
Dramatic much?
Rephrase: I may have prevented someone getting really ill last night.
After the Eurovision hype, Noora, Reeta, Laura and me decided to go out. After some 3 minutes, it started to rain. A lot. So I thought I'd go home.
And so I was walking past Sokos and saw a figure lying there on the ground under a bike. It was a woman, who luckily was breathing ok, but I couldn't get her to wake up. So I phoned 112 (I used the emergency number for the first time in my life, figure that) and asked for an ambulance. It arrived in a few minutes, and the paramedics were able to wake her. She couldn't stand up, though, or even speak properly, so they took her away and I got to go home and change into dry clothes.
Good deed of the day done.
But really. I wasn't the first person to walk by her, I saw other people walking there before me. Why didn't anyone do anything? What kind of person lets someone lie there in a pouring rain in the middle of night? What's wrong with people? Probably everyone thought she had just passed out from drinking, that's what I thought too. But she might have been severely concussed for all I know. And letting her lie, maybe for hours, there might've caused even meningitis or something. And a bad flu at the very least.
The indifference and negligence astonishes me.
Don't people realise this might happen to them as well? I like to believe in karma in such matters. If I help when someone needs it, maybe I'll receive help when I happen to need it.
I am bored and way too tired to do anything sensible. Hence, series 1-8.

[history is made at night]
AAAAA!
We're pretty much in hysterics.
Lordi.
292 points.
Historical moment in many ways. I can't believe it.
I have discovered my national pride.
Unbelievable.
Glad I invited the girls over. I don't think I would've been able to take this on my own.
Jumping around. Jebus!

[esc :p]
Well. Stayed up to watch the effin' song contest and couldn't really sleep afterwards. Now my head is buzzing due to lack of sleep and no sensible thought appears to be going through my brain. So yay. I also accidentally made my Activize vitamin drink a tad bit stronger than usual and now my elbows feels like they're on fire. Grah.
But no can do. I have an appointment at 9am and had to take a shower. That's why I'm up this early.
Of course, I'm feeling some sort of national pride because Lordi made it to the final. I never voted for them in the Finnish final (mainly because I think the whole song contest is silly), but have always thought that they were a good choice. So ha-ha to all of you who thought that they'd ruin Finland's reputation in the contest. As if it hadn't been ruined years ago already. Remember Cat Cat, Jasmine, Pave and the likes, anyone? And I am proud that for once we didn't send a song that was made for the contest.
All this wants to say "go Lordi" - though I do think the band is also a bit silly. But that's the whole point, isn't it?
But raaaaah!
Could the Ukraine song really be more annoying? I first heard it some three weeks ago and thought that it must be one of the worst, if not
the worst, song in the whole contest. And yesterday I realised I was right. If you don't sound like Shakira, why even bother? Good grief. I can't believe it made it to the final o_O
Those were my topmost Eurovision thoughts. I've let them out now. Good. Now I can start preparing for the meeting. And the maturity exam. Whoopee.

[advanced logic]
I cleaned my room rather thoroughly today. And it was about time, let me tell you. I can't remember when I last washed the floor, probably in March o_O
I even cleaned the windows, which I'd never done before in the flat. I left an awful lot of stripes and stuff, but at least now when I look out of the window, the vision is clear, not blurry. Ha! I might clean them again during the weekend, though. The stripes bug me.
What is it that makes Finnish rock singers pronounce English badly against their better knowledge? Sometimes I wonder.
Dad gave me a 100 euros as a sort of encouragement / motivation money because I've worked my ass off during the spring and will continue to do that until Midsummer. I calculated a little and realised that if I get my translation money (if only they'd tell me to whom I could send the bill!) and don't spend too much this month, I might manage June just fine without asking more money from dad or transferring any from my extra bank account (which is mainly just for emergencies). So neat! And so I walked to H&M and bought a skirt and a pair of capri trousers. Hooray for Hanna logic! It's just more advanced than other people's.
I still do think buying the trousers and skirt was justified. My summer wardrobe (har) is pretty much non-existent so this'll help a little. I'm still seriously lacking a few shirts and a pair of shoes. I would also need a pair of jeans, a jacket and a bit more shirts, but those aren't
as urgent. Sigh.
Speaking of clothes, I'd need to decide what to wear tomorrow evening for the Summer Party and pack the clothes, too. I won't have time to pick the clothes out tomorrow because I'll be having one hell of a schedule (otherwise there wouldn't be any problem but I don't want to miss my body balance class). So annoying. But in a way it's good. Gives me something to think, so I won't panic about the maturity exam. Panic, panic!
I wonder if I can keep myself awake to watch the Eurovision song contest. It'll be painful to watch since I really can't stand the thing and it gives me headache and nightmares (well, almost). Yet I am strangely drawn to it every year. Inexplicable annual addicition.

[go dad!]
My Shakespeare essay currently has 1300 words. I am amazed! Add inroduction and conclusion, and I'm only missing some two average-length paragraphs. I might even write those two today, if I feel like it. Lala.
Seriously. I thought this was the most difficult essay I've ever had to write, but once I got into it, it wasn't so bad. I've even been able to link my two major topics (the double revenge scheme and Titus's tragic flaw), which I thought would be problematic. Most fantastic. I think I've earned that Snickers now :p
On (a school related) side note:
I handed in my BA essay today and now I'm extremely nervous. When will we get the results? I'm quite happy with the essay itself, but I know there are probably about a bazillion things I could've done better and now I'm all wiggly about it. I wish I'd get a 4. Just how cool would that be?
It turns out that there is a possibility that the detective novel dad wrote over ten years ago is getting published in a year or so! If I understood correctly, it's now pretty much up to dad. He'd need to do some alterations with the help of a copy editor, and he's not sure if he wants to do that because it's really been over a decade since he wrote the original. I still wish he'd do it, fingers crossed now! It's been ages since he last published anyting.
I read the novel when it was first written but I was maybe twelve back then, so I don't think I was fulyl able to grasp it. I offered to read it again now, but we'll see if dad lets me. I'd also like to read his plays, I've never had a chance to do that and I hear they're brilliant.
Adding the fact that mum and her novel were in
HS's Kuukausiliite last weekend, I could say I'm rather proud of both of my parents right now.
(And also a bit bitter since I can't write fiction.)

[200!]
I just heard that I will receive 7 ECTS credits
and 200 euros for the media culture project course I'll be doing before Midsummer. I knew I was going to get those credits and some money, but until today I didn't know the exact sum. The coolest thing? I don't have to pay any tax on it because I'm receiving the money as a sort of scholarship :D
Now I don't have to worry where to pinch the 200e I won't be able to save from my official summer earnings.
I'm still a bit short on money, though, because I really do need some to manage June and July. Bollocks. But still hearing that there'll be some extra to back me up later feels extremely nice.
Now if only I could make some sense of my Shakespeare essay, I'd be all happy. I so wish I would've done it already.. Picked the topic #7: "Defend
Titus Andronicus against the charge that it is just an Elizabethan horror play". It was the only one I could even imagine writing 2000 words about. There were 17 other options, for example:
2. "A notable aspect of the tragedies is the dramatization of female victimisation." Discuss this claim with respect to two of the plays.
4. "Tragic man has a fear of sexuality." Discuss this claim with respect to one of the plays.
10. Discuss the notion of tragic inevitability with respect to
Romeo and Juliet.
13. "Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate / Nor set down aught in malice." -- Is Othello asking the impossible?
16. What does the sub-plot of
King Lear contribute to the play?
17. Choose one important scene from one of the plays and discuss the difficulties involved in staging it.
Those are all very good topics, but 2000-2500 words? I can't see myself pulling it off.
Not that my topic of choice has proven to be any better. I've already used all the good ideas I had and have produced some 250 words. Only 1800 to go. o_O
I want a Snickers. Among other things.

[productive essay writing & snow experiments]
It's the last lecture of the term today (if we don't count the summer courses, that is). Where did the spring go? Where did the school year go? Another year passes by and I hardly notice it. So sad.
During the weekend I actually finished the media education essay and all the audiovisual media exercises. In addition, I also worked on the BA essay and media culture research essay so that they are practically finished. I also proofread the lecture diary. So basically, all I need to do now is print the lot out and hand them in. Quite liberating.
I also started reading The Expedition to the Baobab Tree for the South-African Literature Summer course. And pretty much translated the whole of the Senkka brochure I promised to do this month (I even get paid for it!). I feel so productive.
Now I can start working on the Shakespeare essay. Ahem.
I'm kind of waiting all this school stress to be over so that I could have my life back and talk about other things than essays and school books and such. In a few weeks..
It's so warm and sunny outside, even the trees are beginning to have leaves. I can't believe summer arrived this early and this fast, it's astonishing. Three weeks ago I was still walking around in my winter coat! Sure, I was practically melting in it in the end, but did so nevertheless. I was taking a walk yesterday and saw this little pile of snow that hadn't melted yet and it felt slightly absurd because people were walking around in t-shirts and shorts. Naturally I had to stick my finger in it just to see if it's really cold. It was. I really can't understand what else I was expecting. It's snow after all. :D
Blog ponderings: Why do the emoticons look so bad in the comments field??! They look ok in the posting field, but go to comments and they start to look horrendous. I should just get rid of the whole emoticons, they're not enabled anyway. I just can't be bothered to do that. Annoying.

[school kablooey]
It feels competely idiotic to sit inside in front of the pooter the whole day when the weather outsid eis abolutely gorgeous. But no can do. I have way too many deadlines next week and thus have to type like looney. Let us see..
- media education essay (10 pages)
- final version of media culture research essay
- BA essay
- audiovisual media course lecture diary (10 pages)
- three one-page audiovisual media exercises
None completed.
I'm not missing much either, though. Most notably some3 pages of the media education essay and two of the one-page exercises. BA essay and media culture research essay are almost done, same goes for the diary, which I only need to proof read now.
Would anyone like to read my BA essay before I hand it in? Please? For language, mainly. I might've slipped in some new mysterious typos while correcting the old ones. If there's something wrong with the content, I don't care. I don't have time to fix it anyway. The title is "Not
Quite Right: Transgression in Roald Dahl's
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and it pretty much sums up the whole content. Oh, and it's 18 pages, not dreadfully long.
Anyway. All this school work is making my head ache like hell. Adding the wonderful cramps I am also suffering from right now, you can pretty much guess I'm not feeling all that wonderful at the moment. And I
want crave pizza.
It's Miia the ex-flatmate's bachelorette party tomorrow, I heard about it yesterday. Part of me would really like to go, but the sensible part of me decided that tomorrow's a good for concentrating on media education. In a way I think it's a shame I'm not going, but I don't think Miia will be missing me too much. We were never really that close, just two people who happened to live in the same apartment and get along ok. And if my flegmatic mood is still here tomorrow, it's definitely better to stay away because I really don't want to ruin her party by being a flubber-worm.
Although I'd just really like to stay home and sleep (or go and fetch a pizza, which I can't do because I don't have the money), I'm going to the body balance class today. Besides getting some fresh air on the way there, there's a tiny chance it'll make me feel better both physically and emotionally, and thus is worth a shot.

[welcome gm!]
Finally. I installed GreyMatter a few days ago and have been struggling with it since. Now it seems to function at least somewhat properly. Hurrah!
I decided to just link my old archives.. First I thought I'd add them entry by entry (and actually did that for the first 9 months or so), but when I realised that I'd need to change the entry dates
file by file I decided it's time to start over with clean archives. It's nearly 800 files after all. No way I'm doing that.
But now. Relief. Blog that actually works.
It's funny how you don't realise how much this has become a habit until you can't post when you'd want to. Is it dangerous to be a blog addict?
On a side note, I had a really nice May Day + eve. Thanks to everyone who participated.
"Forget the body and remember the soul!"
Some May Day photos to share. There were about 100. I picked 16.
