I can't see the end of my term paper. Getting on my nerves, I say! Aside from that feeling goodgoodgreat. I can't stop thinking about NYC, even
though I still have the Death Cab -mania before that. In 12 days, to be exact. Everything's just so much fun, like playing some three hours of Tekken last
night at Jenny's. And for the weekend I'll go to my parents' and on Sunday to Tampere before coming back here. So the question remains: Will that term paper ever
be finished? Six days. I've probably never worried about any school work as much as this one. But it'll be alright. Next week I won't talk about writing it
any more, that's for sure!
The funniest memories came into my mind this morning when I woke up. I've had such good 21,5 years of living! And getting better, it seems.

Hard times! Got the last two of my wisdom teeth pulled out today, wasn't much worse than with the first two but for some reason the anesthesia felt
stronger. Jenny has a video of me eating yoghurt with half of my face still numb.. worth seeing, really. But now this is it, no more teeth left to be pulled out!
AND I wrote some half a page to my term paper, so 8,5 to go! As many pages as there are days before the work is due... Oh, it'll be alright. I'm convinced after
writing that half a page in just a few minutes. Just BANG! and there it was. Yes, should be kicking myself because of this lazy-ass attitude, really. No one else
has volunteered (yet).
Tomorrow work from 10 to 1830, then maybemaybemaybe to a party. Did I say maybemaybemaybe? Meant ofcourseofcourseofcourse. Right across the street, there ain't no such
option as to not go. Bet I'll be exhausted but that lot will cheer me up. Certainly.
The most interesting lecture courses in my academic career have now started. The Making of Canada and America in the world, 1945 to present. And by
the nicest lecturers. I know I'm studying something that I really do want to study. I just love it. Wish there was only a way to make a living with a degree like mine.
Let's not worry about that, though. 40 days to NYC!!

A day of disappointments and new possibilities. Was really depressed this morning when I found out that the ERASMUS-exchange program is not for me.
Only one university in Britain where I could apply to, but it's in Wales and I want England. I guess Lampeter's not too far from England but still, I was
disappointed. However, it feels like there are a million other ways to spend the next academic year in England. Just not in an academic way. Which is, of course,
even better! Loads of vacancies available through EURES. I'll go have a chat with a EURES councelor in Turku, might be useful. Also, I'm thinking about Nordjobb
but I do feel I'm lacking some Swedish skills.. But I might as well go for it.
I wouldn't be too surprised if I were to loose my job in the course of this spring. There are some serious changes going on and I know that if someone has to be
"let go", it'll be me. Since I'm still somewhat new. I'm not going to worry about it too much, though, since they'll probably try to work things out so that no one
goes unemployed. Counting on it!

So no more LiveJournal, peu_perdu or _baobao_. Or Finnish, come to that. Done with it. Hope you found me.
I try not reveal too much stuff here (not that I would regret anything I ever said in LJ but might be better to go for mysterious this time..)
but instead to let you know what I'm up to and where I'm going et cetera. So drop by every now and then and
if you like, you can share some of your thoughts in my guestbook.

I haven't really gone anywhere. I'll just rather be sharing some thoughts here from now on.
