The coins

I actually got some writing done today. Way hey. Now I have like 20 pages. Some of the pages still contain mostly heading and I will probably rewrite like most of the text but its something none the less. This is for the theoretical part of my master's thesis. It should be at least 50 pages I guess. A long way to go still I guess.

I went to get chips from the junk food vending machine today and got the first Finnish coin for my euro collection. Yes. How grand. I was like "I haven't got one of these yet" and it's true. Well I guess it's sort of silly but I really don't. I don't know if I've written about my collection yet. I must have. The other funny part is that I have not got many Greek coins even though I was just there this summer. I also don't have many Spanish coins though I was there just last year. I guess that's what you get for only starting to collect now. The thing that got me doing it was getting one coin from Luxemburg. Or actually two of the same. So I was thinking if I am ever to start collecting, now would be a good time. Not that I have many other hobbies here anyway. Now I just have to pay for things with the German coins so that I will get as much change back as possible and then when most of it ends up being German, figure out a way to spend it off. I end up having lots of change at times and then again sometimes I spend it all and end up not having money to buy junk form the vending machine.

I even figured out a genious place to keep my collection - a box that used to contain Irish whisky and cream liquer chocolates. Ten palces for ten countries that I had (no Finland and no Irland). Now I have to figure out where to put my collection of Finnish euros and the Irish ones I will collect when going there. I must still be missing a country but I can't figure out what it is.

Oh but it's off to the store now. Maybe I'll get some new coins. I have tons to buy since it's my once-a-week wednesday grocery day. I need to get tons of fruit for smoothies.
