The monkey with a jungle appartment

I had a really nice weekend. It was quite surprising actually. I ended up suggesting to my boss that we go to Luxemburg on Saturday since she had nothing to do either with missing the plane. We were going to go until we decided it was not such a good idea with it raining and all. It is like 200 km to Luxemburg from here. A bit too much for a day trip really. We ended up going shopping. I bought another plant. I just could not resist. Well I could have but did not want to. Now my old and new plant are both also in bigger pots. My appartment is a lot more lovely. My boss bought two big plants. I wanted a big one but that I could resist. We also took the dogs for a walk so I got to do that too. I ended up going home at midnight after watching the Matti (Nykänen - famous finnish ski jumper) movie. I just wanted to see it for cultural reasons. It was quite thought provoking actually.

On Sunday we went climbing. Like on walls. I was really afraid I just could not get up a wall at all since I haven't really been doing much with my arms lately and well neither with my feet so much. My fear was really uncalled for. I did great. I'm thinking of starting climbing as a hobby. We are also going tomorrow. I might buy equipment. A starter kit is like 110eur or so. But putting money on excercise equipment is like putting money on my health and well-being. It is always worth it. I'm thinking about it. So who wants to come climbing with me when I come back to Jyväskylä? I'll be needing someone to hold the ropes in case I fall. It's way fun. At least I think so but I was a monkey as a kid so it's really no wonder.

Yesterday when I walked into German class and went to take my seat I was surprised to find the seat next to me, where there is usually this man from Iran (or somewhere there) with whom I do all my pair work, taken by some other new and older man. I was like "uh oh, can I sit there next to him? Will he think it weird that this blond girl just walks in and sits next to him" so I fiddled with my bag and took a really long time to sit down and got my things on the table while still standing and all trying to decide which seat to sit on. It was very weird. I ended up sitting next to him since there are not usually so many seats free and the other seats next to me would probably all be taken. So I sat down and tried to pull my chair a bit further from him without it seeming obvious just to give myself and him some space. After I sit down I start thinking and looking around and can't figure why the teacher is not treating the new person like she usually treats new people. Then she comes over and talks to the man next to me giving him some copies of things. Then it hits me. This is not a different new person. This is the same person I do my pair work with only with grey in his hair. I was way surprised since I though the person was like 30 maybe or could even have been younger than me since one never really knows. But suddenly he has like grey hair and is at least 45 or something. I think he got a haircut. I was kind of embarrashed since I had not greeted him properly being all weird thinking he was someone else. This kind of thing has never happened to me before.

I find myself not having time. Well mostly now it's because I did not do laundry on Sunday like I was supposed to and now the earliest I will be home for two hours without it being before work or after German class at like 9 will be on Friday most likely. Tomorrow I'm going climbing and German class today and Thursday. I can't do laundry till Friday. I actually don't have time to go properly grocery shopping till Friday. I haven't got much more than sandwich supplies at home. (Yesterday I bought fruit for smoothies.) I have to eat something. I'll try to go shopping on my way home again. Where's all my time gone? I gotta hurry now.
