Becoming a Crystallographer

This is the blog of a future crystallographer, not that crystallography is the main area of discussion. I'll maybe mention it once in a while, while writing about my life and other things.

Where do I live and other good questions

I finally got to doing things like paying back the student allowance I did not have the time to cancel and noticed that I had only cancelled the actual allowance for February and not the living help money. Now I did it again in the lovely internet service. I think the person who actually had to manually look at my case will be sort of messed up by now since I had to cancel the allowance and the housing money both now so thus I will have cancelled the allowance twice for different reasons. Complicated maybe. Then I was about to change my adress again to my sister's place but as I was doing it the starting adress was already it so I guess no point in changing the adress to that. Don't ask me where my mail will go though since my sister said that the post office had put one of those "check your adress information" stickers on my mail. So when I was in Finland and the TV payment person called me to warn about checks in "my area" I was already lost. Now I may think my sister may get one of those at her door though I said I did not have a TV as I don't. Well then Kela sends my mail here to Germany so they got my adress right at least. But I don't know why they paid me the housing help without asking which appartment it was actually for and such. Oh I have this feeling once I do get back to Finland and my appartment (if they still let me live there with the weird screw-ups with my paying the rent - oops not enough money and thus almost a month late and now with not knowing they upped the rent I paid too little and then made the change up today) all my mail will still go to some other place and I'll end up having to vote for the coming elections (I don't know when but it was in the news) somewhere really weird like Germany. Though officially I should still be living in Jyväskylä. And all would have gone right according to plan had the "6 months in Germany" plan actually happened.

Went climbing yesterday. It was great. Real exercise and yes thinking about it is making my hands sweat. They'd changed my favorite wall and now I could not get up to my favorite spot (a chimney sort of thing). Now I have to try it again next time. I'm determined to get up there. But the question is, who will come and climb with me in Jyväskylä. I'm really getting into the climbing thing now and I'd hate to have to stop because of lack of company. Though what better way to make new friends I guess. It just takes a lot of determination. And well new things by myself are at times sort of difficult for me.

The coffee machine is still broken but there is another one that costs. My boss bought me coffee today. Ok so it only cost like 50 cents but nice anyway. Our team had a nice little coffee break all together. Maybe having had coffee sort of made me more messed up while handling my student allowance, rent and adress stuff. It's all just a bit too much for just being someplace two months more. But of course it is just me making things more difficult than they need be. Oh I should get going home. Later.

    Oh, they fixed the commenting thing. Now I can sign in with my google account without leaving the comment page.
    They always screw up the address things. You haven't really gotten any urgent mail the last 6 months so why would you now? That is if you got your tax returns and all in order... ;)
    I don't know what to write... Have a good weekend!

    Been living at Kyläsaari now for over 8 months and still some organizations and businesses are sending me mail to my old address even when I've told them at least twice that I do not live there anymore. Even more trickier was to move my car club's official address as I've basicly given up on that..hehehe ;) So addresses aren't really that important anyhow, Finnish Post is REALLY good at sending stuff to their rightful owners. :)

    Organizing and organizing so I have time to visit you there. What when are you coming back to Finland (if things go as planned now)?

    Have a GREAT weekend sis!
