The Vappu and other blabberings
It feels like it's quite late already though it's not even three just yet. I guess it's just because my office is in a very quiet part of the building and like no-one ever walks past. So yeah, I'm slacking at work and just writing in my blog. Well I just read this article that will be a very useful source for my thesis. That's something at least.
Vappu, the big party thing that sort of celebrated the end of another year of studies for students, was this week. My sister, Elina, was visiting me and I think I had a rather good Vappu. Or like really good in actuality. Like last year I had a really good Vappu but the two years before that were not so good or rather horrible in fact if I am able to have a horrible time. But this year was nice. The weather could have been warmer but it did not matter so much once we got inside after having to drink the bottle of Freixenet I'd bought for opening after they put the hat on this statue. So we drank the sparkly wine really fast and went for Irish coffee to my favorite hangout bar. Played some Trivial Pursuit till we got way bored of not knowing the right answers, played with my and Elina's great new phones that we'd just bought and had another set of various coffee drinks. That is me, Elina and this guy. Then we went to crash the party at this other guys place and ended up going to a bar in the end. There was this band in the bar and I liked them. We also met up with another friend of mine who knew the band. After we left the bar to go home, me and Elina had to run away from like these two guys of which I knew the other. We got home safe even though because of the really long taxi line we decided to walk and it was like below freezing outside.
On Tuesday, the day after, the whole bunch of us went to have an early dinner/late lunch in the city before Elina left. It turned out to be quite a nice day. Me and Elina even went for a walk by the lake in the early afternoon. It was nice and sunny.
Usually Vappu is the time to look back to what I've gotten done during the past year of studies. This year, however, it's sort of difficult. I've been away for most of the year. Not that I haven't gotten loads of things done. I have. It just feels weird since in a way I just started my studies again after a year of like working on my thesis. I'm still waiting for some courses to start when usually I would be finished by now with maybe like an exam or two left. And now I'm like going to graduate soon. Weird. So looking back to what I've accomplished did not really work. But I suppose it does not really matter. I can look back another time.
But nothing special going on really. Working, hanging out with friends, playing badminton, climbing, going to a meeting today and to stand-up comedy and a movie during the upcoming weekend. I do have to like time to do the dishes, wash some laundry and clean my aquariums and flat. I just get bored at home and have to call someone every time I know I have a free night.
