Oh, lucky me

Yes as I have mentioned earlier the school has started. So I am really busy with studying and moving. Of course I was not in time to buy one school book, so I haven't had the chance yet to start reading it. It is just the first course of the season. When I look at my timetable at the moment, I do not see enough time for studying :/ So need to remember not to book anything for the fall anymore. 

Also I have just a week ago come back from the north and I haven't had the money to fill up the tank. I have been waiting for the payday to come, so I can fill it. Also I have a friends wedding tomorrow in Tampere, so I need to spend some to get there. Oh, well there seems to be some trouble with my employers bank. The paycheck has been sent out, according to the data, but no money had arrived to any of us. 

I have now informed the land lord that I will be moving out. (The office was open only three hours per day in the morning so it was a bit of a hassle to get it done.) So during next Monday between 8:00-16:00 someone will come and visit me to check that this place is still livable. Great, I just have been emptying my bookshelves so that I can but them on Facebook flea market. So now I need to put some of the stuff back, and start again after Monday. (Just because I want this place to look clean while the inspector is here.)

About the book I mentioned earlier, I ordered it to my friends place (as it was sold mainly in UK and US) and my friend sends it to me. So as a thank you I have gathered her a packet. I told her I would send it today, but that didn't happen either. Well I could sent it and use my credit card, but I rather not. As I can't be sure that the paycheck will be in my account Monday, so I rather save the little I have to last as long as I can.

First school task done

I tried to start early as I knew I did not understad the task very well. I haven't yet received my school book for the first class, but I hope I will receive it soon as I know that my friend has received it already. So I am waiting near my mail box for any mail. I need to start to organize my school stuff as they still are just a big pile of paper. I have been throughing this out (because of the move) but I am not yet ready to part my ways with my school stuff. This is going to be a small post again, as this has been hanging here for few days already.

Vacation and relaxation

All and all I had nice vacation. I was not able to let go of work thinking, and I got stressed about that. So basically I was not relaxed when I started to work again. Still it feels very tiresome to open my computer and to start working. I intend to keep working for this company at least untill I come back from Canada. I intended to write more about the vacation and relaxation but having kept this blog open for two hours now, I decided just to make a quick post and not write anything specific.

Work wear

This is today's work wear for me. The shoes have 13 cm heal. So far have not used these outside as it has been raining. Maybe one sunny day.
I add this to my blog as well so that all of you that are not my fb friends can see this too :)

School et al

Last week I spent in Tornio with my sister's family. The main reason why I went there was because my school started. Like 6 months ago the teachers laid down their demands for us. I hope that this time they will be following through with them. One other surprise was that there was about 10 people less than when we started. Not even the teachers knew if they had dropped out or what. I think that people should not go to school if they are not going to stick with the program. There might be others who desperately want to start this, but were not chosen (but are in line if someone drops out in the beginning). 

One thing that I find most terrifying is that we are to write more academic. (Yeah, I was not that successful at it last semester.) We already got a list what words not to use... Like, think, you, kind of, sort of... Also we should drop these in our spoken presentations as well. So I need to stop and think a bit more of what I am going to say. I am pretty sure I will not get a good grade from this course.

One annoying thin: The teachers were not able to do or follow a timetable! How hard can it be? We the students followed the instructions that we were given. For example we had a company visit. Based on the first glance to the timetable we were not supposed to go anywhere. The teachers told us later that we would actually be going to the company that was located 20 km north from school. Also we were told an hour before the exact time when we were supposed to be there. No directions what so ever was given, we found out about it ourselves. The students were the first to arrive, then the organizing teachers. Other teachers were last to arrive, they were also 15 minutes late...

We also got some pressure on our Master's Thesis. I still do not know where I would do it to. I know that I would like it to be something to do with improving processes (working together or actual process of doing something). But it doesn't help me when I need to have a company to do it to. I have few ideas from friends, which I might need to follow through. The only problem is that if I am in Canada, I might not be able to do them. So I might have to move home earlier than I had planned. Also my move is probably going to be a bit later (in the end of January) due to the contact days.

I took and fetched my niece and nephew from day care to help my sister and brother in law. This meant that they were able to work a bit more on those days. Unfortunately my niece got migraine and had to spent few home days. Luckily her granny and grandad were able to help. The problem with my niece is that when she gets migraine she will throw up (to help with the pain). 

Hmmm, have I forgotten anything? Oh, yeah on Friday I baked few pies for my sister to take to her workplace. As she will be quitting in few weeks she will need to take a farewell something. Some have taken cakes and some pies. So as I do pies best, I did some for her. They are now in the freezer, so no extra furriness ;)
