Never deleted the previous post. Oh well, whatever...
I guess I told Laura when she dropped me off at home around 1am that I would try to go to bed quite soon. But I think I also warned her that I might not. Well clearly I'm not... Tomorrow I luckily have an evening shift so I can sleep late. Trying to enjoy the little pleasures in life! :)
Anyone having extra cash to pay for my trip to South Africa?

Nothing new has happened really but I thought to write down something anyway.
School's killing me. I'm mentally all set for the summer, but then there's all this school work that needs to be done. And two exams waiting at the very end, on the 31st of May and then summer job begins on the 1st of June - no holiday for the greedy people, I guess. Been weighing other career options - not that seriously though. Three years left, I should be able to survive that.
My dear friend, Maxeen is on her way to South Africa at the moment and I feel pretty (extremely excruciatingly!) jealous. To make my mood worse, it sleeted today. And I found out an old friend of mine passed away last week. "Old" as I knew him better a few years ago, he was only 23.
I have had better days for sure.
Tomorrow (well actually today) is full of things to do. Will try to come up with some kind of "Smoking kills" presentation and maybe a healthier lifestyle plan for myself, for school. I hope HPK wins TPS in the ice hockey match.
Wow, that was all pretty depressing. My life is not so bad really. Maybe I'll delete this blog update in the morning, if I still remember. Just felt like babbling something.

I've decided that I'm going to write these in English now. To prep my skills. //Jos suomalaisilla on kysyttävää, niin suaapi kyssyy. :) Ett' silleen... //
So life consists mostly of school nowadays. It's fun. Not sure this whole public health nurse thing is really what I'm going to do in 40 years from now but it's most likely something I'm doing in 5 years from now. Injecting others is so much fun!
Oh, but how much more fun can English lessons be! The students' skills are very versatile so the lessons are quite versatile. The nursing language is all new to me since I don't use words like "stools" or "pass wind" or "A&E" in my everyday vocabulary. But then to balance these strange words we actually do learn some grammar as well:
Situation #1 (yesterday): "Ok, class, let's take a look at these words beginning with 'im-' or in-' (impatient, inconsiderable, impossible, ...). Now, how do you turn them into their opposites?"
- Excellent, you just take the 'im' or 'in' off.
Situation #2 (today): "They usually use the 12-hour clock in the UK. Can any of you tell me how they tell 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening apart?"
- Exactly, by adding a.m. or p.m.
Does anyone else ever get a feeling when you just know you are wasting your time..?!
Just tried on new ski boots since I couldn't fit a woollen sock in the old ones. These (I'm wearing them indoors now) are way better. Going skiing with dad tomorrow! Dad used up all his energy today with 6 km. Tomorrow we'll do 10 km. We'll see how it goes... :D The 10 km route is less hilly so it should be alright.
Weighing my exchange options at school these days. First internship I could do overseas is coming up next January but the applications should be done this spring. They offer UK, India, Kenya, Nepal, ... Any advice?
