Uhh haven't updated in a while...
Because I've been reading.
And reading.
And then reading some more.

I've been reading the whole month for the university entrance examinations, so nothing worth writing about has really happened.

So yeaaah. The last few days have been busy, however.

On Thursday I had the kind-of-official photograph taken of me in a dress and high heels and... curls in hair and student cap and such. There was a professional person doing the make-up before the pic was taken, and wow she did a great job.

On Friday I had the entrance examination. It... didn't go that well, so I'll just... start reading MUCH earlier next year...
Also, I met one of my friends while I was at Helsinki, and she told me how her life's been after she moved there... and... JESUS CHRIST HOW HER LIFE GOT SO FUCKED UP. My brains didn't even comprehend all the things she said so I couldn't do anything but just smile and nod and wonder aloud oh my, you're life certainly hasn't been boring. Things that have happened to her, I thought they happen only in the most messed up american tv-series. Christ.
I left from the exam early enough and made it to the graduation rehearsal. That wasn't nice either, since all the people around me were being SO BLOODY ANNOYING (read: usual teenagers). So... Friday was really, really shitty day and I was angry or sad most of the day.

Saturday, on the other hand, was very nice. I had to wake up early to get ready for the graduation (apparently the better term would be matriculation) ceremony/party/don't know what's the right word in english. The ceremony was nice and kinda moving, but I was pretty nervous during the part where we got our diplomas (don't know if that's the right word, either) and roses, since I was among the last ones. After the ceremony we went to the centre and started walking the march from there to the Hero Graves. It was kinda... pain. We walked on the motor road, the sun was shining, no cloud or shades, everyone was very hungry, thirsty and tired. After we arrived to the cemetary, we put our roses in front of the graves and then we were free to go home.
The home party was great, big sister and relatives were there, got lot of roses (blue and white, too <3) and a LOT of cards with money in them. Dad and granpa gave me the pocket watch I've wanted for years ( I LOVE IT and can't stop touching and carrying it with me <3). Mom gave a mug with bunnies in it (and money), one of them has a student cap. I got a pretty necklace from my aunt and a plate from dad's neighbour (whom I have never even seen) that she had painted herself. It had really pretty colours. (I also got money from dad's dance partner, whom I have never seen either, ahahaha what? :D) My relatives from dad's side couldn't make it to the party since they had another party to attend and they live pretty far from us. They gave me a cheque (NICE *thumbs up*) that was worth 440€. All in all, I got 1160€. All the studying finally paid off! Two of my friends came to see me after 6 p.m., when my relatives were gone. The other one gave me a cute badger plushie (okay, it's official; I'm a badger :'D) and the other one hadn't bought me a present yet, and she had to check if I already had it what she was going to buy.
So, a great day, though I was pretty exhausted and my feet were KILLING me (first time wearing high heels for so long... the shoes got a lot of praises, though). Matti filmed most of the day, so we have it on tape.

Today I just chilled (and woke up late).

Tomorrow... I'm going to spend that money a bit. Gonna buy a laptop, new shoes for summer and maybe some clothes (a vest/waistcoat if I'll find a good one).



Next two weeks...
MORE reading for the other university entrance examination (archeology).

Next Saturday there'll be Desucon in Lahti, I'll cosplay Shikamaru (from Naruto Shippuuden) there.

27.6 there will be a cosplay-event at Linnanmäki (an amusement park), I tried to get the uniform of Romano (Axis Powers Hetalia) from eBay, but the money I transferred to Paypal has taken more days than it should (probably my fault, I think I forgot to do one thing...) so the costume wouldn't make it in time. If that's the case, I'll cosplay Shikamaru there, too, and leave Romano for Animecon.


That's.... that's probably all for now...




EDIT: Eddie Izzard is bloody awesome.

UPDATE TIME AGAIN

Urrrm nothing much happened on last week.

On Monday I was supposed to go and lend some exambooks for the university entrance examinations, but there weren't any free at our library. So, I lazed at home. Bad me.

On Tuesday I went to search those books from the bookshop, only one was to be found, but I didn't have enough money for that, so I reserved it (book of archeology). The shop assistant sent some messages to the other cities' bookshops whether they'd have the Finnish grammar book and/or the world of religions book (which, the publishers aren't making anymore, apparently). They'll txt me if they find the religion book, and the grammar books should come to the shop this week.
I also went to search a dress for the graduation party. Found one and reserved it til Thursday.

On Wednesday I... uhhh... can't remember what I did, so it was probably nothing big... (I'm seriously starting to get worried about my memory span)

On Thursday dad picked me up at morning (well 10 a.m. is pretty much morning for me, since I usually wake up around 1 p.m...) and we went to get the graduation dress, and dad bought me the graduation cap at the same (yeah no pressures but I bought the hat for you already)...
I picked up my password for library's online account, too.
I was pretty exhausted for the rest of the day since I woke up after 7 a.m. and didn't get even 3h of sleep. Surfed on the net (while trying not to fall asleep) and later took a nap.

On Friday I'll have to go pick up that archeology-book (and grammar if those have shown up) and after that I'll leave to lu_vy's. I'll be there for the weekend because on Sunday there will be Japan Day at Helsinki and we're going there~


Er, money sure is a weird thing. Last week I had only 12€ at my account (still is, since I can't get it out from there) and today I noticed that I have over 100€ in my wallet... seriously, the heck? Not that I'm complaining. I had a real brainstorm as I was trying to figure where that all came from. Apparently most of it came from mom and dad (some of the money is for the exambooks), but I had saved some myself and got some from selling my books away. If I don't go on a spending spree at the Japan Day, I'll save those for my Hetalia cosplay (I'll probably be Lithuania, but damn, I've gotten pretty attached to South Italy, too).

I also watched Natsume Yuujinchou & Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou during this week. I'm such a sucker for japanese mythology...

Now I should go to sleep, so I'll get enough sleep. (Edit: wow does that sound wise after reading it the second time)

Was supposed to update yesterday, but was too tired. OTL

I really should update more often, I can't remember what I did from Wed to Mon...

On Tuesday I had my last japanese lesson. Going to miss senseeeeeei. And the lessons.

On Wednesday mom had a birthday. She came from work at 4 p.m. (usually comes at 6 p.m.). Before that I biked to buy her roses and a little pastry and candles for that. When she came home I started to make food and after a while she noticed the roses and the card I made for her and I got huugs~~ After we had eaten we left to flea market (bought an empty russian vodka bottle and two pink glasses...) but didn't stay there too long. I also insisted I would make coffee for mom, and she got a good laugh when there was a cup of coffee and a cute little pastry with a little pink candle waiting her in a kitchen. Urf I love her. <3

On Thursday I woke up pretty late. Mom and Matti left to Järvenpää (no idea why), so I had to go buy myself breakfast and made food for myself today, too. Also, had weird headache the whole day.

On Friday it's an Easter holiday, so no work or school for people (snort like I would do either of those).

On Saturday I'm going to Helsinki with lu_vy and we're gonna do some shopping and go to see Inkheart. We also take some ear piercings.


Also, been obsessed with Russia like whoa.


Sleep now.


  

God I'm lazy at updating...

Uh, SO... Uuumm I had the religion exam on Wednesday, it probably went worse than history. Well, we'll see, I don't want to think about them before I get the final results. After the exam I went to get ice cream with my friend and after that she came to my house. And on Thursday, too. We probably watched movies and anime and such... can't really remember.
On Friday I............ I can't remember what I did.
On Saturday I went to Helsinki with lu_vy. We were supposed to go to watch Valkyrie, but it was being shown too late, so we just went shopping. I bought some stuff, but not much. And we also visited the National Museum. Damn that place is great.
On Sunday.............. um, can't remember anything else except I watched Ai no Kotodama (for the third time)...

Now then, some random things.
- OMG MY BIG SISTER HAS MSN. And she's like, 30+. I'm kinda weirded out. Other than that, damn cool.
- On Monday me and ly_vy registered on habbo.jp.... yeah, that's Japan's Habbo Hotel. It's open from 12 a.m. to 9 p.m., which is like 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. here in Finland... when most of the people are in school or work........ or sleeping! (Well, I'll just have to get up earlier.)
- Got this huge urge to get new clothes and stuff after watching Ai no Kotodama... damn those guys had great styles!
- I also fell in love with Fazer's Salmiakkisuklaa (salty liquorice chocolate) even though I don't like salty liquorice...

... I think that's all for now.

 

FIRST DAY OF HOLIDAY and still it totally doesn't feel like it.

So I went to Helsinki with a friend, did some Christmas present shoppings and then we went to see a movie (The Fall). Which I was supposed to pay btw, but apparently that was a no-no and she paid it... SO SHE'S GETTING AN EXPENSIVE PRESENT. DAMMIT.
Presents = YEAH LU_VY I BOUGHT YOU A PRESENT EVEN IF YOU TOLD ME NOT TO WHATCHU GONNA DO?
Movie = It was pretty good and interesting, though maybe a bit... artistic.

I really, REALLY have to clean my wardrobe this weekend and put a lot of clothes away, since I don't use even half of them and they're really taking a way too much space.

On Monday me an' lu_vy are supposed to go to watch Joulutarina-movie (Um... Christmas Story?), so I guess I'll do a little shopping that day, too. And I can give her present to her then.

Oh oh oh, and wtf, Raito and L cosplayers just randomly walked past us in the streets of Helsinki. There wasn't even any event related to that? :D OH and when we went to a toystore (yeah shutup), there was this TOTALLY COOL GIGANTIC T-REX TOY/STATUE/WHATEVER, I WANTED IT SO BADLY BUT IT WAS 70€. *tear*

Rrrgh. I've been sick for a week now. Not so bad anymore, but the worst part is that swallowing, coughing and yawning hurts my throat. I also have to cough a lot before I can fall asleep.

Hmm, about the weekend.

On Friday I had fun with lu_vy in the Helsinki. She bought a couple of things for her Temari-cosplay. I bought a wallet (I'd say a purse, but you'd get the wrong picture) that I'm quite fond of now.

Saturday was normal.

On Sunday my big sister and her husband came to visit because it was Father's Day. Mah, it always makes me so happy to see her. We had coffee and cake here, and then went to grandpa's apartment with dad.
I didn't have the time to make a card for dad, so I gave him one of my drawings. And it was one of my favourites. Damn, you better appreciate it. *shakes fist*

Today was a normal school day. I have almost finished my art comission, yay for that.

Guh, I was far too tired to write anything yesterday. Thank god the weekend starts.

So, now that the fever's gone, I got a runny nose, my cough got worse and my throat is sore. Also, I have to go to school now that the fever's down. This sucks, I wish I had my fever back.

Fortunately I'm going to Helsinki with lu-vy, so at least something good is happening.

I felt a little better today and the fever had gone down a bit.

Urm... spoilers ahead?
I watched Naruto Shippuuden episodes 76-82 and crap Asuma's death was just too sad and oh my god I just loved Shikamaru in 82. Especially his and his father (mostly one-sided) conversation and Shikamaru's crying after that.
I started to like Hidan and Kakuzu, too. They act like an old married couple, and Hidan and his foul mouth and whining is kinda cute. (Also pfft, I can't believe Hidan said "Kakuzu-chan" and "with sugar on the top" to Kakuzu.)
Spoilers end.

After catching up in the anime, I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Tomorrow I would have only two hours of school (12-2), but since our art group is going to Kiasma (modern art museum) in Helsinki and we'll have to leave on 12 o'clock train, I won't have time to go to the lessons. Luckily I missed only two religion and two Finnish lessons on these days I were sick and in museum trip.
I'm still going to stop by at the school before leaving to Helsinki, since I have to give money and some papers to my teacher.

And now to sleep, I have to take a shower in the morning and get some money from the cash machine for my buss ticket.

Okay, I still had a fever in the morning and was feeling like a crap, so I called the headmaster and got a permission to stay home. Didn't do much, mostly watched tv and surfed in the net. In the evening my fever had gone down a bit, but apparently mom still doesn't let me go to school tomorrow, even if I won't have fever in the morning. I kind of would have wanted to go, because I wanted to do my art commission. On the other hand, I wanna get better as fast as possible, since I'm supposed to go to Helsinki with lu_vy on Friday.

Had the school photograph taken today.

I hurried home right after school, took the dog out, quickly went to buy some food, ate and took a train to Helsinki.

I got 67€ from the books, which was much (MUCH) more than I expected. (Also, my first time in an underground train.)

Then me and lu_vy went to walk around the centre and ooooh there was a little funfair in front of Kamppi (shopping mall). It was really nice when it became dark and there were much colourful lights and loud music that went THUMP THUMP THUMP (oh crap those bassos <3).

After walking and wandering around in the shops we went to grap something to eat. (More precisely, baguettes at Café Picnic.) Then, because I just had to buy SOMETHING (c'mon, when you get money, you just have to buy at least something, were they donuts or some completely useless junk!) before leaving, we went to wander in the shops again (at this point our feet were in paaaiiinn). There was this one hat that I reallyreallyreally liked, but it was kinda expensive, so I didn't buy it. Finally, after too many shops and sore feet, I bought a bento box from Blippo (which I almost broke right after getting back home, clumsy me - or more like, cheap ass product... and clumsy me).

Then we both headed home.

My feet still hurt, I might fall asleep in front of the computer at any minute (gonna skip brushing teeth and washing face, I'll be glad if I even make it to the bed), I missed Friends and Simpsons, but DAMN what a bloody great day. Laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

And now, Jesus Christ, the life-death-struggle to the bed.

That was... a rather boring weekend. And I forgot to go to student counsellor lesson on Friday, so I have to pick a new time for next week.

Nothing extraordinary happening next week.
On Tuesday we'll practise exiting the school in a calm and collected manner (probably because of the shooting incidents).
On Friday we'll have our school photographs taken and I'm going to Helsinki with lu_vy to sell some of my school books to Jamera that I don't need anymore.

Oh god it's going to be a boring week except for that Helsinki trip.

Blahh.

I... should do my homework and go to sleep.
