I wish i could go see them next week at Ruisrock too!

Before going to the concert, i sent my beloved boyfriend to Iceland! He’s there now until July 5th, and it’s superstrange to be home alone
Luckily I got the animals to keep company, tho it’s so darn hot that they just lie about and eat a bit.
It’s getting too warm to be inside, so am off to the beach! Enjoy the summer! (Oh btw, I’M ON SUMMERHOLIDAY WOOOOOOOOO)

There are just those days in life,that turn you into a total emo.
I’m having one of those days I think. My back is not good, i got a ruptured disc on my lower back. We keep arguing over stupid things with Kjarri, even he’s leaving tomorrow to Iceland for week and a half. Makes me just want to stay in bed and moan until it’s all over.
There’s so much good stuff too. Outi and Jani had a healthy babyboy yesterday, congratulations again, fantastic job popping out lovely kids
I’m gonna go see Faith No More tomorrow, also awesome.
Yet am moaning, what a dizzy cow. Should handle stress better.

Hi!

It has been so much up and down and up and down lately, dunno what to say.
I should start with some great fantastic news, most important being we’re gonna be auntie and uncle!
My beloved sister is going to give us a little god-daughter (or son, but i reckon it’s a girl), right before christmas )
Also, I got in school!! Imma be an animal care-taker! I’m going to be what am meant to be! Am going to work with animals when I grow up! Oh the happiness!
Kjarri got me a tiny pink laptop for my school too, it’s supercute and handy, yay for Kjarri! <3

To balance life, there has to be bad stuff too. We lost a beloved person from our lives. A man was taken too soon, but his sky-blue eyes and kick-ass attitude
will outlive us all. I hope Pasi rests in peace, and I hope you all remember how precious life is, even when the lows hit you. Tell your loved ones they are the loved ones

Up or down, the summer is now here, somewhere behind the clouds the sun smiles on us all. To quote great thinker David Brent quoting another great thinker Dolly Parton:
“If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta stand the rain”

Hugs and other hippystuff!

It’s drawing closer! The day is almost upon us!
In merely 13 days I will be getting ready to fly to Iceland. The flight leaves from Finland at 15:55 and I arrive in Keflavík at 15:55.. Pretty good, huh?

In other news, I went to Helsinki yesterday to have a chat with a company about a possible employment. The place is really nice and the people seem nice. The job is only for 3 months but at least it would be a start here, and given the situation almost everywhere in the world, I would be happy to get just anything.
I was one of 4 people getting into the interview with over 40 people applying for the position. I’m pretty pleased with that
I’m going to hear from them again by the end of next week and by then I should know if I got the job or not.

This is the last week at the work-practise now, tomorrow is my last day to be exact. Then next week I have the rest of the finnish tests, the “speaking” and the “understanding spoken”.
I haven’t had awfully much practise here with the speaking since I’m mostly by myself, but I’ve picked up a word or two from the finnish versions of Windows and such *nod*.

Now, off to save the world! Once again!

Now I’ve started working in the work-practice place and it’s quite allright.
I’m not a busy guy at work and I don’t speak as much as I thought I would, mostly I’m left alone by myself and given jobs where I don’t communicate much.
I don’t have any responsibilities except for making coffee (which tastes terrible ), but that’s quite normal since I’m here for only three weeks.

I have the ticket to Iceland now!! WOOOO!
I’ll be arriving on the 24th of June, yeeee! So get ready!

Back to hanging around and doing not-so-much! Bye!

Little Nikki had a birthday today, she’s now 1 year old!
That’s quite old for such a young child!

Here are pictures from the party!

I’ve completed the first batch of the tests for Taso 2 and overall I think it went quite ok, I haven’t gotten the results yet but I have a feeling I might have passed. The second batch of tests (spoken and listening part) are after the työharjoitelu (work-practice).

Now there are big changes coming up, I’m going to work-practice … Which means that I will be working for 3 weeks and if I’m lucky, longer. This is not a “training phase” (like the 3 month period in Iceland), it’s merely 3 weeks that I get to hang around and do some very basic work.
People have been getting permanent jobs after these kind of practices so I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that they still need 1 more nerd and are recruiting.
I have a spot in a company called PT Solutions and it’s close to home, so it’s really perfect. If this works out good and I get a permanent spot, it might be that I have to postpone the trip to Iceland. Everything will be revealed in good time!
If on the other hand they don’t need 1 more, there’s not much for me to do over the summer, except wait for Taso 3 which starts in August.

Now that I’ve almost finished Taso 2 in Salpaus, that’s the second level of finnish language, I can understand way more than before. I know why words look this way (or I think I know) and now it’s mostly about practicing and getting some of those rules into spoken everyday language.
Although, the finnish language has a written language and then they have another variant for the spoken language, so not all of the rules apply in the normal spoken language.
We went to Porvoo yesterday and I have some pictures for you to enjoy from there!

Once upon a time, in a long lost land.. There were people who blogged. We are those people.

Spring is here, and it’s green and warm. The temperature is around 15-20° and I’m not used to this kind of heat It’s gonna take a little while to get used to when you are used to 10-14° on the nice summer days.

Job-hunting is still going on but there’s really nothing available, at least I haven’t found anything yet.
The final tests for the 2nd level in school is in about 2 weeks and after that we head off to job training. Maybe I’ll impress somebody with my awesome jobbing-skills and they want me to stay after it Maybe!
The class is going to Porvo next monday, which is a mighty nice small town about an hour from Lahti. I’ll be taking some pictures  and I’ll be putting them on the internet!

In other news, I might be coming to Iceland very soon. Sooner than you might think. And I might just show up on your doorstep asking for coffee and an American Style burger. We’re just seeing how we would fit everything together. If everything goes smoothly, it might even be only a month from now, around the 20th of June. But I’ll keep you posted!

For now, I have to go to school. Bye.

Indeed, indeed.
There’s not awfully much wild things happening in my life, smooth and lovely sailing.
Spring is letting us wait for herself, it’s still very cold, luckily the sun is out tho. Olga has also noticed that, and is back in business.
I’ve missed Iceland lately myself, can’t wait to go shopping in Kísan (need a lot of money) and seeing books in Mál og Menning and specially, can’t wait to
go to Prikid for Two Amigos and beer
Easter is coming up, and I’m so happy to be grown-up, I can buy choco-eggs whenever I want to! Yay for eggs, boo for rules!
As you might have noticed, Kjarri made a fancy new look for our website, and I really like it!
If  you are feeling very VERY tired, please go to Youtube and search “shrimp running on treadmill with Benny Hill music”, I promise it’ll kill you. (Good kill, not the kind of kill
that actually makes you dead)

Latorz.
Henna
p.s. Also look up a show called Pasila, if you haven’t already, PURE WIN!
