Päivärintä mailed me yesterday and asket that I should reconsider my decision about quitting the Europe's robbery-class. He thought that culture history would especially interest me and that places where we will go are carefully picked. Päivärinta also said that the clay-work is only a art part of the course and it shoudn't crucially effect on my final grade. It seems like I will going to the course because I need to win my fears and enjoy my time with Hanna and Laura because we don't have much of same classes. We won't have even a one same class in the second period and in December I am in Holland and in mid January I'm in Swaziland.
I sent a mail to Päivärinta and said I'm continuing the course. YES,I'M A COMPLEX PERSON. But I'm not continuing economics.
I got a mail from Narri and it seems like I'm still in a theater club and that's odd because I didn't like acting at all. Fortunately my friends didn't see me when we had our premier and three others shows, only Mira came to me and Hanna and Laura tried but they failed (DDUUDES!). Our show was dreadful.
Me, Mira and Pauliina were yesterday at city. Our plan was to go Kaivopuisto to see fireworks but when we were at Railway Stations and saw what was condition of many people we decided to go somewhere else. People were drunk and throwing up and it wasn't even eight o'clock and Laura from Kirkkonummi came to meet us and she was ssssoo drunken. I haven't met my friends drunken before and it made me feel kinda sad and hopeless.
Laura soon went to somewhere else and I desperatly needed culture around me so I suggested to Mira and Pauliina that we should go to Akateeminen (the largest Finnish book shop). We were there for a half hour because the shop was closing and soon after that we were at Kauppatori, near pier and we chatted, talked about the world and laughed to almost everything. The evening was nice, clouds were beautiful and colours of the sky, oh my god, they were so pleasant. It looked like someone had painted to sky, used sky as canvas and it was amazing sight to see. It darked fast, people were still drunken, there was a boat which was evo and so on. We were not only one in Kauppatori, there was bunch of people and at 10.30 PM Kauppatori was full of different kind of people.
And then the fireworks started - you coudn't see anything from Kauppatori. People were so fuxxing disapointed, we decided to walk to somewhere also and after half hour we're far away from Kauppatori but we saw some fireworks. Mira and I bought ice cream, we watched silently the fireworks and the last one gorgerous, glamourish and beautiful. After that we took a tram and it was packed of people, it was hard to breath and it was difficult to stay up. City was damn crowded, I said goodbye to Pauliina and Mirap and took a bus to home at 0.30 AM and the bus wasn't empty. There was a traffic jam after midnight and it was awful, it took for ten minutes to get outside of Hakaniemi and I almost fell asleep in the bus.
I had a nice day yesterday. It was fun and I loved my friends.
I want to publish a book before I turn eighteen. It might be difficult because I'll be eighteen next year and I don't any time to make anything. But I've twentyseven poems and if I make about 50 poems more I could send them to LIKE or Tammi or Otava.
About IB. It starts on January and I'm in trouble. I need 40 points to get in Princeton or Yale or Berkeley or Middlebury or Columbia. The most depressing thing about Development Studies is that you need to read economics as part of your studies. Actually everything what I'd like to study contains economics. But back to IB. 40 points is almost impossible to student like me, especially because now I am going to Waterford which is the best African IB-school and one of the world's best IB-school. There will be competation and that will make everything much harder. And the sickest point is that my English is poor - almost everyone in WK have been studying in English and only a few haven't. My IB-choices are Finnish A1 (Standard Level), English A2 (Higher Level), History (HL), Geography (HL), Math Studies (SL) and Environmental Systems (SL). Gosh. IB will kill me because in Africa I'll have much more to do than school.
40 points. How will I get 40 points from 42 (don't count EE or TOK)? Math Studies will be a piece of cake but everything else will be much more harder, especially history. One year will be World's History and another year we will have AFRICAN HISTORY. African. Yes, it sounds interesting but I don't know anything about it.
Gee. I need to get to US with a scholarship. I don't afford to blow this up.
