Yesterday I had some wonderful time. I took part on the summer university's archeology excursion ("Itäistä Uuttamaata jatulintarhoista kartanoihin.") It was a lovely trip, if a little tiring (we left at 8:30 am and came back 10 pm ( Read more... )

This weekend has been full of traveling. On Friday I went to Jyväskylä to hand in the gradu for evaluation (decided to go there myself instead of just mailing it... could see some friends there also.) That trip made me a little nostalgic... there I realized that this is the last time I'm going to the department of languages (last time as a student ( Read more... )

Well. I did promise the pictures, didn't I... This post is open to everyone, so it's just places, not people. (Well... my father can be spotted in one pic, if you know him... ^^) I decided to divide this post into two, in the case someone has a slow connection. (No, there aren't that many pics.... just in case...) This be the first bunch.

I had... a nostalgia trip day today. Or something like that... This was the day for "penkkarit", you see, and as I for once a) noticed this in time and b) didn't have anything else to do (I mean... anything that would have required me to be somewhere in the middle of the day, like lectures...) I decided to go to watch it.

( If you don't know what penkkarit is... )

We spent the weekend at our summer/winter/freetime/whatever house. ^^ There was plenty of snow there. Pretty soft powdery snow... and I got to make snow angels from sauna. ^^ *infinite happiness*

Random picture spam:
SNOW on the lake. ^^
Umm... sun and shadows on the lake?
...I just like to take pics toward the sun, apparently... and I like ( Read more... )

So, there's about 33 pages of the gradu done by now (plus the translations, of course). Just posted it today to my instructor, so I'll get her opinion before I move on to the next part. I think I'll try to polish up the translations while I wait for her judgment.... and hope she won't tell me that every second page of those 33 is complete BS...It ( Read more... )

How many of you have got to ride in army's transport boat? That's what I did today. XD It was again the time for my father's working place's anniversary party, and there was a lift arranged for some visitors on a boat like that. As dad had went to the party place directly from work I had to take myself there on my own, and taking that lift was the ( Read more... )

It rained a bit at our summer home too, though we didn't get the thunder storms. For a moment it looked like it was coming straight to us, but then it just... vanished. ( And the lake was pretty afterwards... )

The weather has been really beautiful past few days. It feels like summer... but the nature is still in spring. It's so lovely, everything is blooming.

( So of course I have to share it with you... ^^ )

Flaed. I'm sure it has to be your fault (your and your interest in weird language that have no use in today's world... like Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Old French... Finnish...) that I found myself today thinking about the obligatory Latin course I had in the uni and wondering why I didn't start studying Latin as I did so well in it ( Read more... )
