one year

Yesterday was our 1-year anniversary with J. No gifts, it was decided, but I got a flower! It was the first time during this relationship... :D (a bit more often would be nice, just a hint...haha)



It's not often that we go to eat in a restaurant, so that's how we decided to celebrate the anniversary. There were many options but after all we turned to the Chinese restaurant which is always a good choice. The food was good and we rolled away from the restaurant as we were so full.




The last time I updated was almost a week ago, when we had the season's first snow. It didn't last long but the temperatures have stayed quite low so I guess we'll have more of it soon. On Friday we had a halloween party with some friends (and some people I didn't know before). I dressed up as a witch and my dark make up was made by a friend. First we were in one's place but then we went on to the Club Aussie Bar (in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki) where they had a good halloween party already going on. People mainly had some halloween costumes but there were also some boring ones, haha.




On Sunday I was at work and we had a rush the whole day long. I was quite exhausted when I got home. On Monday I had a long day doing school stuff, as we first had an interview with one company's sales manager, then I met a group from another course, and then I still had a lecture that lasted 'til 6pm. On Tuesday I was at school & at work, and yesterday I already told about. Today I first met one group in order to make a safety plan (of 22 pages..) for the event we are organizing. Then we had a guided tour in Paasitorni & hotel Scandic Paasi (in Hakaniemi, Helsinki), it was quite interesting and I got a business card from the marketing manager - in order to ask for possible internship possibilities. It would be so interesting to get a chance for the internship as a marketing assistant in a big company like that (consisting of hotel, restaurant, congress and event business)!





So no, I still can't say my life would be too boring, so much stuff to do. And it doesn't seem to calm down. I'm stressing about a few projects 'cause I want to get them well done, as well as about the internship thing. I have counted on the fact that I would get an internship from January onwards, but what if I don't?? I have asked from 5 places now, three of them are still open so I haven't heard from them yet, but two already answered that it's not possible. I'm still going to contact the Paasitorni's marketing manager and I'm also waiting for our school to start looking for marketing interns for the spring. I need to get an internship for the spring... But it's not easy as I know what I want and I'm quite demanding (I don't want to go to a hotel or a restaurant as many of the students from my degree; and I want to be paid for the internship - many of them are not paid). Well, let's see, I just wish I would get a positive answer soon, or at least a possibility to be interviewed!

Now I'm gonna finish with one portfolio. Wish me luck with the internship places! Bye :-)


this is waiting for me for the event we are organizing ;)

the beginning of a new, rainy week



No school today and I still had to wake up at 7 o'clock... because of the dentist. I went there, I had a check up and I was out. useless.... but maybe the first time I got to leave without any further actions. She just said that I should book an appointment at the beginning of 2014. Fine by me! Btw, the weather is soooo depressing. When I left at 8am, it was so dark and rainy and cold and... ugly :(



So I came back home after 9 o'clock and now I'm thinking whether to go back to bed or not... maybe for a little while. or maybe I'll take a nap a bit later. I have an evening shift at work so.. Tomorrow I'll have a lecture in the morning and also an evening shift, on Wed - school, on Thu - school, on Fri - school, on Sat - work. Sunday = free!

Last week I was at school every day and at work on Saturday. After work, we went to the movies with J, after a long time! We went to see Savages (Raakalaiset) which was about drug dealing business and stuff. Not an easy movie but it was quite ok!



By the way, now that I bought the mini laptop, I guess it's finally time to give my MacBook to J's friend for reparation.. I know I'm gonna feel empty without my Mac! I got it over 3 years ago so it's not easy to give it away, even for a while. I hope the reparation is not gonna take many days. And I hope it's in a better condition when I get it back. Lately it has been very slow and overheated easily so it needs some fixing. I actually moved all my files to an external hard drive and then I deleted everything from the mac (more than 15 000 files.. I seriously hope that the external hard drive won't get broken!), so now it's ready for reparation.



And PS. even though I promised I wouldn't buy anything after the mini laptop, I still NEEDED to go to Hullut Päivät on Sunday (the last day of sales) and I bought a scarf, mittens, facial wash and candies... whoops. But from this day forward, I'm not allowed to buy anything unnecessary!



Ok, now I start doing school stuff (again..). Have a great week!

no problems to take a computer with me to wherever I want as it weights only about one kilogram ;)
(but, MacBook, you are still my number one!)

blah studying blaaaahh


a summary of two books (about CRM, 4 pages) - returned
an assignment about functional foodstuff (6 pages) - returned
an article about fast food trend in English (4 pages) - returned
an essay about organizing festivals (9 pages) - returned
a project plan for the neuromarketing project & powerpoint presentation - returned


oh god im getting crazy with all the school stuff..! but it feels so good when you get something returned... for example; we have been aware of the essay assignment since the beginning of September (but of course i couldn't get it done before). it has been in my mind since then but i haven't had time to do it as i've had so many other things to do. today was the deadline day. i've been working a lot on that essay since Monday and today I finally got it returned - an hour before it was too late. i feel so relieved!


Yesterday it was time for this fall's Hullut Päivät, 5 days of sales in Stockmann (every spring and fall). I came home from HP with three bags even though I wasn't supposed to buy anything special.... it's always the same! Today I went there again but I only bought headphones that I have been meaning to buy for many months. I still have a few things I have to go and buy...... bye bye salary..!

For the weekend I have two assignments to do. This week I go to work only on Saturday, next week I have three days of work again.. well well. luckily two of my courses finish at the beginning of November, so then I'll probably have at least some free time? what does it mean? free time?!

okay. big brother time and then a bit of school stuff and then to bed. see you!

music music music

As I'm trying to avoid the school stuff (essay, 7-10 pages, title: organizing festivals, deadline on thursday, interesting huh?), i've found some music i've almost forgotten! God I remember when I couldn't stop listening some of these songs..








And many many others... so nostalgic to listen to these! :-D
