14. December

One day before salary, two days till the next take-at-home exam. So, quite busy still with the reading. I guess it's just as well that its now, so I have the money and time to go shopping afterwards! Can't wait till its over for now. How is it that deadlines from more courses than one end up on the same week always.... Ant that its those deadlines you cant avoid this "last minute feeling" by planning your reading/writing in advance....hmh!

We got christmas cards in the mail! Here's one! Thank you Laura!

12. December

As this day (and several more of them to come...) revolves around nutrition, food and energy intake, I figured a picture of my cats eating habits would be fitting. We have wondered at times if she is supposed to be a pig.

Study, study, study! Four days till next exam!  Nutrition physiology FTW! yeee..

7. 8. and 9. December

I just had to bulk-post these, as the last part of this week got a bit filled up with technical problems(new motherboard, ram and no functioning card-reader + internets fancy to turn on and off at will), preparations for exam, and the actual exam. So now we have it here!

7. December:
Day filled with reading, reading, reading.
This is not my actual study-table, but wouldn't it be fun if it were? Instead I have several 1000+ pages books and online lectures.

8. December:
Arne Alligator visited my workplace and held a concert for the kids! Thank you to the helpful and kind people that helped finance it! It was majorly popular for both kids and us bigger kids (="adults"). Oh and my phones camera sucks, hence the poor quality.

9. December:
I have a take-at-home-exam, straight after work. It was about immunology and food intolerance and allergies, so the fitting image of a evil looking snake from this summers visit to the zoo seems appropriate? (as no pictures of a write-frenzied Lisa was taken).

6. December

Today Finns celebrate their independence day. Most of them nursing a colorful hangover...

Me, however, have used my day off work to study prions and antimocribial peptides, been to a lecture online and gotten restless feet. And apparently, its fully acceptable to wait 1.5 hrs for two lukewarm pizzas to be delivered to your home (even if the kitchen making them are situated not 500 m from here), without any cut in price. Food hygene and quality customer service on its best.

And in the spirit of the day, I picked a picture with fitting theme in the colours. This prettyness was on my car roof the other day, natures wonders of beauty in crystalised water.

Fractured toe=restless reading for a week

....at least!

This is not mine...

I wanted to ask the doctor if I could get a copy of my x-ray, but I chickened out...
So I borrowed one from the www(link to owner of picture rights is embedded).

So now I have quite much sitting still time on my hands, as walking is not really very helping the remodeling. But I have plenty to read, ironically enough, curriculum this next two weeks is about skeleton and muscles... :P

Its just so..... very boring to be cooped up inside! Sun is shining, I want to go outside, get fresh air.... But I have to be strict if I don't want to have a weird, and painfully shaped toe....

so many ideas, so little time

I have had so much stuff on my plate lately, with two distance studies and a 6hr day job. And ofcourse; the mandatory autumn/early winter flu. All of the ideas I have had while sweating over the schoolbooks, drowzing at the couch with fever and aching muscles....

I have been so inspired lately by this genious lady, that the sewingmachine is yelling at me from the corner.

But now!
Flu is over, two mid-terms is done, and a weekly spendage of atleast 2 hours of train-time(back and forth to my new course/study), gives plenty of time. Whay more than last couple of months. I can knit on my armwarmers/jacket details, read some of the little bit more ficiton related litterature, draw up new stuff to (dream about to one day) sew, rewrite my messy lecture notes....Train is fantastic.

And the days when Im not travelling to another municipality to attend classes, I can make the bigger stuff, the patterns and experiment with making stuff like that doo-dad on the right(made by Tim Holtz, Ranger inks which by the way, has a line of products that would be appreciated under the christmas tree, please tell santa if you see him!), or spend quality time with my lovley boyfriend!

And workout sessions! hiphei! I can regulary attend again!
