Guess how many hours I slept tonight? 2 freaking hours. And I could not make myself fall asleep again. After one hour I decided I can just as well study. I just don't get it. What was wrong with me. Also this exam is even not worth all of this hullabalaa.
Countdown to exam: still two hours. Gosh. Keep your fingers crossed! It will be a miracle if my brain works at all today.

Biochem
Tomorrow I will have my first exam; medical biochemistry. Still a lot to do, but I just had to take a break. I hate the day before an exam, I just go nuts and get all the typical stress symptoms (insomnia, gastric acid overproduction, headache...). For one thing I think it is good, get some adrenaline and so on. But it just makes me so hyper and takes a lot of energy. Leads to overusage of Pepsi, food, medicines. BUT I also know that tomorrow around 10 am all this will be over, and I will just be extremely tired for the rest of the day. The following day I will be back to normal. And what is better to celebrate this with your best friends of which two are graduating!
So yes, I will take the stress (oral exams freak me out. Had some bad experiences last year...), because I know there is a great weekend ahead :)
Next exam is in two weeks, so I will also visit home for some days and hope I will get some studying done there.
Hejdå!

Starting
What better start could you probably have for the exam study time then being unmotivated, reading good books, watching the season finales of all tv-shows, hanging out with friends, staring out of the window and encourage the clouds to stop raining (hey it actually worked this morning).
Anyhow, I also have learned to enjoy reading at the library. Or overall just being able to do that. It's like a whole new world is opening itself to me! Even though I can't stand being there more than 4 hours max, these hours are probably the most efficient times of the whole week. And it is a good way of getting out of the apartment (and avoid spending a lot of money if you instead, say would go to a bookstore instead... just browsing of course!)
I have seen two great movies at the cinema lately. Red riding hood on Saturday, surprisingly good for a "adventure" movie which always follow the same patterns. Monday I saw Water for elephants, which was an amazing book, and the movie was very well done too! Still I recommend to first read the book and then watch the movie. It still has a different approach to the story.
Also I have lost my Eesti flow. That is the flow I had aquired a couple of weeks ago when I had to attend to tutor's training. I need to get it back fast, people once again don't get what I try to say (probably because of me mixing up words. At the bookstore I was asking if they had teeninud served the new True blood book. The women working there then nicely said no we have not tellinud (ordered) it yet. Fail fail big time :D
At least I am encouraging myself that somewhere along I did manage to learn Finnish. Probably at some point I will learn this equally annoying language (from the grammatic point of view). Finnish and Estonian are estimated to be just as hard to learn as you can read here. So patience, patience.

Ihanaa leijonat ihanaa
Tonight, I was finally proud of being a Finn again. Since the depressing parlament results, followed a month later by some lame Eurovision song, there has been a bit of bitter taste what my home country has done to itself. But icehockey, oh dear icehockey you saved us! I am ashamed to say that I did not watch the game, I enjoyed finishing Persuasion by Jane Austen (probably making Austen a tradition and must-read around finals, last year I read Northanger Abbey) as Paulina kindly updated me on what was happening through MSN. The joy of modern technology!
I also might add that icehockey is probably the only sport worth watching, both live and via TV. At least there is some action with real men, not some divas running around like in soccer (sorry all my soccer-playing friends...)

Check
No I am not dead, I just have had a lot to do and basically no inspiration to blog. Sorry. But now school is (almost) out, and the pre-exam time is drawing nearer. The weather is fantastic, today I had some time to enjoy it in Tartu's botanical gardhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifen. A great place for a picnic, and probably very beautiful in the early summer when everything is blooming.
While back I read a fantastic book, One day-David Nicholls. Read it!
In between I have also been to Finland. Once home and another time in Helsinki to celebrate Vappu. Both were amazing weekends, with a lot of fun and friends and family.
Sometimes it pays off to attend lectures at school. I do not have to take a central nervous system test tomorrow. Nice. Only a Microbiology slide test (recognize which pathogen it is, name it. Perform a staining and identify which shape the bacteria have).
5 weeks of school left! Can't wait for my summer "vacation" to start.
