Miracles still happen :D

Above: Frog's bloodsmear. This we have actually seen in the microscope for ourselves :)


I passed my last week's Histologytest! And I got a C! Wohoo! Even though I wrote stupid stuff like that the dermis has layers like: basement membrane (acutally right!), Growth layer(?), Death cell layer (?). I was actually laughing trough the whole test I thought it was that hilarious x)

Today was the Estonian exam, and I can pretty surely say that I will pass! Hope the same goes for this week's histology. I will promise to start studying histology properly. Since it's a really nice subject and the stained cells/tissues are really beautiful! In general the human body is just so amazing. For those who don't know what histology is exactly can click here. (It's so funny, all the teachers are refering to Wikipedia, even though at my former school, Arcada, Wikipedia was banned and you would fail your paper if you used it since it's not scientific material...)
Also as we now study the cranium and I found that it's just beautiful when you can see the places where veins have been and formed lines in the skullbone. Then the also the diffrent bones of the skull are connected by diffrent types of so called suturae and one has this sawlike edges and it forms also a nice and artistic edge there on the skull... I can easily love stuff I can learn easily. Like the bones. Stuff like the joints are more a pain in the ass and banned x)
I have been thinking about sneaking a bone into my bag and take it home as a souvenier... But I would probably look so guilty that they would stop me at the doors and take it away.

Well about last week:
Mum&Alicia did visit me. It was great having them here, but in some way I couldn't be really happy during they stay, and I feel really bad about it. Since it had nothing to do with them, just that I relaxed and let all the frustration show. Which was not a good thing to do. I just miss everybody at home and it's sad when you know they have to leave soon again. I got to be in Helsinki Saturday-Sunday, and had some pretty intense days with meeting people. Irene was in town from Stockholm, so I met up with her, which was great, I've been missing talking and seeing her. Then a quick shower at Linda's place, then meeting the Arcada-girls. Amazing how things still can be just like before even though we don't go to the same school anymore! And after that to the Gold&Green Ball at church. Some people's reaction about seeing me there were worth the whole trip: "Lara you should be in Estonia. Wow I don't get it, WHY ARE YOU HERE. Totally unbelievable!". Talking to people there was super, being around and feeling the atmosphere. On Sunday I went to my old branch and met a lot of old friends there too. I even had time to go to Leppävaara and meet Jenny. Sorry Jenny for me being so tired. I basically slept nothing during that weekend...!
It's quite interesting how people better keep in touch with you, and how you yourself keep better in touch with the people in your life when your abroad. Almost like your grasping and gathering all your friends together and make sure you don't lose them. I hope to bring this spirit into normal life too, because it sure would make things a lot easier. Amongst other things you also forgive and forget easier. And you get a whole new perspective on things when you're taken away from the normal environment.

Well with Mum&Alicia we did go to all shops in Tartu it feels like it at least. Mum bought some clothes and we went to a massage together at their hotel. Was sore the whole weekend after that!! But it was effective and CHEAP! 45min back+neck massage about 17€! So I will definitly come again!

I think I need to get some order into my life, and I came to this conclusion even before Mum yesterday had a bit of a moral preach about how the keys of my own happiness lies in my hands. I just need to use it. Well I think I also know where the problem lies, I should focuse on the important stuff in life. I have been promised great things in life. I have family and friends at home who support me 100%. I finally study what I want, and get proper challenges from my studyprogram. I have friends in Tartu. I have an own apartment. Etc. etc.

Wow I am thinking positivly! Yeee! Way to go. Now I probably do some (non-educational)reading, I have like 9 books here. Which is nothing; maybe that's why it still doesn't feel a 100% homey here?! Sorry I'm just a bookfreak. They're friends and nice to look at. One never knows what is hiding inside them :)
So anyhow, I want to start reading a new book, since I haven't any panic-studying ahead so it would be a good timing. Bye bye!
