This is what I should be doing: (stupid Organic Chemistry (I love it really!)) and here is what I am actually doing: a book called 365 Gece Masali - 365 bedtime stories, all less than 4 paragraphs, and in really easy Turkish. I wonder if there is anything similiar I will be able to get in Finland!. Anyway, you can see that I'm not doing what I should be. Exams are looming and I set this weekend aside to do studying, yet find myself drawn to the wrong books. Today has been so grey and miserable; I am quite surprised that it hasn't rained. My sky at the minute is pale bluey-grey, with a smattering of those clouds that look like the top of a lake. There is a faint orange tinge as near to the horizon as I can see. I can't wait for summer.

I was getting quite frustrated last night. I was scouting hotel/hostel prices in Helsinki last night, just to feed my curiosity. I found a decent hostel thats nice enough, and not too pricey. Anyway, on the hostels website were links to other Helsinkiania. One such link was Stockmann-Akateeminen Kirjakauppa. I got browsing to see what heaven looks like, and saw a copy of Tuntematon Sotilas and Täällä Pohjen Tähden Alla in English! I decided to buy, seeing as how I've been dying to read them both since I heard of them a couple years back. And although there was delivery to the UK, some error in Finnish kept coming up, that no dictionary nor translator could translate. I'll just have to wait until I am there myself... It seems so long away.

I forgot to share my annoyance from the other day aswell. I was 'whoring' myself out in another community (Hey, I'm just networking, don't judge), and I mentioned Matt in my introduction, not by name, but by saying "I have a great boyfriend". Some guy posted: "Boyfriend? Are you a girl?", as you can see here. As you can imagine, I wasn't best pleased, but I was as sarcastic and bitchy as the moderators would allow. I felt better after that. 

I have nothing much to share really - this weekend is going to suck. But I am looking forward to going to London on Friday to see Ezgi. At long last, a time when it is just me, James, and Ezgi. Just like old times. Also, did anyone notice my journal and friends page now have titles? They've never had ones before, and I could never decide what to call my journal, until I found the old Finnish proverb you see above. I think it quite accurately describes my feelings on life since I started my journal (unless I got the wrong end of the stick), which in recent months has much more of a positive tone. 

I can hear fireworks going off somewhere nearby. They are getting louder.
