I woke up something after 4 AM, which, at least for me, is insanely early. Don't really know why.

Anyway, it was nice after all. Everything is so quiet... I started organizing some old papers, I've started to get a bit lost in all the printed material pouring on me from all directions. Among other things, I found two pieces of paper containing a French lesson, which I then enjoyed reading through—oh no, I haven’t lost my appetite for French after all. Maybe I should take a holiday in Taizé this winter? I've been planning for too long to take a year of studies somewhere they speak French. So far, it just hasn't worked out, and it seems, won't, at least before I finish my bachelor's degree. Too many things might change before getting there, somewhere around Spring 2008.

Yesterday I watched the Ingmar Bergman movie Sommarlek. Someone compared her him to the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki. Though in general I don't understand movies all that well—at least not on a very analytical level—I personally didn't see much of a connection, apart from the fact that also this movie used silence quite a bit for emphasis. Anyway, I Iiked the movie, much thanks to the overwhelming character of Marie (played by Maj-Britt Nilsson).

At work, things advance at a slow pace. I'm getting a bit impatient about finishing my current project. Yesterday, I spent about four hours in meetings. Part of that was actually the startup meeting of the project course, which was, um, interesting. We will see how that will turn out.

For the weekend, I am heading to Helsinki to see the family, and to finally get my digital camera back now that dad has fixed it. I bet all my rechargeables have died already though since I haven't used them in a long while :/.

At the time of publishing this, I’m already at my mother’s place. I configured eggdrop and played pioneers (with Iikku and Elina) till late last night.

What is this?

A Christian student writing about life, faith, software etc. both in English and in Finnish. Some photos and poetry, too. Not thinking much about whether I'm being interesting or not. See also my work blog: Moodle Quiz UI

Please comment. Anything :).

Helsinki time, GMT+2.
