Out with Kassu

Today, when I went out with my sister's cat, Kassu, he had way too much fun.
First of all he decided not to shut up before I had taken out... And I had just sat down to eat after washing the dishes and cleaning the toilet. But he just wouldn't stop meaowing!
So I took him out and we both boiled in there! I was at least over15 C and I was wearing a thick hoodie! -.-
Anyway, he was chasing all the little buggies in there, bumblebees that were still a bit disoriented, butterflies  and even a bee of some sort... And I do think he ate a fly or two...
When I brought him in he was panting and almost wouldn't let me brush him - I mean, he doesn't like it to begin with, but he doesn't usually get this violent! I brushed him as best as I could, closed the balcony door to get him to calm down (although I'm still boiling here) and let him be.
So, now he's slept for a couple of hours and then ate and drank some water and now he's sleeping again.

I'm really going to miss that little critter when I go home tomorrow. But at least I'll be able to close the curtains in my room, unlike in the living room here. I've been waking up before eight every morning here, because the windows are to east.

A very quiet Good Friday

I just this week realised how good our group at school is. <3
We have a good spirit in the gang - if we have something bothering us, we can say it. And if we've got some problems, even if they have nothing to do with school, we can ease our hearts to each other. I love this group of girls!
We've getting a bit nervous about the trip - the six of us that are going. I really can't wait to go! I wish it was the 8th of May already! *bounces*

Anyway, I'm now at my sister's, spending the Easter weekend here, all alone. I'm house and cat sitting when she+hubby went to see our relatives in Sweden. It's very relaxing to get away from home a little, though I'll miss mum's Easter lunch. I'm going to start doing school stuff a bit tomorrow, 'cause I couldn't today as I had a splitting headache. Cat slept almost the whole morning on his green armchair and he's been following me around all day, too. He's the sweetest!

Now I plan on drawing something and still going to watch a film, either Totoro or maybe some Austen...

Busy Saturday

Today, I woke up at about nine, but got up at ten. That's surprisingly early, considering I had fallen asleep at four. XP

After that I finished a drawing and was on the computer a while. Then I decided to go out for a bit. Mum had asked me to gather some willow branches, with catkins on them. I was walking around for about hour and a half. It was very nice, it's warm and sunny today. After I came home, I fixed lunch; roast chicken and rice... Very simple and easy.
And as they were cooking I tidied my room. Food was good and it's nice to have a clean room for a change... though I still need to look through my closet, so I can get a spot for my new HUGE suitcase - it's almost a trunk, really.

Now, I've eaten, dad's fixed my bike - with little bit of help (mine), I've arranged the little branches of willow into a vase, I'm quite ready to take a little nap before sauna and starting a new book, Susinainen by Pirkko Arstila.

A perfect Saturday, really. Very busy, but still I feel relaxed.

This week, what a hustle!

But only in a good way.

On Monday, I had my hair cut for the trip to England. It's the sexiest haircut ever! I love it. And I've had very positive feedback on it, too.

On Tuesday, I had a job interview in the library and after that I went to study downstairs there. On Thursday the woman called me and told me that I've got the job. It's in June, from June 6th on. So I'm very happy about that.

Wednesday was a bit weird. I had been very restless on Tuesday evening and that continued on the next day. Luckily it was my exercise day and I got to go to sauna. In the evening I continued my reading of the Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë.

Thursday was the best! We had a nice Irish lesson. *cough* I got very positive feedback on my sentences. I only had three mistakes and even if I'd used them, I would've been understood. And then I got the job and then we had this hygiene proficiency certificate test and I got through that, too. But then I was so tired that I couldn't finish the book, like I had wanted to.

Because, on Friday on our literary class we were watching the film the Tenant of Wildfell Hall, based on the book. But more of that soon.

We were going to go shopping with mum, but on Friday morning I decided I wouldn't need my keys with me.... So, of course I forgot one of my gift tokens and only remembered it when it was a couple of minutes to the bus coming. I did miss the bus, but luckily my neighbour was still home and he had a spare key. So I got the token and calmly walked to the other bus. I was about five-ten minutes late, but it was only a Swedish class. XP
Then on our literary class, we had one of our Friday Quizzes - they're just for fun - and after that the teacher was putting the film on, but I asked to be excused 'cause I didn't want to be spoiled. She let me go. :D
We had nice time with mum. And in the evening I read Wildfell. I finished it at about four in the morning! I couldn't let it off my hands. It was so exiting to the last pages. XD

For today, I'm going to make a new entry, as this is already pages long.

Of course it's happening inside your head, but why should that mean it's not real?

Had a meditative weekend and got some great results.
I meditated over on being a woman and suddenly decided to try and meet my Priestess. So I set up. On Saturday night I was ready, at about eleven.
You can read what happened on that journey here: Meeting my Priestess
When I returned and went to bed it was half past midnight. It had felt only like a quarter of an hour.

I was floaty the next day. Woke up early and got lots of things done; school work and chores. It was fun, I hope this week continues the same way. *crosses fingers*

Weekend, weekend!

Been a strange end of the week.
Yesterday, on Thursday we spent the whole day at school making crafts. For a fair that's on Saturday. And then in the evening, at seven, the whole group went to the theatre. The Glass Menagerie was really good, imo. A bit different, but that's what I liked about it.
After the show we went to eat the food we had prepared during the day. So the theatre ended at half past nine and I got home at something around half past twelve and just fell to bed.

This morning's Swedish lesson was really interesting. The whole group seemed a bit tired and restless. But luckily our literature teacher had told the Swedish teacher about the theatre, so she went easy on us. XD

And:


This is what we did on the second lesson! Arranged our "booth" for the fair. I decided not to go, because my back's aching and my knee is acting up. But arranging this was really fun and everyone pitched in. ^_^

Now, a bit of food, some rest and then I'll start tidying up this sty I call my room. -.-'

About books and spring fever

Been dead tired this week. I think it's because of what you call spring fever. Oh well, it'll pass.

It's just that I'd want to do so may things, but I can't find the energy. All I'm able to do after school is lie on my bed reading and drinking tea. I just read Pratchett's Going Postal in less than a day and loved it. Been going to bed at nine, when I usually do that at eleven.
It's too light all the time. And too wet.
And I'm still as happy as a little frog in a pond.

I think I'll write a review about the book, when I get home. This eMac I'm using now is annoying the hell out of me and I have to really bang the keyboard. Ouch!

Next lesson is Irish (and Spanish, but I'm not so interested in that). I've been absent for two weeks, so I fear I'm lagging a bit. Blah. I really want to learn that language, and it's really not that difficult, just very different. Anyway, off for now. XD

Bad morning

I'm feeling very frustrated right now. Slept well and all that, but I can't get my web page to work right, a dream was cut short and I just want to write... But I've decided to have a good day, anyway. Xp

A mobile test

Just testing if iI can use this from my cell. Works fine. Got to learn how to add pics this way.

New blog

Got very bored with LJ.... too big a hassle, and I was browsing through some other blogs - seiyuu blogs, actually - and decided that this is much cleverer. Bit less "official".

Here there'll be pics and stuff from my daily life. Bits and bobs from here and there. Don't expect it to be too interesting. XP
