Tuesday
Woke up at 8:15 (45mins late already, not a good start). Me and Carju (room mate) had decided to wake up at 7:30 so we can walk to swimming hall (45mins), swim, do sauna and then Carju could go to dentist’s at time and me back to home and school. The reason why I slept too late (I do that about once in 4 months or something) was because my clock alarmed at 6:25 telling that ankka (a friend) has a birthday today. So I angrly turned off the cell phone (didn’t think too clearly). At the same time Carju also failed to wake up. Anyway, not a big deal, just a quicker breakfast, cycling to hall and no sauna needed.
I swam a new record: 1525m in 45mins.
School was booked from 12:00 to 21:00. The first two hours we were doing a simulation exercise of the circuit theory course. Surprisingly it was quite nice exercise and our mood got up (90% of my school stuff is done with ankka so you know whom I’m meaning when I speak of ‘we’). Then coffee break: I drank a glass of water and ate a few candies (those which can be only licked).
The next 3h were for our digital clock project. We had worked for that the last 4-5 months and it was finally getting ready. After 30mins we had introduced our work for the lecture and passed the course. Everything went so great. Perfect! One of the best memories of my university life. We were 99% sure there are errors and we must redesign some parts of it but luckily it passed at the first attempt (when you think you are ready you can go to visit the lecture and try to get it passed).
Whii, so 2h30min free time. I tried to get ankka for a walk but he was too lazy. Instead of we planned our summer studies and stuff like that. At 17:15 it was time for a burger, I regret to admit I ordered a mega burger with french fries. Still feeling bad physically. And mentally. The morning swimming was for nothing in weight losing matter.
From 18:00 to 20:30 we were practicing for the upcoming mathematical basic course II’s second exam. I didn’t do well enough in the first exam so I must try my best now (I try to do my best only if I’m forced or if I love the thing I’m doing like Moposite).
At home I cleaned my shoes, organized room and washed dishes. Now I’m drinking Stroh with Cola and just chilling. Tomorrow will be a tough day again. 90mins badminton, 45mins gym (might be my first time to do gym voluntarily) and then school day of 4-5 hours. Actually not a bad day at all.
A new pope has been elected (not a correct term I guess). I ended up to read some facts about the John Paul II and found out that he was tried to be murdered by a Turkish named Mehmet Ali Agca. The interesting part is the events after the attempt. Pope met Agca in the prison and forgave him. The forgiveness discussion has been hot for a while among my friends. Is there any action which can’t be forgiven? I don’t know. And I don’t want to hear any religion views anymore.
Another problem that has been up latelly: what is materially enough for a person. I mean: I’ve got a computer, expensive clothes, eat burgers, travel etc etc when some people don’t even have water and food. Should I give 99% or 98% or 90% or 50% or 10% or 1% of my material for poor people? What’s a good amount, 10%? And if I don’t give should I feel bad for it? Own house, car and summer cottage are almost compulsory things for Finns. That is very crazy when you think about it more. Of course we can always say: “yea I studied hard and then worked for years so I’ve earned them”. But as we know a lot of the people in the world don’t even have opportunity to study. Should I just feel happy I was born in Finland, do my best in own life and help people around me and also give some amount of my income for poorer people around the world? That’s my current ideology.
Sorry for non-Elma talk.
