Sometimes




That's how I feel a little bit at the moment. Way too much of everything going on and no strong shoulder to cry on. So i just have to chin up and keep going on my own. As always!

Hauskaa Vappua! Glada Wappen!

As every year May 1st is Vappu in Finland. Too bad that i missed the craziness this year but if somebody forgot what it is all about, check last years post or ask google or auntie wiki.




PS I hope I have soon some time top write a few posts since a lot has happened during the last weeks. I got a job and a new flat but even though today I had the day off, I was just too lazy to write anything. Sorry about that!

"He is dead!" ...

... Is definitely not what you want to hear when somebody looks at your computer. :'( But so it is. May you Rest in Peace you piece of junk!
Just 3 months after my own laptop died, now the one of my dad which I used as a replacement until I have the money to buy a new one is dead too. (Hmm is it me that I kill all computers or is it the computers that just decide to die in my hands?) Now I am stuck with my 8 year old laptop where the loudspeaker and even headphones don’t work, which is so slow that it takes about 15min until you can use it, where the wireless Internet connection of my flat isn’t accepted and well if I use a cable to get online it just takes 10 min to open a page. So I can’t even think about doing any research on this piece of crap. :( So maybe that is now the time that I should actually write my university papers since Word is more or less the only thing you can use on this laptop. :/
Well not today, probably tomorrow. Now I will just wallow with a crappy book and my last bit of Christmas chocolate from Finland.

Computers just suck!

miracle

I don't know how often you have miracles but I can say I had a few in my life but what happened yesterday was just unbelievable.

So since the preparation for the Leipzig book fair are just crazy at the moment at work (the book fair starts tomorrow) and so I was in a hurry as always in the morning. I heard some noise when i went on my bike to work but didn't looked around because I thought I just rode over a little stick or something. When I arrived at work I noticed my mistake: My cell phone was gone. It obviously fell out of my pocket while riding to work. The day at work was so busy that i almost forgot about it but when i got home I checked my whole room still hoping that i didn't loose it but just misplaced it.

Well, nothing!

I called my mom with the regular apartment phone and told her under tears that my phone is gone. And while talking to her I realized what I really lost, all those phone numbers and a lot of data for university which i saved there during last weeks trip to Finland. Gosh I am such a moron for not having these numbers written down somewhere and for not saving this date when I got back from the trip! It took me even 10min just to find somewhere my parents phone number. So after calling my mom I was about to leave to meet some friends but wanted to check my emails before leaving.

And there she was on ICQ. My guardian angel for that day. :) A friend who I wanted to mail or call for months since we haven't really spoken in a year or more. That friend had for whatever reason tried to call me. And somebody other than me answered my cell. So she told me that somebody found my phone and that I should contact that person and will get back my phone.

Unbelievable?! Isn't it?

For me it was the biggest miracle of my life! Because why was that friend trying to call me that day and not 2 days later or a week earlier?? Totally insane!

Well my mom who didn't know about my friend telling me that somebody found my phone, tried to call my number this morning to test if it was still working and then talked to that nice man who found my phone. So i called him tonight and got my phone back within 5 minutes since he just lives down the street. So now i am complete again with my phone and finally appreciate it. And i am saving all numbers now separately. Just in case.

So that was my miracle for this week. :)
Let's see what the rest of the year brings.



PS Thanks Janine for trying to call me yesterday. :)

PPS I try to update now the blog a bit during the next weeks. it's about time and my internship is almost over and i was in Finland for a week so enough to write about and have some nice pictures to post as well.
