The Hallways Of My Past 3 Years; My Uni
OK, most of you must be dead tired of my babble on school stuff. I've kept talking about how I ought to finish another assignment or study for a final. Judging by y'all's comments you probably now see me as a superbly dedicated and hard-working studen haha! I'm flattered! With you people living under such an impression though I believe I need to explain this school thing a little bit.
I study business at the Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences here in Helsinki.
On the 7th floor of my Uni - trying to snap a picture without anyone spotting me do so.
I enrolled my Uni in the fall of 2008 right after graduating from high school. The degree is called Tradenom, it's a bachelor's degree in business. I chose to major in marketing since my dream is to work in a media/advertising house and with people, branding and communications. The tradenom degree itself could be finished in 4 years but I was somewhat lazy in my first 2 years so it's taken me a little longer. That also explains why I've had to work harder during this last study year of mine to catch up with everything and actually make graduating possible!
My campus, as the biggest and hardest one to get accepted in of all the Haaga-Helia campuses, was my pick for a Uni not only because of the level of studies it offered, but because I found the campus itself so nice. I knew that if it wasn't for a comfy, spacey campus with good computers and interesting enough courses I wouldn't bother dragging my butt there!
The campus itself has 9 floors and what I've always loved about it is how it's glass everywhere so that it never seems dark and depressing - I guess it's meant to make you think of a nice new office block than a school. In these past few years I've spent a lot of time sitting by the tall windows on the higher floors, staring down at the business district by which the school's located, and waiting for my next class.
Like I know I've said a dozen times, I don't have any classes to attend this spring now except for one language class. Blehh, a compulsory one. I'm now starting working on my thesis and that should mean a lot of study time in the library of my school and a lot of sitting on the computer enjoying my time with Word, writing. But I am actually really excuited for it! After finishing my thesis I've got the half-a-year-long internship in some company to do and then I'll be ready graduate, and hopefully ready to enroll a job in my own field.
Alright alright, enough for study related stuff. Hope this cleared things up a bit and explained where I am at with life right now. My spring will be very thesis centered so I may be mentioning it often, but since the thesis itself is blog related I should be on the blog a lot too!
Let me know what to blog about - or is it just "more videos"? Cheers!

Ok, enough about blog plans for one post!
I would've wanted to carry out my "more style & outfit photos" plan with this post too, but I've a total pyjama banana since Christmas! So no nice new outfit photos to show now. But I was just going through the picture files on my phone and noticed there were loads of (more of less random and irrelevant) cell phone photos I never shared here on the blog yet -
So since I've got no new photos of me self, here's a little phone photo feed!
 Coolest hair-do try from past weeks - Minnie Mouse do! |
  Some holiday/birthday bakings, oreo truffles I just attempted to make the other day. And then my favorite sight; B sleeping. Here with Ginah at his feet. (Don't tell him I posted this) |
  The "nice surprise" when waking up - Ginah, our pitbull has come take a nap at the end of the bed. At B's. |
 From those at-home, pre-holidays days. In my room. |
  Christmas lights I put up in B's room. / Have I ever told you guys I like my orchids? Ooopsee |
  First one makes me lol because I think my face is just so *bitch please!!* on here! :D Second one is a pre-holidays outfit, wearing my favorite pleather shorts and boots. |
 This is from the summer, a view from me & B's then apartment, taken by by with his iPhone. I've been missing living (by myself/)with B SO much lately, I just feel like weeping looking at photos from our ex home. |
Okay, this little girl is off to bed. To wake up with a new age tomorrow hehee ♥
Cheers to that!

ByeBye Last Year – My Timeline of 2011
Hello there, fellow survivors of the 2011 - 2012 change of year! Who would've thought that another year would pass, this year too! How was everyone's New Years? Ours was spent in the comfy at-a-friend's way with my B and with the boys. I'm good with how relaxed our NYE was.
Thank you all for the love & support in the past year,
for sticking along, inspiring me, and making this blog worth updating!
Wishing you all a happy and successful New Year filled with love!
Let 2012 be a good one ♥
This past year has been unusually rough for me and I haven't always updated you blog people on what's been going on. To update where I am at right now, let 2011 rest in peace and to start off fresh with 2012;
I want to share my timeline of 2011!
Start of the year 2011
The year 2011 started off well for me; the holidays were such a perfect time for me and my mr.B. I guess that winter we really discovered "us" with B. I enjoyed a luxurious Birthday dinner and we were doing so well in general. I didn't care about how I looked, didn't notice I'd gained weight, we were just enjoying ourselves so much.
February - March 2011
After the holidays I continued my Business studies and B was back to working. I'd study all week while B would be away working, often for 4-day work trips out of town. I thought it was a hard time for us, being separated. Seems like nothing now.
We would go to B's parents' house for the weekends while he'd come stay at my place between work days. I was constantly running between houses and started getting tired of it.
I started dreaming of us moving in together - and I started talking to B about, or talking him into, moving in with me.
March - April 2011
Me and B celebrated our anniversary, he gave me a certain magnificent gift to wear around my finger, and during March I got B convinced on that we should move in together. I'm not sure if he wanted to move out as much as I wanted him to, but we started looking for apartments.
Quicker than we'd thought, we found a dream apartment - and moved in by Easter.
Our new apartment was big, right the sea, close to both of our families, just everything. It was not cheap but we managed since B could work full time and I'd soon graduate. I was thrilled to finally settle down with B, and really start our life. Life was just too good to be true, I thought we had it all. To think about it, we did.
May 2011
Then came the big bang. A big, unexpected, nasty change came along and threw everything around. I will not go into detail here telling you about it, but just think of it as something no-one could've predicted, and that totally threw our budget & plans off balance.
Suddenly we weren't sure if we could keep our apartment, and everything was insecure.
For the good memories, we did take our trip to Rome since we'd already booked it. I think we were both stressed out as hell, but it's still one of my good memories.
From then on, the upcoming weeks / months were full of stress, a lot of arguing and questioning everything. I would work every day and could still not secure our "future". I am pretty sure B went quite depressed, and on most days I would cry at some point of the day.
Summer of 2011
After the shocking change in May, getting hang of that it was actually summer took some time. After weeks of fighting and crying, me & B slowly started to realize we'd have to make it out of our tricky situation together and our living together started to work out.
When I wasn't working, we would go ride B's bike (about which I never got to blog yet!) and cook together, watch movies etc. Just try to relax. Regardless the hard situation we were still in, I'd find moments when I would think "man, regardless of this crap, we are still extremely lucky to have each other".
Though I knew that we might have to move out any time, I tried not to think about it.
Fall of 2011
Like said before, the summer went by with us basically knowing that we might not be able to keep our apartment, and in August we finally decided to stop renting it and were set to move out in September. As we did not find ourselves a suitable second apartment to move in with B, we had to both move back to our parents. For "the time being" - I am still not sure how long it will be like this.
Moving out and moving back to my parents was, and still is, a real hard piece of cake for me.
After the summer, which was a pile of arguments and me crying, came the fall of accepting we'd have to leave the apartment we'd just gotten (my biggest dream having been moving in with B). Oh, I shed a few tears.
With how crampy I've been I honestly I can't say I'd have been a particularly good daughter, girlfriend or friend since the beginning of the summer.
Rest of the Year 2011
On the last two months of the year, I've slowly gotten over the Summer and the having-to-move-out, and accepting that that just had to be done, and we'll get another chance to move in together. There have been better times but life's still not completely back to 'normal'.
School wise I've been pretty productive this year, and like I've said a thousand times, I'm getting closer to graduating with my majoring-in-marketing business studies.
And that brings us to the Holidays and New Years, and to this new year 2012.
OK, I hope at least some of y'all cared to read this and found some explanations in it! It's impossible to really explain how things have been, especially since I don't want to go into too much detail with personal things and have to leave some things out. Still, I'm aware of that my life is still fairly easy compared to some and that I am extremely lucky, so there is no need to inform me of that ♥
I'm ready to kiss bye-byeh to 2011 and start off fresh with this new & hopefully luckier year!
Once more, a happy new year everyone! Be back soon ♥
