I'm wondering about making a life change. I thought about reading different literature like self help etc. and reporting about my progress to blog. Maybe I'd just keep this blog simple and make new blog , which I'd update every day and reflect my feelings towards my project.

Why have I gotten this kind of idea? Well I have been really stressed. I had to make new studying plan and cut out courses. Cutting out studying made me feel really sad. My spouse suggested that I'd studied something else like cooking. Well I thought that I'd studied the most important thing in my life: myself.

I wanna learn what kind of routines, diet, exercise, way of thinking etc. fit me. I know that route will be long but I'm ready to go for it. I hope that I'll find lot's of people to support me.

I'm still wondering weather to write my blog in English or Finnish and should I remain anonymous. If I decide to be anonymous, then I'd had to create new user to blogger etc. Would it be too hard? Will I suffer because of my identity?

No one has asked me whether I got crops from my bushes. Well I got! But they weren't as tasty as I has expected =( I started to wonder If I can make tea out of boysen berry's leaves but now they must have already frozen, so it must be too late =(

I hate stuffed characters. Not as much as lambs and sheeps. So I try to temper myself as posing in pictures with these disgusting beings.

Annual Book fair of Turku was crowded, I spend lot's of money on books and tasted delightful things on food fair section. Still this hideous thing is the utmost thing that I remember.

Last Saturday European Ethnology's student Association Nefa celebrated it's 40th birthday. I, of course, wanted to be there because my idol, Katriina Siivonen, held honor speech on dinner. I attended as harbinger, which meant that I served toasts and helped with the flag. I got dinner on bargain price.

Well I myself didn't enjoy so much, because I was stressing about my studies. Mostly I loved performance of Äemänkäet choir and aking photos of rocks.

I met my idol George R R Martin (GRRM) in Finncon. I asked him to sign my book and I was so excited that I almost fainted

We were cycling around Åland 7 - 10.7. It's really hard to describe briefly it because it was so great experience. I learned that I have stamina to cycle long routes and I saw beautiful places, ate wonderful food and met friendly people.

Seriously, we were told that in Åland people are unfriendly. Quite opposite! Everyone greeted us. When our ferry didn't manage to come because of hard wind, guest house's host drove us to Kastelholma for free. On last day, when we were shopping we had long talk with one auntie.

We took ready made cycling package from Viking Line which included bike rent, saddle bags, helmets, Beds and breakfast (+linen) for 3 nights, ferries and map. And of course ship from Turku to Åland and Åland to Helsinki. I summed that if we had booked everything by ourselves and took our own bikes, we might have save 100€. But actually I thought that It'd been much easier to let travel agency to take care of everything rather than phone everywhere by myself.

There was lot's of lovely things but I'm too tired to describe them. If you want to ask something please let me know.
