Balance of life

Everyone knows that last Friday, 11.7. was once again a historical day. Apple iPhone 3G selling started and luckily for me, also in Finland. Oh yes… I was signed up earlier when our operator was collecting name lists who are interested, I reserved phone as soon as it was possible and on last Friday I was 10am in the store and buying my iPhone. And now I am happy owner of black 16Gb model.

I have been playing it now for few days and I have to say that it is quite close to perfect phone. I have iPod Touch so there was no wow-effect anymore in the UI or operations, but iPhone has everything that Touch was missing, all the time connectivity. Touch was nice but its biggest problem is that it needs Wifi for working, with iPhone, I can access Internet anywhere I want.

But the iPhone mania doesn’t end here. Because we are now talking about me the next step was quite expected. In the weekend I was accepted as iPhone Developer (and had to paid for that) and now I am able to develop nice programs for iPhone, test them on the real devices and publish them to App Store (or even sell them). Now all I have to do is just finish my codings and actually make some programs

It is already in the middle of July and sooner than I can imagine, the studies is going to start again. And once again it is time to think what I am going to study… And once again I decide that this autumn is going to be different from earlier ones, this time I will study more and better…
Expect this time this autumn is really going to be totally different. In the end of last year I started to think about my studies and in the spring I really started to think what I would like to do, or better, what would be nice to do… So, how all that thinking ended? Well, I decided to apply for Computer Science in Tampere University of Technology and Scandinavian Languages in University of Tampere. I was accepted directly to Tampere University of Technology based on my success on matriculation exam and in the end of May I was taking apart of exams for Scandinavian Languages.
The results for TUT came already in the May (for paper selections) and I was accepted. But I was still waiting for my expected failure on UTA and last Friday I got results from there also. No, I wasn’t accepted, which was very expected, with that reading and with my luck (the whole exam was just multiple-choices…).
So, after all this I am going to start study on TUT in about a month I will still study interesting courses on UTA also, so this autumn is going to be, well interesting and quite full of studying.
Good question is why I applied for Scandinavian Languages? Well, to told the truth, I am not quite sure myself. I had that mandatory Swedish course in the spring and that was very interesting so I thought that it would be nice to read some more. And… Why not? Well, I don’t have that problem anymore, expect I am still going to try to have rights to read Scandinavian Languages as my secondary subject but there is again an exam that I should pass… And I think that this time I should maybe read a little bit better…
