Balance of life

Balancing time between study and work

About studies

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? :D 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…

    Well well well =) So you’re really coming to Hervanta and became a science student (I have no idea what is teekkari in english). Are you ready to change your image from Tampere university to Hervanta?

    And I was shocked to hear that you’re already thinking what to study next autumn. Yeah, that means I should do the same. Where do I get the motivation to do all those last courses. I would like to graduate from TUT before you =)

    Well, so it seems, craziness, here I come. ;) And no, I am not sure of I am ready to change anything… Yet… :) And I have to think my studies already, I have to remind to accept my position in TUT in this month :D
    And tell me if you find that motivation, I think that after all I would need that also, specially with studies at UTA… And I think that you will graduate quite easily before me but still… I have only five years time to left, you have some more years… :D
