Follow the white line

Follow the white ... line

Last night I got a great idea of going to cycle in the middle of night. When it was dark, windy and it felt like there was almost little bit of rain in the air - in other words just quite nice autumn-like weather. This was my first time cycling in the dark in this autumn and have to say that it was just so great. It has just so different feeling when you are alone in the streets, just trying to follow your headlamp light... And because I was cycling in the middle of night, I was practically all alone there, there was just a few cars in the roads. It was so quiet and nice.

In the middle of my trip I just encountered weird white line in the street that just went somewhere. It was weird because it was painted first in the pavement, then on the street, then it went across the school yard... So what I did - of course I started to follow it... It took a while until I understood that it was the Varala marathon route marking, which was better than good for me because I was actually heading to near to Varala to see nightly view of city. So just following weird white line and I ended up exactly where I wanted :) But the view wasn't so great than I was thought, it was nice but not so nice. So still searching for a great nightly view from the city... Tips are accepted...

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...

Freedom?

I made today something that I have been thinking about for a some time for now. I resigned my job.
For a while I have been thinking that my current job doesn't give much for me. No new challenges, no education, it is just same day after day. And when my duties has been slowly changed from systems administration to almost full-time PHP coding, I just decided that it is better for me and my future if I resign and take year off to study.
I guess my decision means that I really need to study in this academic year...
