Balance of life Balancing between studying, hobbies, sometimes work and life.

Running at night

Great thing about summertime is that you are able to do something at nights also. Today was a first real warm summer day, it was quite warm to cycle fast in the sunshine. So somehow I didn't had such a great motivation to go out in the evening when there was still too warm for a run. So I left after 11PM to make my run. It had its own feeling when it was almost dark already, street lights were on and it smelled like it had been rained. And it was cooler than in the day. After all, just a great environment for running. And my run did went well :)

This spring has been quite different from others what comes to my running. Usually I get a lots of motivation to start running in the spring, but when it gets warmer and spring turns to summer, somehow I just stop running. But not this time, now I have been gone for a run couple times per week and managed to make my usual running trail even longer than I did in the begin. I still donät think I am a fast runner or that I am in a good shape (my runs are ~5km and takes a little bit over 33min), but if I keep running the whole summer, maybe in the autumn... Who knows...

Jogging

I always start jogging in the spring. I don't why but for some reason I just had to go out and start jogging. But, again for some reason, I'll just leave it during the spring and in the begin of summer I just go jogging very rarely. This year hasn't been exception.
But today I got again inspiration to go jogging and it was nice again. I really should make it a regular habit, it was fun and I think that I should do something else than just bicycle to university and back. And specially now when studies (and working there) has ended I only go there now and then.
Kinda funny thing is that jogging is another way for me to organise my thoughts. In the spring I also wanted to go for a jog when I had too many thoughts in my mind. It isn't exactly the same thing when I go to think in the nature but it is almost as good as wondering in the middle of the forest or looking the sunset on the lake. There is something therapeutical when you try to think too big thoughts and try to jog or run at the same time. And the good thing is that when you get too tired from jogging, you just can't think too much, you are just too tired to think too much. :)
Well, I had fun with my jog but I still have too many thoughts in my mind that I really need to solve at some point. But luckily I have one wonder less now, finally I know what I am going to do in the summer. One though down, about a million left...

Busy busy busy….

This is again a weekend when I just have too much to do. It is interesting why usually all the tasks, jobs, everything that has to be done until a specific day ends up to be done in the same weekend. Okey, I admit, I have been lazy and haven't done all my jobs when I had time but still, why all deadlines are always in the same week... I just guess that it is just a life or Murphy's law.
I am still trying to write my Pro Gradu, but it is still quite unfinished. I have noticed that it is quite difficult to have a clear thought what you like to write and when you managed to do that, it is even more difficult to get it out from my mind to the paper. Well, I think it is just about I haven't concentrate in the writing process enough yet, I just have to sit down and force myself to write, even something. I know that if I get even something to the paper, it would evolve something better in the time. All I just need right now is that draft version but...
Basic problem seems to be that I just say everything too shortly, I just cannot describe and talk about different subjects long enough. And of course, that little thing that I still don't have a clear view what I should say and how much in which chapters. Well, if I just manage to write something, maybe it would turn into something good... maybe...

Coming sick?

Just now I have a feeling that I am coming sick. That stupid feeling when you just can't concentrate well on anything. I guess that I have caught a cold from somewhere. Maybe if I decide that I doesn't have time to be sick just now I won't? It does work that way, doesn't it?
I actually can't remember when I have been in cold last time. In the autumn I had a stomach flu but cold, I don't remember that I would have it in the last autumn. I guess that it has to be in the year ago. So I guess that it was a time again, I seem to have a cold at least once a year. But still, I have decided that I won't have this cold now, I just don't have time.

Missing time

Balance of life. Balancing time between studies and work.
Yeah, those are my blog's headlines, and now I would really need all those. This spring is going to be busy, busy and more busy than I ever thought. My work is currently about writing my Pro Gradu which is nice that I get paid for writing but it isn't always so nice. I have noticed that writing my gradu isnät going so well at the moment. It is difficult to just get started, to get anything cleaver and smart text out of my mind to the document. I know that it is mostly just the lack of starting but it is that starting the process that is difficult. For some reason I just haven't managed to get myself to correct state of mind.
And the funny part is that the actual writing process is going to be quite easy for me because I have quite clear image of what I should write in what chapter. I've got all chapters already planned and now all I just need to do is write and write some more. If I just managed to get myself to write and write well.
Trying to study some missing courses at the same time is not going to make writing process any easier. It is really annoying when you need to go to classes all the time. Why all lectures has to be in the middle of the day always? Just to make sure that no-one is able to work and study at the same time? Make sure that if you try to work with something you just get interrupted all the time when you need to go to classes?
Well, this spring is really going to be a tough lesson how to balance time properly between studies, work, photography, relaxing and free-time. I hate to admit but I haven't had time for a photography for a long long time. Last week I finally bought a new tripod and now I can finally take some more macro photos, at least it is easier but if I just had more time to do all what I want or need to do.
And what I do now? Instead of writing my gradu, reading for exams, thinking of logic programs or being outside and take photos of snowy city I just sit in my office and writing to my blog...
