September, October and first half of November

(this post was to be released in September but guess who was lazy again..)

From where should I begin with... beginning of September maybe? So... my school continued as usual when September started.

The picture below is from September 9th, when was very beautiful morning so I took the photo (:



..and these pictures are from September 13th, when was also beautiful, serene morning (sun shined and no clouds on the sky)















Then was my first term's exam week + matriculation examinations. It was a bit hard to read for exams + matriculation examination test at the same time, but luckily I had only 3 exams on exam week (exam week lasts always six days -or- five days + afternoon of some day). But then it was already September 15th, when I had my matriculation examination test. I started reading for it on July but somehow on that morning I wasn't even stressed as I usually am on exam day mornings (I had HUGE stress on previous Saturday hit my head to the wall). 

But the main point: exam. You have six hours of time, own pens, rubbers, sharpener, ruler and unlimited amount of paper given by the school (people who made chemistry or geography (me!) that day had also book containing chemistry, physics and math formulas + calculator). You are free to leave the place after three hours but it's not sensible since you have those six hours + you have to paid about the exam. You can get a grade of A, B, C, M, E or L, when A is the worst and L the best. When I got predictive points of my exam, I got 22 points, which is on border of grades C and M. Last years you have usually got M with 22 points, but I still haven't got my final points yet. I think it's next week when I will got the final results are grade. I hope it went well!

Then the first term of this semester ended and the second one started. Nothing special happened during second term even though I broke my bike somehow again. No, this time it wasn't a wheel that blew out. It was a wire that goes from handlebar of my bike to back wheel axle, where is the gears. I leave it to repair and got it back next day so everything was OK then (:


This picture is from October 1st, when trees had full colours of autumn (I took this picture after I had left my bike to the repair and I was walking back home).



And this picture is from October 8th when there was amazing sunrise when I was leaving to school in the morning.


Sorry about the bad quality of two recent pictures, they were taken on my phone, an old (2011-model) Nokia :D


In the middle of October I had yearly autumn holiday and then I finally bought a new phone for myself :D   I had my Nokia 500 for almost three years (since Christmas 2011) and it was.... slow and not reliable anymore. I bought HTC Desire 610 for myself and it has been good so far. It is almost good as my laptop when talking about performance haha (;

Then it was time for second term's exam week and we will got grades of last term's courses on next Thursday, when we will also get our course exams back (:

It's been a bit cold lately here, it's almsot December already (: The last year in high school goes sooo fast when comparing to two previous ones. But it will feel much better when we 4rd grade students will start our own activities at the beginning on December. 

When the cold weather arrived, I was on trouble with my bike again :(   My bike's gears froze so many times and last week I almost broke the gear selector on the handlebar of my bike. But yesterday it fixed somehow automatically and today it seemed to work well even though it was slippery everywhere. And last week we had also FIRST SNOW OF THIS YEAR. Yeah it already melted away but the feeling when it doesn't feel that dark outside (:

And today we made a school trip (most of our 3rd grade students) to Jyväskylä (big city located 43 kilometers far from this town), where is university and university of applied sciences. It was really fun even though when going there our bus was late and we missed the first lecture both in university and university of applied sciences.


Phew, it was quite long post haha :D

By the way, I had enrolment for military service on October 22nd and I said there that I want to go to civilian / non-military service. I got a letter at the beginning of this week saying that my 4-week-long "training period" in a training center locate din southern Finland starts on April 13th, 2015 and the actual civialian / non-military service starts on May 11th, 2015. I haven't found a working place for myself yet, but there's lot of time. I'm too shy to go to ask different plaes, maybe I will just send e-mails....

I started a blog about my civilian /non-military service at http://laurisivarissa.blogspot.fi/ but it's only in Finnish. Feel still free to use Google Translator. I will update both blogs while time
Have a nice November everybody!  (:
