BusyBusyBusy - and total boredom!

*sigh*

It indeed was a hectic weekend! Out, in a pub, bar or party, almost every night from wednesday 'til sunday. And now I'm bored at home and it's monday night. There's Olympics on on TV, so I have an option to sit on my fat a** and feel bad receiving all that sporting euphoria - but instead I sit on that same FA and write here. At least then there's something proving that I haven't been TOTALLY lazy...

Oh well, but to last week. On wednesday we had a card game night with boys: Olli, Valtteri, Marko and I went to this close-by pub, Soho, to play cards and drink GOOD Irish cider/beer (Magners (Bulmers) and Beamish). It was fun, relaxing and amusing in all ways! Me and guys playing cards - can a girl complain?? ;)

On thursday there was this snowrally (=hankiralli) I already mentioned in my last posting. After it there was a "standard" overall party in a bar downtown - and naturally (for a Finn) a pre-party in between there. We were supposed to head home after the pre-party, which was held in University of Tampere business student union's, Boomi's, club house. The place is also known as BoLa, which comes from it's full Finnish name BoomiLaakso (Boomi walley). Anyhow, we were supposed to go home from BoLa, and not go to Onnela, but whelllllll....
In the snowrally there was some hot mint chocolate offered by the Finnish association of graduates in economics and business, which I naturally had to consume, since it was slightly chilly Finnish winter night... I also managed to invole myself into the presenting of the whole rally (since they needed someone to do the audio-speaks in english too...). So, a busy night there. But the thing got out of hand in BoLa, since somehow we managed to start playing King's Cup, and after that it was settled: Olli and I were definitely going to the main party and the bar it was organized in, Onnela, too.

On Friday there was one of my favourite Finnish bands, TikTak, playing in Tampere. I managed to talk Olli for coming there with me, and so we did. The gig itself was AWESOME, but as we were slightly tired from the previous night we didn't go anywhere but home after it.

On Saturday we visited a book fair that was held here in Tampere, ate out and went to my old friend's B-day party. Actually this party was thrown by a friend I worked with in summer 2000 in one of the biggest amusement parks in Finland. The job itself was TERRIBLE, but as it turned out, I got few great friends from there! And well, to be honest; I hadn't seen this girl, Tanja, for maybe 3 years - and then now on saturday. But somehow it seemed that it was just yesterday, that we hung out... Anyways, the party itself was so much fun, but unfortunately we had to take off pretty early, since Olli had to catch 06.15 bus to Turku the next morning. Too bad, I'd say - but at the same time I'm confident that we'll take a rain-check with Tanja very soon!!

Yesterday I was abandoned, then. Olli left for NESU-seminar (= an organization that enhances inter-Nordic co-operation between the student unions of business schools in the Nordic countries) early in the morning - and I spent the day with his parents and grandparents. Actually it was a super-nice day; we went for a walk with Olli's parents first, then went to a sauna before a nice dinner with the grandparents. The option for my day would've probably been pretty much like my today: mooching at home, THINKING about going out for a walk or smthg - but never getting around to it. And then it's too dark to go. *sigh*

But that's my busy weekend. Now it's monday night - and I have not even left the building. I popped out to the balcony ONCE to get my clothes that had been airing out there. Feeling lazy and fat. I'll do something about it TOMORROW. (Morgen, morgen, nur nicht heute, sagen immer faule leute... eh??)
