Ready for X-mas!

I don't know if I've written already.... should read my old posts. Well, I've gotten all my X-mas presents already. I only had to buy one yesterday for my friend. Otherwise I was done alerady on saturday. A really good feeling about how everyone is just going to love our presents. OK so we spent some money on them this year. Next year everyone is getting socks again. ;) But since I'm earning money now it only feels nice to spread it around a bit on X-mas.
My favorite gym instructor was back yesterday doing the class she used to do. Just this one week though. And I was thinking of not going. Luckily I went cause it was nice. I have begun to wonder though about going to that Healthy Back-class. I seem to always be the fittest looking one in the class. and It doesn't help much that I am always in the front row. See the thing is I want to be able to see in the mirror that I am doing all the movements right. And were I at the back that wouldn't be possible. And I do have back problems, but that just doesn't show anymore now that my posture is a bit better. With hard work that is. So the thing is, I have started to feel like the people around me feel like I am just showing off at the class. This lady in the sauna was like asking these other women whether the class is meant for those who have a healthy back or for those who don't. Me being there might have something to do with this. I know I am now again thinking like the world revolves around me, but this is how I feel.
Even at the gym regularly I am quite fit looking compared to other people. I always thought that only fit people go to the gym, but it seems like the only really fit people there are the instructors. Weird really.
So should I stop going to the class? This lady yesterday was looking at me mean. I think she might have wanted my spot. And she was just the type that really needs that class. U know, not really in touch with her body. Maybe I should just go to the pumps and aerobics cause I would better blend into the people there.
I'll have plenty of time to think about this over X-mas. Really excited. Only like three ans a half work days, one dentists appointment and a long bus trip and X-mas is here. :)

Adult?

So I have my graduation ceremony today. Went out last week and bought a suit. Black one. That's the dresscode for the ceremony. Got a nice esprit one. I can't seem to shop anywhere else than my local esprit store nowadays. But it's so easy. It's small and there's everything I need there. Underwear, cool t-shirts, belts, jeans and now the suit also. And I get 3% bonus from everything I buy. Plus they have really good discounts and I have never bought jeans at the original price and seldom anything else either. I always wait till my favorite clothes go on sale to buy them. Cunning.
Yeah, well I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror to notice a spot on my face. Seriously. Of all the days. This was like the day I become and adult or something and I look like a teenager. It's not that bad really. Just ironic I guess.
To the gym... So my favorit instructor quit a while ago. Now they are moving my Funk dance class to start at five. So I'll never make it there anymore. And they are cancelling the other funk class on sundays that I have also been going to. I'm feeling way annoyed about this. Now all the classes that start at six are like pump or something really undance. I asked them yesterday whether I could still affect the schedule, but it was already decided upon and the schedules had gone to print. some changes might be made but not anytime soon. So I'll just have to try send comments to them every week or go to another gym for my Funk. This is of course allowed since it is a chain gym. There's one in the center of Helsinki and another one not far from mine. I'll have to see their schedules once they are released. and figure out which busses I can take. It's just going to be a hassle. I might have to start liking pump and step classes. I was getting really good at funk too.
My love just told me they want to send him to the States already this year. Uh oh. I can't go until a year form now cause I have a fixed-term work contract. Well figure it out. The thing is we really want to go abroad together. Have to join the green card lottery...
Now back to work. I was planning on writing at home, but I can never bring myself to sit at the computer after a day of work doing just that...

Party party, no more student loan!

So the party was good. I kept my image of being the party-type. Sadly we had to leave after 2 in the morning because the party was like 60 km from our house and the other people from that direction were tired. So as not wanting to pay 100 euro for the cab alone, we left with the group of tired people. Might have been a good idea, since my love was sort of wasted. Well, we made it home alright. I paid for the cab in the end, but everyone had already paid their share today. Which is quite nice, since the cabfare has not been taken from my account yet. I could tell you more, but we'll save the best bits for X-mas family chats. ;)
I did something outrageous today... I paid off my student loans. The interest was rising like every month so I got bored of it. Now I have a relationship loan from my love. No interest there. (haa, you could read that so wrong...) It's not going to take me long to repay Jaakko though. I'm going to get a raise after I get my official diploma. So more money coming in. I'll be earning more than Jaakko.... :) Of course I still have to pay back my student allowances from the beginnign of this year. Damn those earning limits! But I guess I can afford to pay them back. It just angers me that I did not have time to take all that free money from the government. I think they should just give the rest of the months as a lump sum. That would surely make people graduate faster. ;) Maybe I should start a movement for this...
I'm so looking forwards to X-mas. The whole family together again. Loads of board games, perhaps some new ones as well... And cheeses. And all those X-mas foods.
There's a party tonight we are going to. It was supposed to be a "wear a suit" kinda thing, but I guess some people didn't like the idea and now I just have to wear jeans and not my lovely dress. It will be fine though. I like my jeans as much.
Then the Independence Day. I get to look at dresses all night on the TV at the castle ball. :) I don't think Jaakko is all that excited about it, since we haven't gotten invites to go anywhere and we will just be spending the night at home watching it. Well first we'll have to clean the aquariums and the apartment again. Seems like all we have time for at home is cleaning. And it's still always a mess. We're trying anyhow...
Back to work.

Pre-christmas party today

Yup, X-mas is nearing and today is the big work pre-christmas party. Most of us young people are going. It's gonig to be quite interesting because this is one of many dates that the company is throwing these parties. In a company of like thousands, not everyone can fit into just one place at one time. So we might end up chatting to some firemen or process guys if we wander far from our own table. Hopefully there are not assigned seats. I'd be sure to be stuck between the biggest bosses not being able to drink or talk during the whole night thinking I'd say something wrong. But I guess that's the point of a pre-x-mas party to drink too much, say stupid things to your bosses and wind up going home with someone at the party. The last is luckily guaranteed because to some weird reason they wanted avecs there too. So Jaakko is coming. I suppose they think people will drink less with the ball and chain at the party. They forgot to realize this is not the case with most young folks. We drink more. Cause we always have the other person to walk home with. and no fear of hitting on someone horrible whilst out of our minds.
Should be good then. Plus I get to wear my new party dress, and green shoes and the perfectly matching green bag. Gotta love them.
So still at work. My simulation is taking way too long. But it is looking hopeful though, under a hundred variables that havent converged yet. It's been like 3 hours...
Went shopping for presents yesterday. How am I supposed to know what other people like? Really difficult. I end up buying stuff I like that I think everyone else will like. And then everyone gets green presents. Luckily some presents are easy to buy. The neighbours just told us they want a toaster. Of course we had already gotten them other presents so this year they're getting loads of presents. (hope they don't read this) Yes, we are quite early with this. ;)
I'll read something worthwhile now for work. Later!
Great weekend everyone!!!
