My dutch best friend was here this weekend, oh how good to see her!
I decided to throw the thesis plan in the trash; why not do a proper graduation project, not just a portfolio + some arbitrary research? Which could mean a type project. (And some text about the process.)
I had a teacher who said to put down your top five goals on index cards and to everyday write down one tiny step that you have done to achieve the goal. According to the rules of my teacher, if after two weeks you have done nothing then you have to throw away the index card as it is something you must not really want. (…)
Right.

soundtrack: Sia – I go to Sleep
Apologies for the under the weather post(s). It’s the travel bug/missing friends/no sunlight combination. Also I’ve found out that not working on any designs of my own is making me quite insufferable. But I’ll have more time for my own stuff soon.
I turned in my BA thesis plan this week. What I would need is a life plan, though. Business studies, WT, t&m or what next? I see some pro con lists and frantic portfolio making in my near future.
P.S. The mystery postcard sender tells there are no clues to give. The debatable scariness of Helsinki is for him to find out, I think…

soundtrack: fink – see it all
(Yes it’s always gray in Finland.)
November is the longest month. Lately I’ve been missing the Sea, and you know, wondering why I came back at all…

Blue morning light and my first Christmas ornament. I thought a postcard from Bremen would surely be from J. but no, it’s another mystery! What a coincidence, perhaps they met?
A friend is writing Nano and asked me for a writing prompt of ten words. You may use them too (or learn some Finnish):
punajuuri beetroot, pussittava baggy, nahkea leathery (or clammy?), surma death, nokoset nap, oivaltaa realize, turilas Tootletubs, uskollinen faithful, murjotus scowl, silmukka loop
The amazing Home project.
P.S. I am lost for new music lately, what are you listening?
