30. Time for this blog to be updated.....

Sooo as i think u might have noticed i've been extremely lazy and unproductive in what comes to running this blog. I have no excuses.

And i had this wonderful idea of showing off all this cool stuff i've bought during last 3 months or so, but i just got an inspiration out of the blue and just had to get this post done :___D anyway, i've got a deadline approaching next morning (the report which i've barely started), so i dont use time to take any new pictures now. As it's been so long, i just write anything that comes to my mind that i've been up to lately!! Please enjoy.

So it's been nearly a month. Which means a lot of action, a lot lazying around and a lot of school. I've been quite unsocial, to be honest, and the nights spent out sitting in a pub discussing basic stuff and politics might not be the ones you're particularly interested in :D

Well as i said i went sky diving!! It's probably been the most amazing thing in this month!! but it really was amazing O.O" I mean, i was scared to death and shitting myself when the plane took off, but it was worth it :__D

We took a bus to this military base in 90 minutes drive away from Kingston, it was somewhere near Stonehedge (apparently u could've seen it up from the air but i didnt know that before it was too late XD). The journey started 6:30 saturday morning, but i slept for the whole time so it was ok. The ppl were amazing and the atmosphere in society was great. I think it helped we all were in the same situation and gonna do something none of us had done before, so it was easy to bond :33

First we had this ground training for 6 hours, they told us how to jump (the landing pattern, rigth jumping position etc) and how to change to the spare canopy in case the main one wouldn't work... it seems 1 in every 700 has a malfunction so we just had to hope and pray it wouldn't be any of us :_D on that day we couldn't jump (it was dark when we finished), so we headed back to leave our stuff in the barracks where we were supposed to sleep that night, in sleeping bags with tens of rndm ppl.

The most amazing part of the trip, at least for me, comes next. We walked back to the jumping centre, and the stars just...... lsdjlksajld *www* it was the most beautiful starry sky i've ever seen in my life, just left me breathless. We could see the milky way and all these fancy star-figures i couldn't recognise. Then we went to bar and had a great night there, but at some point during the night me and some guys went out and just looked to the space and into the stars, we were all a bit drunk so it all seemed even more amazing than before, we talked about life and i seriously was wondering why i'm studying politics when there's the whole amazing sky above us and ppl seem so small and meaningless.. Then there was a shooting star. Whooooommm. The perfect night created.

the training place

some bad-ass military plane *www*

this was the baby we jumped from~ (see the sexy coveralls we used<3)

sky full of jumpers~

going to the plane

hahahaha this happened when we went back to the pub after having seen the shooting star, all amazed by the beauty of the galaxy... this dude drinking beer from a shoe. welcome to england.

oh god it was so beautiful on the jumping morning ;; but cold, see the snow on the roof tops!!

then this plane because u just have to love planes and it's so top gun B)

then there are us in the plane...

...aaaand off we go!!

Then what have i been doing...? I've made some new friends and been to movies and stuff like that but i think that's it :__D pretty boring things lately.... BUT OH WAIT!

I did do something. This saturday i went to see jason mraz at the O2 arena!! It was quite extempore, i only booked the tickets the night before the show hehe. I really love his music and lyrics, but i didnt have any bigger expectations for the gig, however, i can say it made it to the TOP5 of all the lives i've ever been to, and i've been to some real kick-ass concerts so thats pretty well :DD

Though, it was pretty lonely there :___D the whole place was full of couples from every continent, nearly all the songs and speeches were about love on some level and there even was a proposal during the concert.... then there was me, awkwardly trying to enjoy the night amongst all those lovers. Well there was two empty seats right behind me and it gave me some hope; i kept on imagining it was booked by some couple who had had a terrible brake-up just before the night and now were crying their eyes off somewhere... Might be horrible, but we dont know if that was what had happened for real so i can keep my vision :_D

Note to self: do not go to these kinds of events on the days when you feel alone and miss someone.

outside

and in.

had a good view

Goooood it looked so wonderful when all these ppl were holding their phones up to the music ;; these kind of moments i really feel the awesomeness of the life

But musically and on every other level it was amazing and gets the iruze-approves stamp. Go if u have a chance and like his music.

Yepp. Then here's a perfect metaphor about the kind of life i lived in november....

Drinking my tea from this on computer....

...on the table that looks like this...

...in this mess i call my room. Mom, if u read this i do apologise.

Kingston Christmas market :33

On my way to school, leaves everywhere.

hahaha ok one day i went to walk around this cemetary, it's located _right _next to _our halls. you can see the building in the end of that path. im sure i couldn't sleep if i had a room facing this way just saying..

the clayhill cat :333 he lives on the campus and belongs to no-one so i took him up to keep me some company, he was so needy and happy to get some love ;;<3

hahaha then earlier today there was this incident when i passed the fire extinguisher.... it just fell from the wall and the alarm went off. now it's left this way.. for our luck we eat a lot of pizza in this flat and are lazy to clean so we had some pizza boxes we could use. i dont know if i should laugh or cry. i really should try and be more hardworking.

Also, sorry for the lack of self-pictures lately, next post will consist of them i promise. But while waiting here u have one! I dont prove-read this post to save some time this time, so please ignore the possible typos!! Oh, and happy December~ :33

28. Visitors and travelling (+fucking many pictures)

Hullo, can't believe it's November already!!

Once again, I've been buuuusy (well most of the time, at least XD). I had Kukka visiting me for two whole weeks, so the time I wasn't in school I had better things to do than being on computer :D even once it's this way heha. Most of the days we just sat in my flat doing nothing much (I got her hooked in Supernatural so we watched like two seasons of that), ate a looooooot, and I had rehearsals basically every day last week, so the nights went for those.

This week, however, we're having an 'Enrichment Week' at Uni, which means no lectures yeyy. So I do actually have something to blog about~ On Saturday we made this school trip to Oxford, a simple one-day bus trip for our Understanding Britain course. Then on Monday we went to London, did some shopping and visited AQUARIUM *ww* This was first time for me, like ever ever ever, in a proper aquarium (strange i never visited one in jpn o.o"), so i reaaally was looking forward to it!!

And then the next day, yesterday it is, we went to Camden Town for some more shopping, and at night to the London Dungeons! So something halloweenish~

Tho we went shopping in the central london, it actually became clear the best place to shop was..... tyndyndyyyyyy.... in kingston, right next to the uni :_D it was much less ppl there and no such a rush that we had in london. The shops were all in the same area and we have quite a big selection of different stores there, so from this day on i might prefer buying my stuff there..!! If you visit london it definitely is worth checking.

Then, after having done some morning shopping this morning, we headed back home and started packing for this night's flight. Meaning, I'm BACK IN FINLAND NOW! 

It feels just amazing to be back. It's strange, i've never been one of those who become homesick or prefer home country to living abroad, but this time i'm just really glad to be back for these few days. Or maybe living abroad makes me appreciate things here more, dunno. I'll be back on Sunday already, so now I just make the best of these 3,5 days i'll have here! Most of my hours are already booked, so i'll get to meet many friends and do a lot of things :3 more about that later.

Now, for it's late already, i'll just post here some random photos from last weeks with some words written under them. Hope you guys like, here we gooo!

The dungeons. The place was SO COOL! not that scary, nothing like the scaring-the-crap-out-of-you-hospital-thing in fujikyu, but it was just a great deal of fun! The actors, the music and the props, everything was great! Highly recommend.
