Time has gone fast and it is almost April already (BTW my birthday is in two weeks). Last month was relaxing with the spring break which was the best holiday ever. So warm and full of different events. My family was here for two weeks and we traveled all over Florida, including Orlando and Miami. It was nice but still two weeks with your mam and dad 24/7 is enough for a while :D

School started again and I'm starting to see why people are leaving this school and transferring to bigger and I think to the better schools. There are more than ten people who left the school during the spring break, so maybe the NU faculty now realizes what they are doing wrong :)Also next years tuition went up about $1,000, so who has 30,000 dollars a year to give their children's education on this economic situation? School is nice and teacher's are decent but still $30,000 is too much. Still I like this country, especially sport events. If I would stay here for rest of my life, I would definitely buy season tickets to all NHL and NBA games.

Finnish Kingdom in Glenmoor Drive is struggling financially, as always :D So lets see who are coming back next fall. I can honestly say that I'm not coming here if I don't get a job for summer. I can easily graduate from NKUAS next year. Now the situation is 50/50 and the job is the most significant factor when I'm doing my decision. I miss my team mates back home but I will miss my team mates here also.

I love the fact that the sun is shining and I think that I'm heading to take some tan...Later some homework... See u guys/babes in 8 weeks...And JIPPO good luck for the games this weekend...

Long time ago

I just realized that I haven't updated my blog for a while. Now I found a way to get my blog in facebook too, so that means double fun :D Or another reason might be that I haven't done anything special...You can say that our life has been quite boring after holiday, but I'm still feeling good. WPB starts to feel like home now and this was not the case before Christmas.

We found a new hobby when Joonas bought Rock Band game for PS3. Since that day, we have played too much, considering the fact that those songs suck balls. Following picture you can check out our band called "Tsadi" or "Tzadi".


We started our practice this week. Two times a week in a gym and once on a field. Great feeling to practice again and I want to send greetings to my JIPPO mates, who are running in ice hockey arena :D Here training is so much easier but not so effective. Hopefully we play few matches before summer.

School is same old, not too hard but you still have to put your effort in. Two and half weeks left for this term and then little holiday before the last one. My parents are visiting me, so it won't be such a traditional holiday (=drinking and sun bathing). It will be fun because we are going to Orlando for a week, visiting Disney World and Movie studios.

That's all for now, I have to continue to find a job for summer, if I want to come back here for next fall, lets see what happens, my plans are still open...

Winter Break is over

Break is over and on Sunday it is time to head back to WPB. I am so ready to go because it is freezing out here. -20 degrees is too much for me right now. I have been inside our house for two days now. When plane leaves at 07.45 I will be more than happy to go for a while. Monday is a school day already so it won't be fun too long...Exams are waiting and group works, blaaaah. Future looks quite bright right now. I agreed to play with JIPPO until year 2010 but living in US means that I have to practice on my own, and that is not my speciality. I left the backdoor open for Northwood. I can leave JIPPO on August and go back to West Palm for the season. Then I move back to Finland for Christmas and I go back to my old school after New Year. I don't want to leave Northwood after one season and I need to see if Jere is going to score more than twice next year. This is not 100% plan and there is a chance that I won't go back to WPB after summer. Lets see if can achieve an agreement with Northwood coach. But lets see what happens during the spring...Christmas was fun and New Year was fun but now it is time to go back and start work again. See you on May...
