BIG news!

PAO! Today Taokaka will represent my moods throughout this post :3

Like some of you might have read from last post's comments, I got accepted to FKF!

The story goes, that when I posted the last post about waiting, the very next day that very waited letter popped down in my mailbox. For the whole time I had been half asleep and instantly woke up at the time a doorbell rang or the mail slammed on the floor through the mail box (it's not a box, you idiot.. it's just a whole in a door. with a lid.).

So, basically when that letter arrived, I didn't care at all for the results from the universities. And when they finally arrived, turned out, that I wasn't accepted either of those. So FKF is the only place I got accepted to. But thank heavens for that, I still can roll on the floor for all the joy! I finally can study Japanese "full time"!

After that I instantly had to send applications to couple of landlords in Vaasa, so I could get a roof on top of my head too. And it was getting to drain my sanity, when there was no answer until 5 days ago. I was offered an apartment with ~420€/month rent, which is basically all I get as financial aid from government. All this automatically equals "TAKE A STUDENT LOAN". I really don't like the idea, because I already had that for one year and the amount creeps me out. But in this situation, it seems there's no other option at this time.

So yes, I GET TO MOVE OUT FROM HERE! Finally! After 4 long years in Savonlinna, I'm moving all the way to the west coast. Bye bye, Russian tourists!

This also means, that there won't be mommy visiting me every weekend (and maybe not even every other month). So it'll be stretching out my wings, though I'm a little scared.

I can thank Emma for being my friend and telling me about FKF's existence. Without her I would probably cry on the floor right now. You'll be hanging out with me while I'm there, right? Pretty puwease!

Also my friend Karo deserves to be thanked. She helped me out with the application I sent to FKF, so also big thanks to her!

The apartment I'm moving in, is quite big for one person to live. But I won't complain, I'm just thankful they found a free apartment right in time. I'll be moving out 22nd of July. That's 5 nights from now, so.. I'll guess we're back to square one: waiting.
I've rent a van for this trip and I guess my sister and I are going to drive that ~470km of road together. Karo is also joining us to help with unpacking the car. The nasty part is, that neither of us (my sister and I are the only ones with driver's license) have any experience driving a van. Wellp, it'll be an adventure for all of us :3

But, though I'm ready to go, I've still got to wait the 5 nights. And clean up the apartment I'm leaving from. Simply put: I can't hold myself still...
I've already packed my PS2 and PS3 and neither have I a television anymore, because the old one was on its last days. So, basically I'm out of entertainment. I just can't wait before I get to purchase a new tv (or projector perhaps), couple pieces of furniture and a new game to play before school starts. I already have my eyes on a game that I've never played, and hate myself for it. Here's some music as a hint:

Bye now :3

Still waiting... and waiting

POW! How's it been with you guys? Let's skip the usual apology and get straight to the topic.

Yeah, I graduated alright. And I still don't have any pictures from the party, because it takes some time to get them from my sister... So you guys MAY get to see some pictures, IF my sister sent them to me some time soon.

So, there's been a couple of entrance exams before and after graduation.
First one was for Lahti's university to study furniture designing and I didn't even get to the exam part; my works, that had to be made before handed, didn't score that high, so I was rejected.

Second one was for Helsinki's university to study Japanese language and culture, and the preparing for the test went BADLY wrong: I was reading mechanically, so I wasn't mentally really there when I read the history book (didn't even get to the half way..). AND the Finnish language book I had was the wrong one. So, basically one book I couldn't finish and the other wasn't even the correct one. Well, you guessed it: the exam went horribly and I was the very first one to leave (after 1 HOUR I've sat there, trying to write something.. I'm sure I sounded like a first grader in everything I wrote..). That leads to my conclusion of this exam: I'm not waiting to get accepted. It's impossible.

Right after graduation I sent my application to Fria Kristliga Folkhögskolan in Vaasa, to study Japanese language, culture, history and society. I had been writing that 1.5 pages long text for couple of months and I still think I didn't sound convincing enough to get my spot in their classroom. And I actually had to resent the papers very next day, because my school messed up with my grades: they forgot to put a mention about two courses I had attended to (without those I would had only 73 courses, which isn't enough to graduate from Finnish senior secondary high school). The answer SHOULD reach me by 28th of this month and I've still heard nothing.. Only two mornings with mail to go. Keep your fingers crossed!

The last entrance exam was a couple of days after the graduation and it was to Tampere's university to study game creating. In my opinion it went quite well, but I can be sure only when I can hear something from their way. They will release the info about accepted students 1st of July at the earliest. So, still waiting for that too.

One month has gone by and only one more to go, before I need to move out from this apartment. Kinda sad, since I've lived here for 4 years now, but it's finally time to move on and stretch my wings.

In the mean time I'll be playing games and translating for JaME. A friend of mine introduced me to the most popular fighting game in Japan: BlazBlue. And I'm already in love with its characters, especially Taokaka. She's stupid, but also represents the character of a cat: lazy and always hungry as fuck.

I hope I can get this blog up and running in the way I want soon, too. But for now, bye~

VIP for the GazettE's concert

..obtained!

Now, is there any among my readers, who are also going to attend this concert in Finland? Do you have a hunch how many VIPs there are all together? Would be nice to say hi in person. :3

It was a war to get a ticket to this concert. Tiketti.fi opened the line for these tickets at 8am and sales at 9am. Many didn't know, that there was lining even at the online store, so they kinda came to purchase their tickets 'late'. I was able to get a spot of very first customers in line, so there was no worries. I've got a VIP ticket for me and my good friend Henkka :3

This time the sales were more furious and fast than the last time the GazettE visited Finland; tickets were all sold out within a half an hour. VIPs were sold out a lot faster. But still I like tiketti.fi's methods of  using online line up. I guess those, who have experience with buying a VIP ticket via neotokyo.de, know why.

The last sixth of this year in high school is about to start. So, there will be only a few posts coming up, but I guess you guys have already gotten used to it, haha! After the school ends, I'll be telling stories about the party and the submissions I'm sending/have sent to the universities I'd like to continue my studies at. After that.. there might be some reviews of clothes. I dunno. We'll see~

Bye now!
