#11

The start of the week has been rather busy! On Sunday I basically just lay in bed sleeping when I was supposed to do an assignment... on Monday, I had a long day of school (9 hours - a full day and the Swedish exam after that) and I was at work archiving some papers for my father for 11 hours, although I only worked for 9 of those since I went to pick up the latex ear tips, some jeans and fabric in the afternoon with a friend. The assignment's deadline had been extended until Tuesday evening but obviously I didn't even remember that and was completely knackered when I got home from work, anyway. Apparently the alphabetizing I did was done well though, so I'm glad!

HIDDLES TIME:

First of all, the DVDs arrived yesterday! I was very tired when I came home from work, but then I saw the "You have a large package" -note and I just ran off because the post office was going to be open for another 40 minutes. I haven't had any time to watch them yet, so I've had to settle with just touching them every once in a while. Turns out that the mini series and apparently also War Horse are going to be aired on Finnish TV as well this month? I'm rather confused but totally fine with it, hee hee.

SECOND OF ALL. Remember when I thought that the Coriolanus footage wasn't going to come to cinemas in Finland? IT. DID. Just last night I Googled it just for the sake of it and found out that the only showing was almost sold out! Basically I panicked and wailed at my friends, and one of them promised to go with me. So I bought 2 tickets when there were only 4 left! I'm so happy ~

I've forgotten to eat out of my advent calendar for several days. The chocolate just does not appeal to me.

My parents have been hooked on Downton Abbey since it started airing in Finland, and lately I've been watching it with them! It's a good show, but considering my academic "prestige" watching TV shows and movies every night is not a very productive endeavour. Normally when I watch on my computer, I can kind of work simultaneously (or at least between episodes) but the shows we watch tend to be either long in and of themselves or just getting to watch them is a time-consuming project. I've been trying to keep to a good sleeping pattern too, so working at night isn't very easy.

I just realized how fast the Hobbit movie viewing has snuck up on me! I started knitting the ponchette today, and I still need to at least sew the tunic I bought some heavy, warm fabric for. I have a big hunk of fleece for the cloak as well, but I can use that as is with some creative safety pins in a pinch.

Time to go enjoy some (real) chocolate and old school detective stories by Agatha Christie!
