Exercise
Got some visitors today, some family, my second cousin and her family, super lovely people, love them to pieces. We went to the cafeteria together and everything, but my diet went a bit haywire because when I get visitors, I don't count calories, I think it's sort of rude. So I just ate at the same rate as they did.
Exercise was minimal, but still:
20 squats plus holding one squat extra for 10 seconds
10 lunges per leg
20 pushups
30 crunches
Plus the small walk to the cafeteria and back.
I'm also sorry for the lack of posts, Blogger wouldn't accept any photos or video yesterday.

Day XVI: Ballet and Tchaikovsky
I have in the last few days been listening a lot to classical music, and especially my favourite: Tchaikovsky. I love his small changes in tone, his songbirdlike quick notes, and just the sheer elegance of his works. My favourite is the Dance of the Little Swans from Swan Lake, but when it comes to a full work, I prefer the Nutcracker. I know my father, though Tchaikovsky is far from his favourite composer, prefers the Sleeping Beauty.
Act 1 of the Nutcracker Ballet

Day XIII: My academic day
Yes, today will be a very academic day for me. I will stop thinking about all other things apart from essays. I will only write my essays.
As if that's going to happen. But no, seriously, I do need to write. I need to write alltogether about 60 pages of essays before the end of the year, which to be honest, sounds horrible but isn't all that much. I'm at the moment writing a 20 page essay, haven't gotten past page 2 but I still know I'll manage twenty pages in no time. It's always the subject that's the problem. If the subject feels bad, something boring or difficult, you know immediately that you can't write that much about it. But if it feels interesting, it doesn't matter how hard, you'll still do it.
I suppose I have mentioned about my studies and about the fact that I'm 20 ECTS (study points) away from being a Bachelor of Arts, yes? I studiy humanities, or to be precise, English philology (yes yes I know it sounds like philosophy but it has nothing to do with that). I've been studying for 3½ years now, and I feel it's time to move on. I will finish after my BA and start something else.
I would really like to get into a polytechnic and study international business, but we'll see if I get through the exams. In any case, I don't want to go to Tampere anymore, I want to stay at home, in the south. I want to stay at home with my dad and our dogs. So for at least half a year I won't attend any school.
I will get my BA done before the end of the year, which means that spring semester I will ask Kela not to pay me any benefits, and will just be on a unpaid holiday for the time being.
All this illness and being in hospital and the stress of school alltogether have made me realise that I really need some time off, I just can't do it anymore, not like this. I need some time just for me. Just for my family and enjoy my life so that I get my mental health into order as well.
I will also get rid of my apartment in Tampere, so I'll have to go there with my dad to pack up things, and then I'll sell all the furniture and give the keys back to TOAS.
This is my plan, and personally, I feel it's a good plan, I've gotten approval for it from many people I know, people who are very close to me, so I think it will go just right.
But now, it's time for me to write those essays, otherwise I'll be stuck in blogger all day!

My physiotherapist said it would be quite okay for me to walk around a bit everyday and that I'm allowed to do my muscle exercises, just as long as I don't go straining myself. So I've started taking 20 minute walks and doing my butt workout plus a few pushups, so I don't wither away whilst I lose weight!

Photos XVI: Rose tattoos
After the previous photopost I did, with the tattooed thinspiration, I felt I really have to do one with just tattoos, because like I said, I love tattoos. I think I've always loved them, since I was little, but I knew my parents hated them so I rarely talked about them. Now as I said, I have four, and I plans for about eight new ones. And I don't mean some really quickly thought ideas that I'll never get done, no, I have plans for eight tattoos and I've been thinking of them all for years now. So I will definitely get them done, and am quite sure, I won't regret them. Just need to keep them easily coverable, that's all.
Now this time I decided on roses for the theme because they're one of my favourite flowers. I love almost all flowers, even if you might not guess it, I quite a nature person, especially for cottage gardens and small dainty woods (forests), sort of the epitomy of English countryside, but my absolute favourite flowers are roses, lilies and foxgloves.
Also my second name means lily or rose in Hebrew.
