Master of Science (econ.)

Yes, bitches! I'm done, through, finito! The language advisors dropped the key to the door that leads out of the halls of academia, and now I'm off like a prom-dress!

Don't Eat Yellow Snow

2008-06-17T05:45:13Z

..or how not to write a thesis. This little book of mine (book! mine!) has been the cause of a lot of stress, a lot of times when the house looked like trolls lived here and I didn't clean, and a lot of "could you put it on mute, I'm trying to wr...

A Celebration Of All The Silly Things I Wore During The Eighties And Nineties

2008-05-30T05:37:40Z

Less than an hour to the diploma-thing with the champagne and strawberries where I get my bachelor's papers in this. This will most likely be the last event of this kind in my life. And so, as a woman, I started to think about all the funny stuff ...

I Wouldn't Be Drunk Otherwise,But My Thesis Supervisor Forced Me...

2008-05-28T19:43:36Z

"..right. So can I write the final essay (a paper we have to write about the master's thesis which proves we've actually written the whole thing all by ourselves) on friday morning? And then hand it in whenever it comes back from the bookbinder's...

Things On Tuesday

2008-05-27T09:37:33Z

Loooooooooove: I get to take the thesis to the bookbinders and give it in! After 9 months of work I get to give in something that has been approved by the Heavyweighters Of Academia, and I can tell people that I have actually written a thesis. I'...

On Writing A Thesis

2008-04-19T15:47:17Z

One of the loveliest quotes ever. It wasn't originally created for describing the work that goes into a master's thesis, but let's not let that stop us. "When I hear people talking about writer's block I only get annoyed. You write, that's it. D...

The Pain Of Creation

2008-03-27T18:26:31Z

I'm feeling the need to open up once more. The thesis-thing is going along pretty well and it shouldn't be many more months left. I'm 75 pages strong and aiming at 80, but there will be a lot of re-writing to do. And finally, after more or less s...

Day 3 Of My Vacation

2008-03-12T17:47:59Z

Today I got my treatment-papers from my internet-doc. Aka Dad. I phoned him, he mailed me. I need to stretch my knee even more than I have, and in a month or so when I'll be back in Turku I'll get a cortisone-shot into it. I <3 Cortisone/lidocain...

"Winter"

2008-02-01T07:49:43Z

Ok, the 1st of february. A few days ago we had a helluva snowfall. Followed by equally much rain. It's really, actually february and we've had no winter. Ok, so last "summer" was a rainy bitch of 3 months too, but last winter I remember this tim...

Hitting My Head Into The Walls Of Academia

2008-01-25T08:57:18Z

One of my favourite phrases is "wandering through the halls of academia". I don't know why. I suppose it embodies all the pompousness and unattainability of academic education, and kind of brings it all up to an accurate level of snob. I still li...
