Training, school and economics. What a mix.
Okay, I've been wanting to post for some days now, but things have come up and in the way for it. (Like internet not working)!
Okay, first things first. Tonight was a training night. Well, technically most nights are training nights if I choose to go to some of all the extra training, but tonight is a regular. So I thought I'd work hard, make sure my feet positions were right and then after training ask my tuesday trainer about graduation last in this month.
I want to be green for christmas and I'm really working to get ready for it. Most of the people I've talked to says they think I'm ready for green belt, but Bo hesistated. He said he'd tell next week and then I reminded him there's no training tuesday next week 'cause of the communal voting.
*sigh* Fine, so I just decided to stretch out a little before hitting the sauna with the guys and not to let it ruin my mood. I've kept a good mood the entire day despite rain, computer problems and annoying users on the site I'm a moderator on. (Can't people learn how to search and read?)
Well, I ended up talking one of the other girls in the changing room, both of us having some frustrations with our trainer and his dragging the graduations out. She's not being allowed to graduate in three weeks and just about everyone else(but Bo) thinks she's ready. Really he's got too much power when it comes to who gets to graduate next time and who doesn't.
Anyway, once she left I quickly finished changing to my bikini, got under the shower and into the sauna. A lovely warm sauna. Ah. :D
Well, the company is always nice and we talked about this and that and enjoyed the heat. (And plenty of water to drink, of course). To my surprise Bo joined us, whiich I hadn't expected at all. And then he broke the topic I'd started about graduation and started saying what he thought I neede to work on and what he though I did well. I kinda just nodded and made small comments while in my head I was thinking 'Why didn't you say any of this during training?'
I mean, if he thinks I need to work on precision when why the hell doesn't he say something while we are still training, so I can focus on it? Telling me half on hour later is supposed to do what? Make me start practising in the sauna? Go home, tired after training, and do half an hour of training then? Wait until thursday to start focusing on this? It just doesn't make sense to me. He's supposed to teach me, well then teach me while we're still traning, not after. *sigh*
Okay, I think that is tonights frustrations. Mind you, my mood is actually still pretty good despite it; nothing can get me down today and I won't let a few frustrations with one of my trainers get me down. :P Anyway, he ended up saying he think I should go up to graduation, but stressing that I should work on precision. Fine, I'll work on precision. There's a reason I do technique training at any rate. ;)
Going back a little further, I now have mobile internet. Yeah! :D I got an offer to get it for free from my internet company and picked it up this friday.
Couldn't get it to work in the train going to Århus, but sunday night when my moms wireless decided it didn't want to work(and I wanted to be online), I tried again and it worked. - After I put it into another USB port and it reinstalled itself. *shrug* Wierd, but online I came. :)
So, my take on it so far is this; it's slow and ustabile, but it beats not having any internet and I'm going to continue testing it on train journey during the next six months while it's free. If I still arrive to the conclusion it's too slow and ustabile I'll ask them to close the deal before I'll have to start paying for it. ;)
Going back to present time. Today I finished one of my courses, this time 'grænseflade design'(Userinterface design) and it's definitely one of the reasons I'm so happy today. Now I only need two more lessons in Programming and then it's christmas holidays! :D Okay, it's gonna be a long christmas this year, but I don't mind that at all. ;) I just wish I had more money to spend on 'fun' things.
Talking about money... I got a good nice portion back for paying too much for my heat in Oktober and then the rest in November(it being counter drawn to my rent), so I've finally managed to get my credit down again and I don't plan of just throwing that away. I've set a new goal which getting it back under 26,000. This late spring and summer it was up around 30,000 and I really didn't like that. :/ So, I've decided to make 26 my new goal and then 25.
Of course this means I'll have to keep an eye on what I spend money on that isn't necessary. It also means that some of the things I thought I'd buy for myself this month have gone to the 'wait 'til I have more money' list. :/ I'm going to Collectormania in Copenhagen in 1½ week and going to Copenhagen is not cheap from up here, not even with a student's wildcard. So, no corset/west for a pirate costume. No books or comics(that one is hard, but it just didn't make it). I'm still thinking of getting some leather to work with during my holidays and then some autographs while I attend Collectormania. And that's pretty much it.
I've already spend money on getting a new footpedal for my sewing machine and 'accidentally' bought some nice kvartz booksupport stones/krystals. So, I really can't allow myself to buy too many other things this month.
Okay, I know I should get a job. Even if it's only a temporary one. I really should. Then I could have money for the books and comics I want and start saving for CV... (I really wish to go, but going to the states just isn't cheap). It isn't easy finding a job, but I should start to look again. I'm not stressed out anymore, so it's the perfect time to start looking.
Perhaps I should make a deal with myself; start job hunting this week and cross fingers that I find something. :)
Wow, this is getting long even by my standards. :P Hmm, I really have a lot of other things on my mind, but I'll save you for more ravings for now and probably tune in sometime again this week. ;)
Edit to say: Also I've been having these vicious plot bunnies on my mind ever since me and some of the other clones talked of going in to see the New Moon premiere, that insist that I should do a vampire story. A vampire story in star wars... Um, yeah. So you might start to speculate about that one. By now it's not 'a story' anymore; it's a whole damn timeline! With vampires in star wars. (And no, not Twilight vampires; I make my own rules)! :P Like I didn't have enough fanfic ideas already. So, it's one of those things that occupy my mind when nothing else is. Or just in the moments in between. Or the whole time. :P
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing New Moon with the gals(and the two guys in our group). And I've got the tickets! Muhahaha!! ;D
