Conversation Between Maximilianus and Annamariah

  1. That I'm almost halfway through university only means that I was lucky enough to get in straight after upper secondary school, while for some people it takes several years

    I'll try to be patient. Of course mothers go first Perhaps if you start practising now, next year you'll be able to bake her a cake yourself It's not difficult if you have good instructions. You'll find tons of recipes on the Internet for whatever you want to make

    Sure I can bake, though I won't say I'm such a great cook. Pretty much all Finns can cook, as we have "domestic science" as a compulsory subject in comprehensive school. The lessons consist mostly of cooking, though there's also some cleaning and stuff like that. There are usually about five small kitchens in the classroom. On a normal lesson students are divided into groups of three or four people and each group has one kitchen where they work together to prepare a meal (main course, salad and dessert).
  2. Halfway through university is really good for your age. It means you've been working hard, but remember not to overstress (will do you more wrong than good).

    Wait a little longer please! Sunday was my mom's birthday and I tried to play the diligent son role the best I could I bought her a cake because I can't make one myself (you think I should learn? ) Can you make a birthday cake? I bet you can

    The major catch about social contact IRL is that you're often required to sacrifice your own nature to please the natures of others. When you don't comply with a bunch's ideologies, the bunch will try to coerce you. If you think you need that contact badly, then you will surrender. Surrender wouldn't work for me, and as much as I know you it wouldn't satisfy you either. That's why we'll both have to keep walking alone until I cross the ocean Come to think of it, I'll have to swim alone too... unless a dolphin wants to give company
  3. Now if this is my third year and I'll stay in schedule, which means that one should get their Master of Arts in five years (3 years for Bachelor of Arts, then 2 more for Master's degree), I'm almost halfway through university.

    I'm really looking forward to those PMs

    See you

    About social life - I think having one might be nice. Every now and then I find myself wishing I had some human contact IRL and not just online. But online is much better than not at all
  4. I've been told the same about third years... it seems the number three is a pretty much damned number How many more years you have to go?

    I'll be back later... with a reply to your PM's and very probably... yet another PM

    Bye for now... but never forever

    PS: I don't have one either (a social life), but don't worry about it. Social life is highly overrated, while it doesn't really solve any major problem... I think.
  5. This is my second doctor at the university student health service, I got a new one after the first one took sick leave. There's only so much one can do with this condition, it's different for everyone and what works for one might only make other one worse.

    I think the main reason why it's this bad at the moment is stress, but it's just impossible to get rid of stress in this society, where one is supposed to study and work and have hobbies and a social life (which I don't have) at the same time.

    Some say that the third year of studies is the hardest one, and I really hope it's true. Otherwise I'm not sure if I'll ever manage to graduate if it's getting even worse after this
  6. Have you looked for a second opinion? Ever saw other doctors to get a wider view? Just a thought, but maybe you should see another doctor. Probably look for someone with newer ideas, if there are any.
  7. I love sleeping long nights, it's just that my skin doesn't... I guess my record was when I woke up half past eight in the evening, which I have to admit made me feel a bit uncomfortable - I really have no regular sleeping pattern whatsoever. Also waking up around 4-5 pm at this time of year means that the sun has already set, so no daylight for me during winter weekends...

    My skin is only getting worse, even the antibiotics I ate last week didn't help at all. I have a doctor's appointment in a week, but I'm afraid she's running out on ideas about what to do with me.

    When it comes to music and high notes, I'm always serious

    Actually I prefer the wastewater treatment thing to plastic industry, at least I know what I'm translating. Only the original text is so badly written Finnish that it's difficult to translate it into fluent English...

    Great, then you'll have time to go through my PMs and tell me what you think about them
  8. You slept 16 hours nonstop? I envy you, that's one thing I couldn't do. My sleeps are always intermittent. That itch is nowhere near to move away? Hope it's a bit better ... is it?

    So you're seriously a soprano... I thought you were joking when you spoke about screaming the high notes Now I will really have to take that seriously... since you're the very first soprano I directly know

    Wastewater treatment... sounds very much as a combination of "eek" and "yuck"

    The coming week will be apparently easier
  9. It's great to hear you managed to finish you work I too have been a little sleep-deprived lately, but then yesterday I woke up at 5 pm after 16 hours of sleep. It was great to be able to sleep late for once, but of course my skin wasn't very happy with it, and I felt awful when I got up

    Remember to tell me how your musical career is getting on I'm still a soprano (I'm pretty sure I once told you I'm the one who screams all the high notes when necessary )

    Now I should be finishing a translation about wastewater treatment, but quite frankly I really don't feel like it at all... I managed to make a rough translation last night (stayed up till 5 am because of it), so it shouldn't really take that much effort anymore.

    Are you going to have an easier week ahead of you? I hope you're not overworking yourself
  10. Hi Lady Finn!

    I actually overworked a little, only to become a bit crazier than usual Anyhow I could manage to finish that task I was assigned and the guy I was working for was quite thankful and praising me all the time It was a stressful week, almost little or no sleep at all until I finished, and now I feel sleepier than usual. It seems the cumulated sleepiness came to me, all at once

    I'm so sorry about your tuning fork! I never broke my harmonica... mainly because... I haven't used it yet I read they are quite sensitive instruments and that it's easy to wear them out once you use them extensively. I guess I will know by myself when I get to blow it more often

    I'm eager to know your voice type and I think you should post a recording so we can appreciate your talent at large I'm even thinking that it would be nice to have a type of Lit Net orchestra, though I'm not sure of how to put it into effectiveness
