scribble-scrabble dribble-drabbles by the epicness of the mighty Milla

An Epic opening.. uh, thingie.
At first I'd like to point out that I'm a big fan (not that ventilating machine. By a fan I mean a fanatic, atleast, this time) of humour and dramatic stuff so never ever assume that I'd be capable of some serious sh- stuff. As you may have already noticed.

Since this is a spoken course, I have thought that I should continue with my beloved hobby, which is reading books outloud. I have a friend who loves to listen to me reading, whether it be in Finnish or in English, so I should probably use this opportunity to improve my English speaking skills. I have also thought if I could do one or two vlogging posts instead of just sitting in here and writing, but I guess I should ask the teacher first. (So yeah, Merjo, if you see this before tomorrow's lesson I'd like to know what you think about my idea.) Just because I'm hella lazy writer (even though I love writing, too).

But aaaanyways.
It's the first period and I'm tired as *insert a very inappropriate word*. I am a miserable human being when it comes to studying. I'm lazy and a high master of procrastinating, and it is OH SO HARD for me to get anything done. I always leave everything to the last minute (as you may have noticed, oopsie doopsie), and that is a bloody big problem, you know. It's not easy for me to concentrate in things I have absolutely zero interest in. But I'm trying to manage.

What comes to English, I've read every single book in English since the 7th grade. I just don't like poor translations, and by poor I mean translations that ACTUALLY SUCK SO BAD, if you know what I mean. I may have traumas from certain books-that-shall-not-be-named. Since 7th grade I have read about.. 3 or 4 books in Finnish (not including educational books). So.. Yeah.

I was positively surprised by this course. I didn't expect it to be so.. Spoken. I knew it was a spoken course, but yet I didn't think I'd get to speak so much although I still think we're not talking enough in the classes, to be honest. I like the way we changed from the normal class room to this one (partly because couches are oh-so-comfortable and I love that it feels like it's not just a lesson but a .. gathering or so).

So yeah. Things have started. Woah-wee. I didn't miss the studying, but I did miss the school

See ya fellas. Have a minion.

Second scribble-scrabble
I've forgotten to do only, like, everything? I'm such a lazy scatterbrained student. No-one should ever ask me to do anything because I will never do it on time. I really should tryna learn that though, it's a problem..

But aanyways.
Another week passed and time flies (a time fly oh my gods I'm so funny) way too fast. I have no idea what's going on. This week was mostly just doing these job-interview things and re-telling stuff. That job interviw thingie could've been useful, but I guess, because we did it in a classroom, it didn't feel so real and I just couldn't take it as seriously as I should have. We did the interviw practise with randoms (I mean - not with OMG BFF FUREVAH!!-style) but it went pretty well. We also did these word-guessing things - reminded me a lot of Alias, which is one of my favorite games ever - and oh my gods it was so much fun! We could select the pairs by ourselves and I did that with Salla. Explaining words was fun partly because we could use our hands too - we didn't only explain them, we acted them too, and because we are both dramatic acters, we laughed so much whilst doing that.

We had these Doctor's appointment -situations too in which we had to act out a few situations. We did this thing with Johanna and I laughed my head of. It was so fun! My absolute favorite was the dementia-part in which I was a dementic and she was the Doctor. I kinda over did it by forgetting everything I had just said and she really had trouble in trying to find out what the heck was wrong with me!

I've tried to read more english-stuff lately mostly because of the oncoming bigass examinations. I may be a little nervous, but I'm bad at taking stress on thigns so it's not a problem. We'll see what's going to happen.. eventually.
Here, have the cutest freaking dragon in the history of mankind.

Third thingie-wingie
It's actually pretty hard to recall things from the past one or two weeks. I usually remember everything, I mean, all the details, too, but now that there are so many stressing things around, my memory isn't quite in shape.. We'll see what happens in the matriculation exams. Perhaps I have dementia or something. I seriously can't remember much even though I've had SO MUCH FUN IN THE SPOKEN COURSE'S CLASSES. No, this is not the only course I can't recall properly. There is so freaking much things going through my mind right now that oh my gods, I can't remember a single thing from any of my classes. Not health education, not english, not literature. Nothing.

Let's see if I remember a little bit.
I've been absent and a little sick lately, so let's say it's because of that. U-huh.
We had a quiss in which I wasn't very good at. I've absolutely no interest in politics, so no wonder - I think politics is more of a old-grey-and-half-dead-grumpy-old-men-thing than for me. But anyways, I guessed everytime I had to answer something, and I mostly guessed the answer B, which was actually right (at least most of the time). I'm such a genious. I think I was the only one who knew that the letter "B" and "cabin three" -things were actually references and quotes from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians -series, but no worries. I had fun times watching Merjo wonder what the heck I was thinking saying "cabin three". "You mean three?" "Yes, three."

For the past few days I've only listened to musci, that's all I've done for english. NO, WAIT - I GOT A NEW FREAKING BOOK AND I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT IT! I'm a big, BIG, BIG fan of Rick Riordan's and I got his latest book in english. I started to read it and it's so entertaining that I've lost my ability to can. It's actually about greek mythology, but tolf from the perspective of Percy Jackson. Ah, my favourite demigod of all time.

'til the next time, buddies. Have a Ron Weasley clapping at my magnificenty.

Fourth (Nine and three quarters)

So, at least I remember something this time. Or.. Well..
So much stress around. And I don't just mean this "OOPS FORGOT TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM WEEK" -stress. I mean REAL HARDCORE STUFF. The matriculation exams are so freaking close and we already had an official listening comprehension. That was pretty freaking scary.. And I was so nervous after that, oh-my-gods. It didn't even go so well and dayum it was hard. Even though I understood every single thing they said on the tape I couldn't answer correctly. But in general, compared to other students, I can say it.. well, it went okay. Not well but I wasn't that terrible either, now that I think about it. Pheef.

Last week we were talking about circus and stuff. We played this game in which we had to answer circus-themed questions, and if we didn't succeed to answer correctly, we had to do a specific task. We had to, for example, mimic some situations, do pantomiming, tell something, act out scenes, answer questions, hold short speeches.. Boy was that fun. I laughed my head off during that game and so did the others - and I guess Merjo could notice that. We had so much fun, gwarsh. Partly because we were mostly just goofying around, not actually doing anything Sirius. But it doesn't matter. It. Was. Riddiculus.

Shame on you if you didn't get those references.


We also did these magic tricks with decks of cards for random pairs. (I have to admit I'm not a big fan of this "random pairing" because even though I'm social and my social skills level is pretty high, I have much more fun times with my friends than random people and with my pals it's much more entertaining to do stuff. I think, on the other hand, it is useful to do things with randoms for a change.) It was hard to understand how to do the tricks - I had to read the instructions several times and try it once by myself before I understood it! It's not that I didn't understand the english, again, I understand english pretty well. It's just that.. Well, damn, try to do a completely random card trick with new instructions that you haven't tried to do before! IT IS HARD, ALL I CAN SAY! In the end I managed to do the trick and Julius, with whom I did the card stuff, even got how it was done. Man, I'm proud of myself B)

It seems I'm pretty much in a mood for Harry Potter. I really should study for matriculation exams, but to be honest, I couldn't care less at the moment. I've been too stressed for the past way-too-many days, and I need to rest. So perhaps I'll watch a Harry Potter movie instead.

G'night mates. See y'all if I survive these bigass examinations. Have a Dumbledore.

THE FINAL POST

I made a video post. Applause. *applausing*
eat the description.
No. Don't eat it. Read it.
I'd suggest you to watch the video from this link because the description is there (and because it simply looks better).



So. Yeah. I hope this video contains at least half of the things I've meant to say, but honestly, I remember hardly anything from the past few weeks. There has been so much to do and my head is going to explode if I start to think all the thoughts and things I've been having on my mind. But yeah, thank you for the course. It was very helpful and useful, and we definitely need more 'a these. And just because of reasons, here, have a Miguel. 'Cause both, both is good.


it's a reference.

  1. Lost everything here as you know... Well, way to go Milla! You are a prolific and proficient writer so I'm really looking forward to reading your humorous posts :) Try to cover what we have done here in more detail though, that is analysing and reflecting upon what has been useful, interesting, boring etc for you...
