Arduinos and boxing...

So this week has mostly been about university. For the whole week we had a course with this thing called Arduino. At first I thought that it would be somewhat boring, because I'm not much into such kinds of electronics. But after the first day I thought that was very cool :) Although the programming part was not so easy, but I managed it xD For the last day we were supposed to make a toy in our groups. My group made some kind of "Rock Band" with the Mario theme song. I don't have pictures of it yet, but I will pose up here within the next week :)

At Thursday my group decided to hold a pancake-party :D So after classes were done we went to one of the group-member's place and made pancakes. It was very interesting because 3 of our group-members are foreigners, so it would not be a lie that they had different point of views when it came to make pancakes ;) But everything went better than expected and I even got to try out pancakes with banana and pancakes with apple. But there were not enough pancakes for us to get full, so after we finished we ordered pizza xD It was a very lovely evening and we had a good time. Even one of the group-members gave a little concert with his electric guitar. I went home around 9:30 pm because I had catch a cold and I needed my sleep, also for not to get grumpy xD


I have told you last time that I would start at gym and I went over there at Friday. It's only 100 meters from were I live, so that is just super :D After uni was done I went home and packed a bag and went over to the gym. I have to say first that the only gym I have been used to was with 2 treadmills, 2 bikes and some weight-things. So when I went in there I got little bit of a chock D: It was so big and there were so much of everything! And there were a lot of people which made me a little socially scared xD But I managed to get my gym-cart and decided that I would do some running on a treadmill. But the chock was not over D: The treadmill were so "high-tech" that I had to get help to even make it start. I have been used to treadmills where you can control the speed and hight and that's it. But here you could even see TV! I could not do any of the weights either, because they were also much different. So for next month I'm going to get a program made for me, so I can start on the weights also :)
Today I also went to boxing workout. I didn't boxed for real. It's a workout that is inspired by the training real boxers do :) But I also got to throw some punched on a sack, you know, letting out the steam >:D It was very hart and I had forgot to bring water which were a BIG mistake. I then had to spend almost the whole afternoon in my bed with a migraine :C 


But I'm almost fresh again :) The next week will also be a little pack for me, like we have to deliver our project-idea at the university and we have no idea xD Well we have ideas, but too many and a lot of different opinions.
But that is all for now. I will get back to my homework for tomorrow.

2nd semester and a belly...

So, last exam has finally past and yes I did pass with a beautiful 7 and I think that would be like an American B+, just if some of you don't know how much it means :)
I must admit that I'm a little bit surprised about the grade because I didn't prepared myself properly. So if I had done that I may had have a 10(A-) or maybe even 12(A+). Next time I know I have to prepare myself better >:D

After the exams I had some days of before the 2nd semester start and I used them to relax. Two of the days I watched Teen Titans, you know, that 'old' cartoon show. I saw all 5 season and the movie :D I used to watch it as kid and I got to see some of the episode I had missed from that time. And I must admit that Raven is my favourite.
Yeah, I may be a little geeky, but I like to watch 'old' cartoons from my childhood. I think these days that new cartoons ain't that good. Low, fast productions with really no plot or anything. I got really angry when they changed Lilo, from the series 'Lilo and Stich', look it up!!

I have also started (like 6 months ago) to grow my hair long. I used to have above shoulder-length, but now I have let it grow for the last half year. I haven't been to a hairdresser, but my hair is still in fine condition. It grow relative fast, so it's now past my shoulders. It have even begun to wave a little bit witch is unusual because my hair is normally damn straight.

Last Wednesday I was at my university for the 2nd semester start. We were supposed to pick new project-groups and I ended up with the same one I had last semester which I'm really happy with :) Then after that I went home to my mother's house and stayed there until Sunday. And I got to know that London trip 2012 is now 100% sure :D So at July I'm going to London which then is my 4th time :3

I'm also starting at the gym again. There has opened a gym centre only 100 meters from where I live and I can get study-discount so that is just perfect :D I can't wait to start so I can train my body up again and loose those extra kilos that have been on me too long. I also hope to train my back up again fast, because the last couple of months I haven't been able to feel asleep before like 2 am because of my back. My back hurts because it's out of training, if you can say that -_______-

I think that is all for now. The next week is going to be with classes from 9 am to 3-4 pm every day. It's going to be though, but properly funny to learn something new :D
