Oak in the mist

Timeless

Taken at a pier on Ruissalo island. The thick fog made the pier look like it's high in the nothingness, while it's just above water. While the photo was taken, a ship was passing by the pier, but it wasn't even a bit visible. One could hear only the engines and the waves.
A very eerie feeling.

"Near-summer" weather and entry exam

It's been a quiet week, filled with preparing for a university exam and convincing myself how there is no chance in the universe that gives me entry in the university. 

Luckily enough, the exam was extremely easy, the interviews went more than well, and now I'm awaiting results any day now. 

The weather forecast predicted "near-summer" weather for the beginning of May, only the joke was on everyone who believed in it. 

After few sunny and warm days, temperatures are down to near-freezing, with rains and wet snowfall here and there.

Monday business and rain

Monday is on, bringing rain and fogs. 

Apart from the Finnish language course, I'm preparing for a university entry exam, I applied for International Business Bachelor program . Fingers crossed I won't get screwed by math this time [even though the chance of failing is much higher than getting in].

There's also an environmental project on the horizon, and if there's a green light for financing, I'm in. Let's hope on that.

Here's a shot to match the weather, and in a way the Monday mood:

DICE central in Stockholm

The big glass building is the home of gaming industry milestones such as Minecraft and the Battlefield series. The DICE central in Stockholm is quite a magnificent spot in the downtown area.
