Playlist vol 5

As I am posting this while attending a seminar on how to do tables in Excel -.- Don't you think it's a little late for that? Anyway can't really comment on the songs but found most of them I found and fell in love while attempting to study at the Uni's computer rooms :D Very productive I am yes! ;)

Eesti! :)

Thank you for listening :)

IT challenged

I'm not actually (stop laughing!) but lately sure does feel like it. Although most of it is probably my laptops fault which is old and probably dying slowly, but I solemnly promise to love it (occasionally cuss at it) until the day it stops working altogether. We've been together through thick and thin. 3 years now. My longest relationship to date. It was there for me every time I had to write essays and do presentations, I rewarded it by giving him a taste of Estonia's most famous liquor Vana-Tallinn. Yes, I did, it's all about sharing ;) but it got so drunk and such a serious hangover that It had to be hospitalized for a month (yes, it could've been repaired quicker but it cost too much money that I just wasn't willing to spend). So no more alcohol for you mister!

Another sign that doomsday is near for it is it's reluctance to connect to wi-fi and oh no don't you dare blame the poor router for not providing us with internet! It's not his fault most of the time. It's my dear oldie that is too cool for wi-fi because when I connect it to the router by an ethernet cable the internet works just fine. He just wants to connect with something ok? Don't judge! Which is totally fine when I'm sitting in the living room, but when I want to be in my room (in my bed :D) then it's a bit annoying to have a freaking on-off wi-fi.

Today it gave me the ultimate scare. The bastard refused to boot up. Da fudge??? Today, Thursday!!!! When I actually made plans to study!! Half an hour I pressed the on/off button to get it to work, the lights on the keyboard went on and it made a faint noise that the ventilators or whatever they are inside are working, so a couple of signs that it is in fact still alive, probably in a coma... great, and I haven't backed up or made any copies of my pictures in a freaking year! I can't lose my precious pictures! Yes, I've already come to terms that my laptop's time is near and it is inevitable that the last goodbye is near so I didn't freak out at all. my emotions are probably as fucked up as my laptop to be honest.

My breakfast was ready - the first proper breakfast I've had in months - when my dearest fought for it's life so hard that it actually started working. Making a lot of noise - like a proper vacuum cleaner should ;) - and told me everything is fudged up dude!!! I silently pressed the ok button or something like that to every warning it gave me and voila it actually works again!!! Yay!!!! Although I must say, it is in fact retarded now :( I mean no offense still love though :) Anyway the right third of the screen is completely black, like it doesn't exist anymore... :D I can live with that!

You and me 'til the end fo sho! :)
Love you!

Sidenote: I'm currently at the uni's computer room which is almost full and the computer I chose out of the two that were free, said obnoxiously to me that it can't log me on. F.U I honestly wanted to punch the screen in! You can't do this to me!!!!! But luckily the other one had a little heart inside it and here I am writing this blog and feeling such an emotional connection to a laptop :)

Management module rage

You people!

So another post about my management module which is just like... I don't even know... why just why is all I have to say at the moment. Last Monday in the second part (no second attendance sheet thankfully) he made us split into 5 groups and come up with a survey about any topic we wanted. Since there are at least a hundred of us in that lecture the groups were enormous, 20 people -.- He justified it by saying he wants to see the group dynamic because when us people someday have jobs were gonna have to work in big groups and do research and blah blah blah, well duh, obviously someone has to be the leader and organise everything, obviously it wasn't me also :D I was just dying there, because it's not that hard to come up with a survey jeesh. So sat there for half an hour, agreed to everything that was said and contributed one question. The least I could do. I do not feel ashamed since when I have a job that requires doing some kind of research everyone basically knows their job positions or something, someone is pointed to be in charge or am I being to naive? Don't really care either way at the moment. At the end of the class each group had to present their survey -.- Luckily our group was so organised that we had three volunteer presenters (not me) and the whole group didn't have to go in front of the class to stand there awkwardly and refuse to say anything creating more awkwardness. People were literally shaking their head and making surprised noises when the sheet of presumably their group survey got into their hands and they were expected to say something. How hard it is to read one question from the page and then pass it on to the next person. Mission Impossible for some. Though seeing the reactions was funnny :D in an evil way of course.

Today he wanted us people to do a focus group discussion -.- omfg here we go again... I was impatiently waiting for the break to make my escape, I had my stuff packed and coat on already for 10 minutes or so, when one group announced that they were going to discuss their topic outside of the lecture hall and voilà, I'm in that group! So ran out after them and when they all started to sit down and discuss whatever they had to I was like Freak this, I'm out beees and darted for the door. Later I heard other people wanted to do the same but they were a bit late and the lecturer actually followed them out and made them take part in the discussion LOL, amateurs :D

Our lecturers favourite parasite phrase is you people. You people have to do this, when you people get a job, what do you people think, you people are going to need this, I need to know the topics from you people etc etc etc. I find it kind of offensive. I don't even know why but I cringe every time he says that and boy can he say that a lot in a lecture.

When the timetable for semester came out, freaking late if I may say so, like a couple of days before the lectures actually began. I had my seminar listed to 5pm on Mondays, then for some reason I checked my timetable again this Friday and guess what. They've changed that to noon on Mondays, when I have my French oral class and I actually like that group!!! Everything was starting to go well for you Jazzz? Yeah well not anymore! Haha. I can actually imagine someone laughing uncontrollably. -.- So wrote a frantic letter to my French teacher and asked to join another group this week, to attend the seminar. Big mistake...

Arrived on time to find the big computer room were our seminar was meant to be held almost full with strange faces doing strange uni stuff and most of them the same thing. Is there another lecture here or what? The familiar faces from my lecture were just standing there same as me with confusion like what the hell is going on. This is the right time and room for our seminar right?? No??? Found a couple of computers, might as well log in. So ten minutes passed... Shouldn't the lecturer be here? Someone just farted, I think I'm going to puke. Honestly that's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!! My eyes filled up with water! Legit, I'm not making this up! Well this is awkward and disgusting (at the same time funny because the person next to me was a petite girl  and we didn't know where the smell came from :D) and I could be in  French right now... Eventually the lecturer strolls in. Turns out he forgot to book the room so there were random students as well. Great management skills for a management lecturer... ( just a mean side note, no offence). The rest of the seminar we created an account in surveymonkey and started doing a survey. Anything you wanted... I am perfectly capable of learning how to use internet pages at home by myself and asking help if neede thank you very much. Signed the attendance sheet and walked out (the seminar was over by that time anyway, at least according to the time). What a waste of time...

Needless to say I'm not looking forward to the 2 2,500 word essays in that module...

What's that smell?

Today was my day off, from everything, got woken up by a text by my boss because yesterday my till had been down ( needless to say I freaked out big time :D ) so at 9AM watched a couple of episodes of 2 broke girls and when it was time to get up properly and do something productive at 11AM I instead felt really tired and stayed in bed... lol then at some point I started to smell something burning. At first I thought that it was my radiator which becomes really hot and that I've left it on for the entire night ( I usually turn it off when I'm not in my room, just in case) and that something was in contact with it and now either melting or burning. In fact a couple of days ago I had a dream that something a DVD case was melting because of it and actually in fear of that happening woke up from my dream. 

Anyway back to today: I soon realised that I indeed had switched the radiator off and stayed in bed for longer thinking nothing of the burning smell, probs coming from outside or something. Then the smell got a bit stronger and I decided I've been in bed far too long. And when I opened my room door guess what! The corridor was filled with blue smoke. I was like crap... but not really bothered for some reason, went to the kitchen and the oven was working.

Quickly turned it off, opened all the windows. People on the street must've thought that crazy people live in this flat because who in their right mind would open three windows in February? And closed the fire door that separates the corridor from the living room / kitchen as the fire alarm in the corridor reacts to smoke and the one in the kitchen to heat. Thankfully there wasn't that much smoke to set the fire alarm off, that would've been awkward as I was in my PJ's (it was about 3PM :D ). Finally went to see what my flatmate was trying to cook then when she unexpectedly had to leave :D Looked like lumps of coal, previously known as potatoes. Good times :) Can they actually catch fire? Well I hope I never find out ;)

Later my flatmate came to apologise and to thank me for saving the day, god knows what would've happened if I would actually be a busy-busy person who has loads of important stuff to do and has to leave home early in the morning to return late at night ;)

Anyway as I came home now, quarter to eleven pm, I could still smell burning in the general hallway from our flat. ooops :D Not my fault though haha, so opened the window again - gonna be cold for a change in our flat ;)

(I'm embarrased to say this but I actually forgot for a second how I usually write my name here! The smoke has gotten into my brain and made all fussy!)

That awkward moment...

when there are more people saying hi because I regularly serve them at work than those who I study with, one is clearly working too much.

And why are the lectures sooo boring??? Anyone?

As I'm not listening anyway, I might as well tell you about my new flatmate, a guy from Denmark, politics student too, although doing his masters already. His girlfiend, who is French, is pretty much living here too, as she has more stuff in the bathroom than the guy. Anyway, so far so good, haven't been home a lot, so can't really tell much, but they made my day on Sunday, offered me a free lunch, as they made too much pasta and I don't mean like boiled too much, but they made pasta from scratch, so I had a decent lunch, and got cake today, bcs they were nice again and left me a note that I can help myself with that. And tomorrow they are baking bread...my point is that thee are a fancy couple when it comes to cooking :D

And of course have to mention work, had the biggest row ever today after refusing to sell alcohol to 2 ladies, real biatches. And obviously, my dear le bf is never there when needed, one till crashed before those 2, so he was at the office sorting this out and didn't bother to come to cancel the transaction, when I buzzed him after I got rid of them. And he is telling me that I should have buzzed for him to get rid of those 2, well, I buzzed for you after and you did not come, one guy had to wait like 5 minutes to buy a freakin' chewing gum, gave up eventually and left a pound for a it. So if I would have buzzed him earlier, would it have made a difference? Oh well, thanks ladies, at least you spiced up my 6 hours.
Had one couple too, the guy didn't have his ID, so he tried to convince, that he just casually walked in and blablabla, so he was really in the mood of starting an argument there, but the girl said that it wouldn't help, so he was like, they will go to another shop, but yet they were back like 10 minutes later with his ID and guess what, he wasn't even that old to be offended about me asking his ID.

Attendance

Feels like I'm in middle school again -.-

Anyway the School of Business and Management has decided that from September they do not record lectures any more (fine by me, never used them anyway :D) to increase attendance. And now there are sign up sheets in every single lecture circling in the lecture to make sure that you do attend the lectures (which I'm so sorry to say but indeed are amazingly boring...).

In last Monday's Management Research Project the same thing obviously, but the attendance sheet got stuck in the front row -.- c'mon people is this the first time you've seen something like that? Write your name down and pass it on, not that hard! So sitting in the 5th or so row me and Rebecka were a bit anxious to get our names down, I don't know why it's always the highlight of our lectures - yeah, writing my name there means that it was worth while to come to the lecture, otherwise it would be pointless duh... If no one checks why should I attend :D lol I'd attend anyway, because if I wouldn't even attend the few lectures I do have what's the point in being here + I'm scared to miss anything important, although they never say anything really really important in lectures... yeah I know weird. Ok I'd probably skip at least half of the lectures ;)

Due our lovely university's stupid incapability of putting up the correct timetable before lectures actually start Rebecka now had a clash: one hour the above-mentioned 2 hour management lecture and a Spanish class that she could register a time she liked and taken into account that prior to that registration we only had one hour of the management lecture she registered to a Spanish group right after that one. Convenient isn't it? You just got punk'd B! Surprise!!! the management lecture is a double lecture on Monday, not one hour on Monday and another on Wednesday as the timetable said. So she now has to skip half of the lectures anyway since all the other Spanish groups were already full (or just at a really stupid time :D :P). Since I'm such a good friend I have to write her name on the management attendance sheet. So last Monday when we realized that someone is being an weirdo and not passing on the attendance sheet so she could sign her own name to it I started practising writing in a different handwriting -.- not my best effort :D but hey, maybe they won't notice and if they do, so what?

The break came and Rebecka had to leave (so did half of the other pupils apparently :D ) and I noticed a small queue in front of the first row. Ahhhhaaaa! I see what you did there :D fighting to urge to go and also stand in the stupid queue I hoped that someone would circulate it once again and to my luck there was such a person who also had lazy friends. So the sheet circulated around me so the stupid friends and their friends could all write their names down and then it went a couple of rows behind me -.- a-holes like really? you could've handed it to me so I could also write my name down and then I would've given it back to you!!! god people annoy me so much!

Then the break is over and the lecturer comes looking for the attendance sheet as he wants us to sign another one for the second half -.- fooooook I haven't signed for the first one yet, but since there are many others who start complaining about it it's fine and he doesn't confiscate the first one. Luckily the other tourism students are sitting two rows behind me and pass the attendance sheet to me, so I wouldn't be absent from the first lecture. Obviously put down Rebecka's name as well, worst impression of a different person's handwriting ever but at that point I do not care any more, I'm so stressed!

Now waiting for the other half to reach me, I'm eyeing it's journey every once in a while to make sure it is indeed being passed around. So the paper finally got to me, wrote down both of our names - another epic fail of trying to do two different handwritings, this time had to do a signature too, omfg well yeah congrats Rebecka you just went full retarded when it comes to signing attendance sheets LOL :D Finally got to relax for a while until I noticed whoa whoa whoa there's a third sheet?????? Did I just wrote our names on the other side of the attendance sheet for the first half.... Noooooooooooo!!!!!! Please tell me that's not true!! Shoot me please. Why oh why didn't I check that the second one is indeed intended for the second half? Freaking have to write 3 times our names - that's too much! I'm 100% positive that some people actually did write their name three times -.- So stressing about the third sheet and my foook up I don't have any clue what the second half of the lecture was about. At all. No idea... Cool story bro! Great lectures indeed 9AM on a freaking Monday!!!

Anyway the lecture ended before the third sheet could reach me and immediately the lecturer ran up the stairs (not literally ;)) to collect them. Shoot, can I now write Rebecka's name down, if I have to do it in front of him??? What to do? What to do? Ran down, was the first one to get to the desk YAY, there was another guy right behind me. Asked which is the first half which the second and guess what? I'd written our names to the correct ones ouyeah baby!! I was like oh this the second one? Checked the name list to see if our names were on that, probably took too long 'cause he was saying the third time that this is the second half - yeah I got you the first time! Saw our names, was stupidly happy and said bye-bye and left the lecture hall to calm down before real work aka French starts.

Talk about stress!
