Spent the last week at my cousin's. Two years old and has enormous amount of energy. And she talks all the time; apparently she also has an imaginary friend. I have to admit, I was prepared for almost everything but that. It never even crossed my mind to add to my knowledge something about imaginary friends since I've never had those. Apparently this is something I shoudl have read together with growing statistics, development stages and figuring out answers to likely 'why' questions. The colour and essence of Kantafelowhatever was not included on my list.

The summer has finally come to an end. It actually ended a bit faster than I expected; the actual member of the faculty board has taken off and I am to replace him. Shitty thing, really. I didn't remember that my spare-memberhood continues for another year until it pop in my head some time at the end of July. Last Friday I got a message saying the board meeting has been changed: my first meeting is tomorrow morning to which I now have had time to prepare for two days. Hopefully there will be other student members, too, otherwise I'm a bit lost on protocol and such. Well, at least I've read the papers sent to me and made nice post-it additions to them. And, of course, the infamous 'johtosääntö' (see some previous entry not long ago) is up for discussion. Of which students seem to either no nothing about or care nothing about; the result's the same since the thing has been up for the so-called commentary on the university forum for about two weeks and has no replies. None. I suppose others have noticed the same thing: they've already decided this is what it will be and all comments are ignored. Nice job, people, that's the way to open up administration...

37, of which two are picture books though I didn't know that at the time I went to get them from the library. Only seven of these were from the list I made in May (or April maybe). Apparently lists are more like guidelines, really.
I also managed to update my reading blog up to date. Didn't think I would but hey, I did. In the process I changed its name and appearance (though I guess I'll be changing the latter from time to time, I like the green one at the moment).

Okay, now back to House's first season.
