A lot of stuff

Whoa. A huge amount of stuff going on.

1. Asthma etc. testing. After being on hold on the phone service of the local health station and weeks of waiting for my appointment, the doctor called yesterday and cancelled my original time for tomorrow. BAH. Evil doctor. She then offered a time today, at a time where it would completely mess up my schedule. I was in for a "hard" decision between skipping school and going to asthma testing, which I really want to get done as soon as possible. Needless to say, I took the appointment today, and was absent from school. I might go to my chemistry class if I get my lab report written. The queue at the lab was huge, because they had a lot of workers off today. No clue why. So it actually took me hours to wait for a few blood tests and an x-ray picture of my lungs. This time the x-ray doctor was female, thank god.
2. Exam week coming up. Boo. But now that I think about it, it's not really that bad. Ok, it starts with Bio next Monday and Chemistry on Tuesday, then the rest of the week off, and finally Math on the next Monday. I have a TOK presentation on the Tuesday (should be a piece of cake). That's it. Or well, we get our physics exams tomorrow, and have to return them before the end of the exam week. Ha! The easiest 100% grade ever. A great thing, considering my predicted grade for physics.
3. Physics lab hour day - we went to Linnanmäki last Saturday. It was fun, in general. Highlights of the day:
• The new roller coaster broke down temporarily after we had been in the queue for about an hour - and when we finally were the first on the queue. Boo
• people staring us and our Vernier probes. What, never seen people with high-tech physics equipment in a theme park before? No, me neither. Some tourists actually took pictures.
  
• The guys screaming all sorts of stuff on the rides. My personal favorite, by M, "Ohmygod this f*cking thing castrated me!". That was funny. And so was a lot of other stuff. And yes, a lot of people stared at us. But hey, who cares? Besides, considering how well an average Finnish person speaks or understands English, they probably had no clue what we were saying.
• These little pervy guys poking my (and my firend's) ass. Hello? Was this close I didn't kill you or arrange you into condition which would have required the Intensive care unit. Besides, they were like 15. That's kids. Scary.
• When the new ride was finally operating again, it was totally great. One of my favorites, without a question.
• We noticed a really important thing with my friend: the area has loads of restaurants and cafes and such, but you couldn't get really healthy food from anywhere. Ok, the one place had overprized and rather nasty-looking salads. But the ingredients seemed to be weeks old. I ended up eating a tiny sandwich (3.50e) which had two small pieces of rye bread and tiny amounts of salad and tomato (raw). What great nourishment. Then again, at least I didn't have to eat pizza or french fries or something else like that with 10 gazillion calories. Good stuff. Yay for tiny sanwiches!
• The free game included in the all-day ticket. Ha. Starting from this year, the all-da ticket contains a free game (choice of five different games). Anyhow, we decided to go for this game called Rollen ajot (yes, I know the name is dumb, but I didn't pick it). The others had weird stuffed animals as prizes. Hello, what would I do with a hyper-sized dust bunny? So, we went for the game with candy as prizes. The point of the game was to roll small tennis balls to small holes. The more accurate you were, the faster your "car" moved. I beat 6 others and won 600 grams of candy. My friend went to the next round but won "only" 300g because there were less people competing. I know a little brother who will obey my every single word for the next few days...
  
• We saw a few guys we knew - who had also played the same game. There had been 3 of them, and they had decided to play on the same round and share the prize. They lost (to 6-years old brats, as one of them said). Ha!
