September 23, 20169 yr Author Hello!Today was an exciting day! The matriculation exams went alright. The results will probably be of my average level.

September 24, 20169 yr Author Hello!Today was a day with ups and downs. The morning started out well with morning routine and going to the gym. I went to play Settlers of Catan with my friends and it was awesome. The best moment of today was hanging out with my friends.I'm feeling a bit frustrated at the moment. I'm pretty sure I can overcome it by setting reasonable and clear goals and achieving them. These goals can be like study, go to gym etc.. Sticking with your decisions helps you see the results and that way feel more in control of your life. I'm also pretty tired after all the studying. There is still the next week to go.Today I'm grateful for:My friend inviting me to her housewarming partyOrganizing a meetGood apple pie with oat-vanilla toppingFresh sheetsExperiences and being able to deal with old problems more efficiently
September 25, 20169 yr Author Hello!Today was a rather study oriented day. I woke up and studied Finnish history. Then I proceeded to write essays about history with my friend and at the end of the day I met my friends and we studied and talked about history together. I've got my history finals on Friday so there is a lot of studying waiting to be done still. Scheduling it helps. The best moment of today was drinking tea with my friend.Non-study-related I managed to create the first version of my Personal Mission Statement. It's something that reflects my basic values and goals as an individual. Stephen Covey talks about it in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I can highly recommend that book. It's a good step and as time will go on it will shape up to better reflect my personal mission.I've been thinking about over-thinking which I sometimes indulge in. I listed some common ways I feel when I'm overly tangled in my thoughts.Today I'm grateful for:Friends to study history withMocca bites made by my cousinMacaroni casseroleNice police officersThe stability of values

September 26, 20169 yr Author Hello!I might follow @WorkInProgress and take a little break from my usual posting schedule.

October 2, 20169 yr One thing I love about chess is that it's very difficult to know how good someone is/isn't until you play.
October 2, 20169 yr Author Hello!Today was a nice day! I hung out with my friends and checked out a new construction in our city. In the evening I ate with my family wrote and read. The best moment of today was having a conversation about happiness. I think it started with my friend telling me a story about a documentary in which a man tries to become as happy as possible by attending seminars and such and in the end ends up depressed. In the end my friend said "The one who can forget about happiness is the happiest." It's a rather counterintuitive approach, but also has it's point.Now, when your exams are over, what will you do with all that free time?That is a good question! I'm planning on strengthening my habit of going to the gym 3 times a week, focusing on studying maths and physics consistently, reading and also spending time with friends and assets. I respect your interest! One thing I love about chess is that it's very difficult to know how good someone is/isn't until you play. Yup! Chess is very much about repetition and practice, not just raw intelligence.Today I'm grateful for:MetalSmoked salmon and brussels sproutsCovey has made very sharp notices in the 7 habitsFinding a cool new shirt, Maybe Ill go and buy it tomorrowWarm juiceTrustGood conversations
