Back me up
This week has been bit hectic... I took a riding lesson with two of my friends at Tuesday as we needed to practise show jumping for today's riding competition, Gaudeamus Grand Prix (Yearly competition for Academic Riding Clubs). So we had a great lesson and I had a blast, everything went really well and I was looking forward to the competitions. But as I went to stables Wednesday, I managed to hurt my back so bad I hardly could get home before I needed to lay down completely. I didn't even ride or anything... Luckily we got another girl to replace me in Tera's team (me, Aura and Anna R) as we needed a 3-6 riders to be able to participate.
I also found out that Tino, the horse I groom at local riding school, has ASTHMA (I mean can horses have asthma??), he's been coughing pretty bad lately and has been now off working as lesson horse. I really hope he'll get better with the meds he's getting.
Well, my back was so bad I had to go to doctor at Thursday and my mom took me there, about 20 mins sitting in the car cursing in my mind as it hurt so much. Anyways I got pain killers and strict order to rest at leas a couple days and no riding for a week or so! ARGH!!! Never mind I had agreed to go riding every day friday-sunday and had to cancel everything 
Well, maybe next year I get to go to the competitions, I had to cancel it last year as well, but third time lucky, I hope.
The good news of the week is that I passed the Data Structures and Algorithms tests!! Yeppee!!
I also got a new model horse. It had travelled from US to Denmark and now here finally, after half year's wait. It was supposed to be my Christmas present to myself but now I guess it's summer-vacation-has-started-gift.. lol 
As it's Saturday, I'm able to walk and sit a bit. Slight progress but still... Now I'm only waiting for it to get better so I can go riding Bee again.

New day new GUESTBOOK!!
Today I got my guestbook up and running. That is my first MySQL database and I'm thrilled to get it to work! 
I've been reading for my Electronics test but aren't nearly done with it yet... I'm so glad it's summer soon and I have only two more tests to go, so then I can start to work with this site and put something here that someone might actually be interested to read...
I made this Geek test and yup, I'm a Geek. According to the test, that is... Well, I do tend to stay online/on comp 24/7 or at least 16/7 as my comp isn't open while I sleep... At least not always 
Okay, now I must go and get some shut eye before I start to read at morning and have the Electronics test tomorrow!

Finally!!
Now I finally got my blog to work. It took only three tries with different FTPs to get the CHMODs right and a few instructions from my friend to get it to function.
Anyhow, it's my test week at University and I should be reading for Physics IV test that is tomorrow... But as I already had two tests yesterday (Data Structures & Algorithms and Applied Propability), I can't find my motivation... Anyone saw it? 
Hey, it's May 8th and 8 days from May 1st, also called WAPPU and the biggest party day of the year, at least for students. So we went with friends to Wappu party at Dipoli (diner/party place at HUT campus) and had a blast! Before that we hung around Helsinki and watched people celebrate at streets and we even bought balloons. This year mine was a Pooh & Piglet hugging, but alas, it turned out quite violent, attacking both my friends to their faces and even number of innocent bystanders... And it wasn't the wind, I swear! My friend's Eeyore balloon was not doing anything similar. Well, too bad Wappu is over, could celebrate some more instead studying... Only three tests to go...
