And so it starts again.....

Wuhuuu! Got the first call from Northwestern people today.
And so it starts again....
At least I've got a damn good excuse for them to say- I will be probably going to Britain soon, I can't come and sell books in USA.

Oh the weather outside is frightful....

I can finally say that I am happy to see the snow outside. I wasn't happy a while ago, but now it's time for that. I woke up in the morning, moved the curtains off the window and saw snow. Now I'm gonna eat some mandarines, light a candle. Then, after this lovely breakfast, I will skip one of my lectures, will go to donate blood, and will go to city to find myself jeans. And if the promised snow storm comes, I'm gonna enjoy it. I guess I love storms... (I loved the thunderstorm we had in the summer, too)
Anyway, maybe some christmas songs?
I've got the feeling for that, too.

Dave Grohl vs Simon Neil

2

Okay, I just have to write this dream that I had today night into here. This is freaking weird.
Anyway, I was in the university and in a lecture named "The psychology of creativity". By the end of the lecture I was supposed to go to Foo Fighter's concert that took place in Tallinn. My lecturer, Tiia Laak, wished me a nice concert.
Okay, so then I stood in the line to get into the concert. When I got into the concert hall, I saw seats. Like the ones that are in the culture house of Rõuge. The house looked also like a culture house in Rõuge. Okay, anyway there wasn't a lot of pushing and there wasn't a warming band either. So as the audience gathered I was seated to the second row (again). But not into the middle. Still, there was no pushing..... The concert began. I enjoyed it, and loved it, although it seemed the band had only two members, no drummer and Dave Grohl looked a lot like Simon Neil from "Folding stars" video and the bass guitarist looked like James Johnston. Ooookay.... All of a sudden I noticed that most of the audience had gone, no clapping, no cheering. Nothing. I started to become embarrased of Estonians. Again. So when there were only about 20 people left the band finished playing, telling us, that there is no point. Obviously. So they were standing on the stage with a bit sad looks. They told that the clock was obviously too early for a concert like this (the concert started at 8 pm) but that they couldn't do it later, because they wanted to sleep too, as they had to leave the country at 4am the next morning. So during that talking most of the 20 people who had stayed until the "end" of the concert, left. I still stayed. So the band came off the stage and all of a sudden there was just a table in front of me. There was one more person from the audiencel left. So I started cheering up the band. I asked for their autographs- I had a sheet for that and it had a list of bands written on it. So "Dave" and "the bassist" gave me their autographs. So we chatted a while. I told them I would go to their some other concert and asked if I could get the tickets for their show at Milton Keynes as it is sold out (yeah, my dream concert is actually in reality also sold out) and that it would be my dream to see Simon and Dave perform together. I also asked whether they could do a duet or something like that during the concert. I got the a smily answer that actually said nothing to me but about the ticket I was supposed to ask my lecturer Tiia Laak, because she was the aunt of the bassist (in my dream) .... What the hell???? Anyway, then the guys discovered that they had only their pijamas on so they went to put on normal clothes. I asked whether I should leave but they told that it's not necessary. So they put on normal clothes in front of me. I still tried to cheer them up about the concert and find some excuses for the stupid Estonians but the band told it was okay. Then it was about the time when I had to catch my bus back home (yeah, I had chatted with the guys for quite long already). So I took my hair of from French braid and took a picture with the guys and hugged them really long and then went. When I was on my way to the bus station I heard a quoting of a newspaper by someone and he read about the fiasco that had happened during the concert and I was really sad but looking forward to see my lecturer to get the tickets to Milton Keynes.....

It seems that I am regaining my ability to see extremely weird dreams. That are actually somehow connected to reality....

"Awakenings"

6

I have a new movie recommendation again.
I recently downloaded a lot of movies from psychology and psychatry field. So I watched now one of them that I'd planned to watch for a very long time. The name of the movie is "Awakenings". At first the name Robin Williams didn't attract me very much to watch the movie as Williams doesn't seem to be the kind of actor for psychiatry movie. Or a movie from so serious field. So with a little doubt in my soul I started to watch the movie.
My first impression, when the movie hadn't even started, only the introductive subtitles were shown, was a big surprise. I read from the introduction that the movie was based on the book with the same name by Oliver Sacks. How on earth didn't I make the connection between the name of the movie and the book before seeing the movie? So obvious. Anyway, with the knowledge that the movie is based on a book from this author and that the movie is actually based on a true life story I continued watching the movie. My impression when the movie had ended was as good as it was in the beginning. Maybe even better. I was not disappointed in the movie at all... And the actors played their role quite well.
Anyway, the movie is about people who have had some kind of meningitis in their childhood and it has had the effect on their life some time later. In the beginning of the movie these people are diagnosed with unknown schizophrenia or unknown dementia etc. in the movie the patients were frozen in one pose and didn't seem to react to almost anything. They were living in a hospital. A new doctor (Robin Williams) comes to work in the institution and finds out that the patients react to certain stimuli. So he makes a research and finds out that their actual diagnosis is some kind of meningitis (I can't remember right now, what was the proper name of the diagnosis so I will not type it here). And he starts to find a cure to this disease....
Anyway, my plan now is to read the book, too. I've had this book at home, but it was 3in1 book, where were other publications from Sacks also included (I read "The man who mistook his wife for a hat"). I planned to read all the books but as I was lacking of time to do that, I took the book back to the library. Mistake. Total.
So as previously, I still recommend everybody to read books from Oliver Sacks and to watch this movie, too. Thoughtful and realistic stories from what you can learn a lot.
And I can say that Oliver Sacks is probably one of my favourite writers (and neuropsychologist too, as this is his real occupation).

Sometimes I wished....

1

...that I'd have my black hair back. That I'd still be 17. That I'd still go to Nõo high school and lived in the hostal with all my friends so close. Sometimes I wished back even my basic school, but not as much as my high school. Sometimes I wished it was the summer of 2008, a damn but a very lovely summer. All the time I wish that I could see Vero again, could see my old roommates more often, my friends more often.
Friends are the people who will never disappear. Even if the distance is long between them.
Sometimes it seems that I'm not trying hard enough to keep in touch with my friends. And it will be harder in the future.
But so far I'm handling it. Still.
We'll see what the future will bring but all that I can say is that the past and the present is something damn good to be remembered. The puzzle is so far perfect. Nothing to regret, only to remember.

And these are my friends that make everything perfect.

So... This post is devoted to all the people who have affected me in all the ways and have turned me into what I am now.
To the past, present and future!

I love you, my friends!

The fact that I'll go to Italy soon, seems like a curse. The closer the date comes the more I will find out what tests will be during my trip. Fuck! Really.
I've got a test in German during my trip, I found out today that I'll probably have a test in Psychometry, too. Then I've got loads of essays to do, I've got two seminars that I should attend, too. Holy crap. I shouldn't swear but this is worth it.
