Actually, all these news are old news and nothing much is new. I finally became a PhD., although my dissertation was already 1.9. I still had one 5 credit’s exam left, which I successfully passed last Friday. And last week I even got my diploma, so now it is really official. BTW: the dissertation – it seems to me unbelievable how many people have time to read newspapers carefully through. There was a very short notice in Turun Sanomat about my dissertation (size 3 x 3cm), but a lot of people had congratulated me based on this notice. Surprise, but it feels good of course.
Another old news is that I’m still pregnant. Yes, “still” is the right word. But the never-ending-pregnancy story should have its end in exactly 5 weeks. This means, that I started my maternity leave yesterday. It was about the time, my stomach is growing to unbelievable (at least for me) size. I mean if it is going to continue to grow with the same speed, then I will explode before giving birth. No really, you cannot stretch any material forever! The other option is that for some reason the doctors and nurses are hiding before me that I’m expecting twins.
With 8 kilos “overweight” I became little bit more tolerant. For example, I don’t consider any more the nordic walking to be a total waste of time, which does not improve anybody’s fitness. Together with swimming these are the only “trainings” I’m able to do at the moment. And surprise, surprise, they are not as easy as they used to be. Nevertheless, I’ve never been very keen on either of these activities and that attitude has not changed. I miss so much the endorphins from fast running!

Rainy, fast and nice, but unfortunately with a typical SWE map. And of course usual back-home-trip…
