First period & Intensive week

First period is now behind and on Monday starts the intensive week. The intensive week is meant for study trips, extra courses and project work. We are not this time taking any study trip to abroad and I'm just glad about it: we wouldn't have had the time to plan it nor I the money to do it...

Some of us TOBBA13 students took part in the Service Design Global Conference in Stockholm between 7.-8. of October. We got this amazing opportunity because HAAGA-HELIA was involved in planning the conference. We have this 3rd level "Designing Services" course running on our campus and since there was not enough students to fill all the places, we got the chance to apply to the conference, too. Below is a picture of me and my friends posing in front of the fair center München Bryggeriet. Behind us you can the SDN (Service Design Network) logo.




For some weeks I felt a bit lost with our semester project. We had to change the Project Manager and everything seemed to be somewhat blur. Then came the Stockholm trip, I got a flu and BOOM! Suddenly we were in a terrible hurry! Now I am even more grateful that we don't have a semester trip because at least I have to work the whole intensive week for the project. I also have a couple of assignments to finish during next week. I know I have go to my home town for a couple of days (otherwise mum and grandma will be very angry) but that's not going to happen before Friday since I am having a meeting with our teacher on Friday morning.

I feel like we have too many courses running at the same time. Every course has its own assignments, exams, presentations, group work and materials to read. Many courses running at the same time means fewer hours per subject in our week schedule. Languages are the only subjects which have more than 1 meeting per week. I wish we could have more time for the assignments during the lessons, especially with languages, so that we wouldn't have so many exercises to do at home. Usually I am home around 5 or 6 p.m. meaning I have about 4-5 h time to make food, eat, do some physical exercise, get a shower and do my homework. Usually the time is not enough and I am ready to go to bed at 10 p.m. with unfinished home work. Eating, exercising and sleeping are to me, and should be for everyone, more important than any of the home work!

Guess I'm just trying to say that I am really tired.
