* I have Internet access back in my room now.
* In the spirit of working slower, we took an extra-long break and went to get $1 breakfasts.
* As a result, I wasn't hungry, so lunch was super-late.
* Got a (regular!) blister from stupid screwdriver.
* No, I still won't use the electric drill.
* Conversations kept going in directions and to subjects in which I have no interest or don't want to talk about - drinking, hockey - so I lost my usual energy and fell silent.
* My silence only turned more silent and more bitter when the more artsy of the two guys who started this week mentioned that he was going on tour to the US with his band in August.
* But you know why that makes me bitter.
* Things got really messy when people just started dumping boxes and boxes of stuff for us to build.
* Pieces getting misplaced and incomplete parts for silly drawers showing up.
* Aforementioned guy lives and works (his other job) near campus, so he's willing to pick me up and drive me home from work.
* This way, I can leave my place 30 minutes later in the morning.
* And can get home before I would have even gotten onto the bus!
* I told him that as much as I admire people in bands, they also make me super-bitter about stuff.
* He's a little eccentric, but what musician isn't?
* At least he's not pretentious about being one.
* Which is a good thing, because he's driving me to and from work, so that I don't feel totally unnerved talking to him about that sort of thing, even though (as it always seems to be) it's not like he knows classical music or anything.
* But yeah, he ran off to band practice after dropping me off.
* Sigh.
* Four (or three, depending on how you count it) more days before it's been a year since I set foot in Finland.
* Sigh.
