Hello again.
This blog will come to you in a number of parts I don't really know yet, because I don't know exactly what I'm gonna come up while writing.
1. Sorry about not having read your beginning of the story. I haven't had time to. Is a little bit of a lie, since I've had time to watch half a season of Elementary since last Friday. But still, it's the end of the year, and I feel I have all these deadlines and exams for different classes piling up.
2. Speaking of Elementary, you know the stories about Sherlock Holmes better than I do. What's the actual story behind Moriarty and Sherlock, and Irene Adler and Sherlock? Because pretty much all I know about Moriarty is that he's Sherlock's nemesis and they fell into their death together, though after a time he was brought back for some more books, because fans. About Irene Adler I know even less about. Just that I think she is the lover or something of Sherlock, or has been in the past, or something.
Anyway, I'm asking, because the only thing that I'm sure about is that the stories of those two characters are definitely not what the screenwriters of Elementary have given them.
3. "All these deadlines and exams" isn't quite as much as I feel like it is. When I started to actually think about it, I have three weeks of classes left, during which time I have one exams and five deadlines, one of which is for a thing that I haven't started yet and thus will take more than a couple of hours to finish.
And during those (actually a little less than) three weeks, I have some 35 hours of lectures. Of which I'm planning on skipping the last two, so I cans tart my Christmas holiday three days earlier.
Ok, actually I have one more deadline in January for one of the classes that I'm on now but it's not a very big thing and I'll have almost a month time to worry about just that between the classes end and the new classes begin after New Year's, so I'll just deal with that then.
4. I promised to crochet (is a word I've never heard before) a Tyranitar for a friend. I have the thread and the hook and a picture of the Pokémon, and I have no idea where to start. So that's going well.
Speaking of doing things, I have a great idea for a gingerbread house for this year. I really want to come there already, just so that I can start working on that. Then again, of course, I can't. I still do have some classes to attend.
5. You probably know this already, being in Finland again, but they're voting in the parliament about the marriage law on Friday. Though apparently it's not the final vote. Now they're just voting about whether to keep working on the law so they can finally vote some time in the spring about whether to allow it to pass or not. I don't know. I don't know how this whole making new laws thing works. I just know, that if they now vote no, then that's the end for that. For now, obviously. But then someone has to suggest again, if we could change the law. And someone will. But it's gonna take some more time, and then the new proposal has to go through all this again.
If someone could easily explain what exactly they're voting about there on Friday, please explain.
Either way, it looks like it's going to be a tough vote. There are 199 people voting, of which 99 have said to support the new would-be law. 14 haven't said anything. So yeah, that's something for you to write about on Friday.
6. Is Christmasy a word? Cause I used it in the title, but I have no idea. It works when said out loud, but I've never seen it used in a text. Which also means I don't know if I should spell it like that, or some other way, or if it's with a capital letter or not. Since Christmas is with a capital letter, but Christmasy, is it is a word is an adjective.
In Finnish I wouldn't even have to think about this. It's so easy when you speak a language where you can just come up with words no one has ever used before, and they're perfectly good and right and understandable, and then they're words, and no one can come and say they're not. Unless you form them wrong in the first place.
Ok, I have an exam to study for, so I'll hear from you on Friday.
I'm really looking forward to writing another Christmas story with you.
