3 Days till Finland

Yesterday was my comprehensive exam and I expect to pass. Just got a text message saying we all passed but I haven't heard from the Professor so I will wait till tonight to get the results. After that, just finish these 2 courses and I'll graduate. YAY!

We'll be leaving for Finland in 3 days and we're both so excited. I get to spend some quality time with my family and friends and introduce T to them finally. Only thing making me sad right now is that as it stands now, we won't see my friend Noora at all. She's one of the first people I told about T and I wanted the 2 of them to meet. We have a pretty tight schedule and too few days to see everybody and go to all places. Sigh. It's been too long since I last saw her. :-( This sucks!

Does anyone else think that this season of American idol totally sucks? Other than Danny, everybody else is like a background noise. We did not see the Hollywood week for some reason but it seems like the people who were really good at the auditions have just come down a level in the final 36. I wasn't even able to listen to all of them because they were just so bad and forgettable. And the song choices this season...OMG! They've gone for way too difficult or songs that no one has ever heard before. And then when you rape that song, it makes it really bad. During previous seasons there has been many people who have been unique and memorable from the beginning. This season it's just Danny. I liked Anoop a lot too but he has made some bad song choices lately.

We didn't watch yesterday's episode because we are hooked on the biggest loser and they're on at the same time. I gotta say, Mike is my favorite. He just such a good kid, giving his prize of year worth of grocery's to a member of the OPPOSITE team, losing enough weight to keep his dad in for so long and just being a good person. We both are on team Mike for this one! I also like Tara just because she is hard core when it comes to working out and losing weight. She's losing over 10 pounds every week, except this which was a BAD all around, but she really understand what it's about. And After yesterday's weigh-in she said she let herself down. She wasn't pointing fingers to the trainer like Felipe was or making excuses. She just said she let herself down.

Now Felipe...shut up bro and start working! You're not there to be part of a team and to win all the challenges, you are there to LOSE WEIGHT! You are there for yourself, not for your trainer, not for a show, but to LOSE WEIGHT! Stop crying, stop placing blame and work your ass off! If your trainer doesn't train you, you make sure YOU do twice the work! When you leave the biggest loser camp it's YOU who needs to keep working out, YOU who needs to exercises and YOU who needs to make sure you eat healthy and well. Jillian wasn't the one who poured those drinks down your throat or force you to eat burgers, fries and fried chicken. That's what you get for "relaxing". That's why you are at the camp. Take some responsibility, shut up and work on it. You've lost so much weight so far, you can do it. Just please shut up!

Sorry about my little rant but he doesn't seem to get it. And he was so cocky yesterday that it was time he lost at something.

Anyway, Sox is crying upstairs so I need to go see her. I'll probably blog again before we leave but then probably don't have time to do so in Finland.
Later
