tiina's blog: Short update before I go home for Christmas

My life has been pretty much sitting in front of my computer for the past month, one of the third year pleasures: DISSERTATION. Pffff… We handed in our first draft today (JEEEEE!), so now I can breath for a while. I still have few thousand words to go but most of it is done.

Otherwise uni work is going quite well. I finished my sink model, now I’m waiting for Corian DuPont to manufacture it. I’m quite happy with the final result. The drain groove pattern will be a bit different in the actual produced object. I’ll post pictures as soon as it’s ready.
My second minor is about ‘stereotypes of everyday objects’, why chair is like it is or why wineglass looks like it does… It is not that interesting when I write about it but my models are quite funky, you’ll see in January.

I visited Paris again last month. I was finally brave enough to take the train between England and France. I didn't see any fishes under the channel though. :(

I’m so happy to go home. I miss Helsinki loads and even though Nora is sunbathing in Thailand I’m thrilled to go back home for 10 days and see Suvi, Anne and the kids plus the Helsinki night life is calling my name.

Hmmmm, maybe I’m getting old, feeling homesick is not really like me at all.

It is really weird to think that this is my last time that I leave Kent for Christmas. This place, our beloved Chatham, is very special after all. I don’t know do I love it or hate it, will I think about it as a great place or just as a chav centre?

titiMadam is taking a quite a lice of my time. We’ve had four sales so far and the stuff is literally disappearing from our hands. We have loads of new colors ans designs. Now we are looking for a retailer from London, Paris and Helsinki.
It is a shame we cant spend more time on it, because we are actually making some money with Adam.
