Getting back into the saddle - A.K.A. Blogger attempt numéro deux

So yeah... That happened. The old blog that I started pretty much died.

Life, as it has a weird tendency to do, came into the way of, well, everything.

I won't go too much into detail, but the gist of it is as follows.
Life, blah blah blah, no money, blah blah, work, no time for studies because of work, blah blah, alternative work, blah blah, making arrangements for continuing and finishing up studies, blah blah blah, success.

Now, when I say success, I mean, I got the preparations done for me to continue, and truly finish, my studies and achieve the dream of an ATPL.

"So what's going on now?" you ask.

Exactly one week from now, I will be free from my current job and will return to studies full time. As my school had to move due to some shady local politics here in the Greater Helsinki Area(GHA), the studies will continue at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport, where the school has new and shiny premises as well as a few new aircraft. This off course called for me to make living arrangements in the city of Tampere, and luckily enough, I found a place the very same day I started looking for it.

So what does full time studying exactly mean in this case. Well, as the studies will be done in periods of two weeks in classroom and two(-ish) weeks away, I'll be spending some of the time back home in GHA(in my mind pronounced like a feral language or an orc for those fantasy literature fans out there might find familiar; "GHAAAAAAA!!").

I've created myself a quite strict timetable for the independent studies done here in GHA, to make sure that as little slacking as possible would occur. Basically, my days will be full workdays from 07:00 to 17:00 Monday through Friday. Weekends I've left for R&R (Rest and Recuperation) as any mind will need some time off as well. Also I've made physical exercise an integral part of my timetables in order to make sure that I don't fall out of shape, I stay in shape and that my mind stays focused. I'll be posting an example of my typical GRA weeks timetable here when I have time.

As for posting schedule, I'll try to update weekly, or if something of note happens. At least so until graduation. Then, at some point I might start updating on my search for a job, and hopefully at some point, the training at the company it self.

Wish me luck.

PS. I've hidden all the old postings as they would most likely just confuse anyone reading. Sorry peeps.

PPS. This blog is now more of a tool for myself to see how well I stick to my schedule, more than for anyone else. If you have any questions though, please do not hesitate to ask in the comments. I'll answer to the best of knowledge.
