Holidays are suffered and decade has past. Have I made any promises for new year? Nope! I spent my holiday in Kuopio with my family, damm I missed them. While I was in Finland I also saw my friends both in Jyväskylä and in Kuopio, I was shocked. Beer is so expensive! Yes I knew…

Our lab cycle has started and man are they something? Many of them requires you to do quit a lot before hands. For example, in microprocessor lab we prepare the whole code before hands and in the lab we only test and fix our code. They also feel more theoretical. Week started like every week…

Yep, that is the question of this week! That’s because of the Halloween which was on Thursday 31.10. In addition, first of November was All Saints Day, which meant a lighter studying week for us.
