The sound of silence

I still don't have much motivation to write anything here because I don't really know what to write about. Life is still pretty much the same for me although I'm getting a bit excited that the autumn is pretty much gone and days are starting to become longer and stuff like that. I have been in quite a crappy place mentally during this autumn, but I'm hoping to snap out of it when there's more light and spring starts to arrive :)

I got contract extension for my part-time job so that's nice :) The new contract lasts until the end of April and hopefully I will graduate in March so I could actually start thinking my next move. I have done all the required courses (and couple extra ones too) so all I'd have to do is my thesis. Even that shouldn't be that bad once I find motivation somewhere.

Christmas is almost here as well and this time I'll be going to Helsinki to see my sister, parents and some other relatives as well. Haven't seen them in quite a while so it should be fun :) But I guess this is it for now. Happy holidays and enjoy life :)

Here's my favourite Christmas song (and I specially love this version of it). It's not too happy song but I still think it's beautiful :)



And here are the lyrics in English just in case anyone actually listens to it and wants to know :P

A Sparrow On Christmas Morning

The snow has already covered the flowers in the valley, the wave of the lake frozen in the winter cold.
A little sparrow, eaten it's summer food, the wave of the lake frozen in the winter cold.

On the stairs of a little cottage was a dear girl: come, sparrow, happily, take a seed from me!
It is Christmas, my poor homeless sparrow, come here happily, take a seed from me!

To the girl now happily flew the dear sparrow: thankfully a seed I will take from you.
God will want to reward you one day. Thankfully a seed I will take from you!

I am not, my child, a bird from this land, I am your little brother, I came from heaven.
The little seed, that you gave to the poor, got your little brother from the land of angels.
