Time to move on!

(c) Ville Norppa

Only 3 weeks to go and we are getting quite anxious... You might already know us a little bit and this might not come as a surprise, but we want to go NOW!!!! And usually what we want, we also get it.
We can´t go anywhere physically because school is still disturbing our leisure time, but we will leave this site.
So now it is time for us to say bye bye to Blogger and our old website (WIX.COM) and move to a different channel...

Getting ready for Extreme Run

Last weekend was pretty much about running for both of us. We better keep on running if we want to survive the Extreme Run with a decent time!

Laura went for a run on Sunday and got lost, which made it a lot longer than she planned beforehand, but who cares when the sun is shining and you find places like this:





Pippu was running home from work on Saturday during the night in a quite different atmosphere. A long run really calms you down after a long day at work, right?


Enjoy the spring and keep running! 

PS. We promised to tell how our business presentation went... No tears were shed but it was quite near for Laura to faint ;-) Well anyhow, we NAILED it, got an excellent grade. Hard work gives you permission to play hard... In four weeks it´s time for us to have fun!

First year at school soon about to end

Wiuh, these few weeks has been VERY hectic... We started our last period at school and that only means MANY assignments, group works and exam after exam!!! 

The best group assignment given was to come up with a new business idea and write a business plan out of it in 2 weeks. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Well today,Saturday, we have our last group meeting and on Tuesday we will be presenting it to a possible "investor"= our teacher. You can just imagine the amount of restless nights we have been spending because of this and other assignments...

We both also started Spanish lessons and on Monday we have word exam followed the first big exam on Wednesday. Let me just tell you, 24h in a day is just not enough!!!

But what cheered us up, was our newly renovated classroom. RAY- Finland´s Slot Machine Association sponsored our classroom for giving us more inspiring learning environment. :-)
Classroom G306

Every week we have a new theme week at school and after seeing how our classroom looks like, it just made sense to have Las Vegas- theme.

Even though we haven´t had time to see our friends (SORRY) we have been planning our project. Few magazines contacted us for an interview, we are right on the schedule on planning our "launch event"  and our sponsors gave us energy to finish these last 6 weeks with style by sending the gear for the summer.

Cycling clothes by Dare2B. No one can say our clothes are too dark.
Safety first.

Sun classes by Julbo. No bugs and sand aloud in our eyes. 


Organic lotion and Sun Screen by Annecy Cosmetics.
Oh the sunshine state Colorado not to forget Nevada, we are ready to meet again.
                 
You know how your gym shirts starts to smell quite fast even though you wash them after every use...Nasty, right! This stuff prevents that to happen and we sure need this to prevent people around us to faint.
                         
Deodorizing conditioner for synthetic technical clothing by Nixwax.

Very good start for this weekend.. Now full of energy to make our Business Plan presentation blow our teachers mind away!!! Stay tuned, we will let you know if we cried a bit or a lot! :-)
