Needing help

I am almost finished with my studies, all the courses are done, but I still have to write my B (2500-3500 words) and C thesis (6000 words). There has been many different ideas what to write about -
A. Vroom-Yetton model and its compliance with public sector.
Could VYM be helpful to decide how to make a decision and how much should the public be engaged in making a decision. The Vroom-Yetton model was designed to use in organisations to help managers making good decisions. Not in all cases the manager has to inform or engage other parties.
B. Consociation model - could it be applied to Estonia?
Would the model adapt with Estonian society.
C. The subjective well-being of civil servants.
As much as I have looked into the topic of subjective well-being, I believe it could be interesting to do some research on it, but as far as I have understood I have to gain more knowledge before. Unfortunately.

None of those seem to be good enough, so I am having real trouble what to write about. The topic has to be relevant in the present, the aim of my thesis has to be clear. It is not going well... The main problem is to decide what to write about. How to get ideas? I have to figure it out and quickly. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Jõulud!

Tehniliselt võttes on nüüd käes jõulud ja ka talv on alanud. Trenni asemel, kui ka lisaks, olen saanud viimastel päevadel lund rookida - autole teed teha ja koerale jalutamisradu maja ümbrusesse.

Täna üritasin Nõmme turult piparkoogitainast osta, aga ei - olin hiljaks jäänud. Müüjanna kohaselt "Kes siis enam piparkooke teeb, homme on ju pühad juba." Õnneks super- ja hüpermarketid sellest ei hooli ja varustavad hiliseid jõulude pidajaid tainaga. Lisaks sellele neli värvi glasuuri (ja kaks Jõulusiidrit). Aknad kaunistasin ka täna ära, nüüd ootame koeraga rahulikult homset... Et uuesti tõusta ja pakkida ja küpsetada ja koristada ja rookida...

P.S. Nii palju vanahärrasid New Yorkeri kottidega muude pühade ajal ringi liikumas ei näe

Brands..

I just wondered around in some clothing sites - Bubbleroom, FCUK - and started to like S'NOB even more. I bought a pink short sleeve jacket this summer and a t-shirt by them and they really have great design. Great dresses can be found in Vila collections. Overall, Scandinavian and Danish cloth design is in focus currently. But it would also be nice to go to London and see what is going on there.. and to get my purple Sisley jacket back..

The winter is not making any favors to dresses, at least I am not able to fadge dresses with overcoats. It is time for jeans and jeggins then, which overall is a bit boring. P.S. Hard time for hair as well, they do not like being topped with hats.

Välisilm 6 Detsember

Eurooplaste kommentaarid Wikileaksi dokumentide avaldamisele:
Suureneb läbipaistvus, kasulik demokraatiale, saame paremini aru ja teada, mis reaalselt diplomaatilistes suhetes toimub...

Ameeriklaste kommentaarid:
See on väga halb, teatud dokumendid ongi mõeldud olema salastatud, me ei soovi läbipaistvust...

Kas küsimus on vaid portreteerimises, või on tegemist üldisema hoiakuga, ei julge oletada, kuid juba portreteerimine oli huvitav

The Dog

 

As I mentioned before, I have a dog here...Well this is it. He is great - well I love well-trained dogs.

A place called home

 

This is were I live currently. We sold the house in July, moved out in September, mother bought an apartment in August. She and my brother live there. It is almost finished, just the kitchen furniture is missing + living room furniture. But we hope, that everything will be finished for Christmas..

Currently we are looking for an apartment as well, but just to rent it. We are supposed to move out in the end of October, the dog will stay with the owner of course. Have been doing laundry and cleaning today, enjoying or getting used to being alone with the dog, as the other person living here left for a week. Mom and I are planning to go for a little sunbathing trip this week as well, will be back in the middle of October. Have to write my B thesis.. by 1st of November. Haven't started yet. And grandmother has a 75-years-anniversary in December!

I am into Väike Tom and X-Factor currently. Felt sorry for Gamu Nhengu, she was great and for Tom & Paije as well, but holding my thumbs for Storm, John, Matt and Rebecca (great-great-great!). Unfortunately public and my opinion are usually different especially as the most people British who vote.

Noore vanatädi märkmikus sorides...

Virisevad vanad naised on elu kõige tüütumad nähtused.

Kui kortsud juba niikuinii peavad tulema, siis tulgu nad rohkest naerust ja mitte igavesest virisemisest.

Muumid

Eile oli viimane tööpäev Okaidis. Nii kahju... Viimase päeva tunnet ei olnud. Tuleb külla minna ja kooki viia.
Vennal oli aktus, 9.klassi lõpuaktus. Ja lõpetaski edukalt ära. Loodame, et gümnaasiumi lõpuaktus tuleb ka pea ja ülikooli oma.
Ühe venna kaudu saame kõik ka tädiks sügisel.
Jaanipäevaks plaane ei olnud, kuid kuna oli vaba hetk Hiiumaal käia, siis otsustasin sinna ka pikemaks peatuma jääda. Isa tegi ekskursiooni Tahkuna poolsaarel ning tutvustas Punaarmee sõjarajatisi.
Lisaks sellele sain Hiiumaalt ka Öökulli.
Täna käime tädil jt. külas. Pean arbuusi muretsema ja selle Niitväljale kaasa võtma, hiljem lähme Piritale.

Tartu

 

Before Hiiumaa went to Tartu to see my brother and his wife. They still look cute.

Hiiumaa

 

We went to Hiiumaa for Jaanipäev and met some friends there: Elephant and Owl.

Birthday gift

..it is a t-shirt

My cake!

Well, it is a very cute cake! What a nice surprise for my birthday (I received many other very special gifts as well, so I hope they will not be upset as I just happen to have a picture of the cake).

Thank you all so much and next year: lets hope for nice weather and will be great!

Feeling the pressure

I saw a doctor this week and she said: "And now, tell me the truth - who is Georgian in your family?"

Got back from Hiiumaa on a ferry "Muhumaa". Was sitting on the floor - they really have too little sitting space. I didn't mind sitting on the floor, but there can be a lot of people who probably wouldn't like it.

And I have an exam tomorrow in Public finance.

And from now on - three days at work. Fun-Fun.

And everything is still open .. what to do and where to be in summer..

Shopping

Kingad - 35 krooni (Uuskasutuskeskus)

Lisaks sain roosa jaki, püksid suveks ja pluusi.

Ning eile ostsin kuhja La Senza pesu.

Süümepiinad, aga tuli teha teatavaid kulutusi. Selleks kuuks on loodetavasti kulutused lõppenud. Ootame järgmist palgapäeva.

Kaks eksamit veel teha, 11 päeva tööl käia, Hiiumaad külastada, järgmine kuu Ralph Lauren Romance muretseda ja meigiasju. Ning siis peaks rahu majas olema. Suveks vähemalt. Tühjendan kappe ka veel ikka, viis kotti olen asju Humanasse viinud, järgmisena teatud asjad Uuskasutusse. Nädal tagasi saabusin Rootsist. Vennale vaja triiksärk muretseda. Suvi, tule juba. Ja ilusat emadepäeva järgset päeva.

Time to snore

Good morning and good evening (that depends on how long of a Saturday night you had),

I am weak so I decided not write my thesis this semester.

I started to work. The first week - 7 days in a row. Five of them 12 hours a day.

I am waiting for the volcano to stop. My flight is on Friday. I hope for the best.

And I have a person on Skype, snoring currently. He was angry with me because I didn't wish him happy birthday what overall was very silly of me, because I was thinking of his birthday the whole day and I found him another gift etc., but I didn't let the person himself know that I do care. But we will cope with it, hopefully. I sent him a surprise package by post on Thursday, but it is a bit tricky with the planes right now, so I have no idea where it is stuck right now, but it would be nice if he could get it soon. Typical - I keep forgetting about someone having a birthday, but when I don't forget, then I don't wish him happy birthday.

And I saw D. and J. this week, finally. Haven't seen them for almost a year (the fact that I was real ashamed of). It was so nice to see and talk to them, just amazing. No promises though when we will see the next time. It is not nice to disappoint people.

And I went shopping today - just a little and second hands. Spent a bit too much, but have to manage with it. Feels good to own some new things at least, but have to get rid of the old ones. Gonna start selling them cheap soon.

Good night and be happy!

Many people are extremely happy, but are absolutely worthless to society. ~Charles Gow

I love you, Karma

It is undiscrabable how I feel, but what I can say is that.. well, nothing to say, just amazing

O. is coming to the Baltic states, in the end of March! He bought the tickets few days ago, so it is amazing! It has been quite some time already, 4 weeks now..So I am pretty pleased about that... after that, in April no worries, I booked the tickets some time ago already in February. 

Yesterday, I got an e-mail that we will receive extra money for Erasmus. Just on time, because I have to pay for one course by next Tuesday! Otherwise I would have never managed that without quitting everything else.. but now: I can still go to gym in May and April!!! And I can do other things that I would like to do - to go to see my father and brother, to be able to spend at least some money in Riga etc. Maybe I can even buy one piece of clothing from a second hand..!!

And today.. even more amazing.. I got a job!

Had a phone interview on Wednesday evening, I was shocked because I had to talk in Russian as well.. and today was the face-to-face interview (2 interviewers) .. Tough questions (at least for me) and I was nervous and all over the place.. but in the evening I got the answer.. I got a job!!! And I liked those people so I believe the whole team is going to be nice. Such a happy puppy right now.

What next? Internship for Mr. X and more eating control. But it is going well with the training, managing to do it 5 times a week, this is a third week already, so I don't see myself not doing that for the next few months as well.. And I should write my thesis before starting to work as well, would be really smart. 

- fix my weight and getting fit /takes some months, but going well so far// start with spinning as well

- help with an internship 

- fix the thesis

P.S. and I should visit some people.. will fix that as well

P.S. 2 I have stopped smoking and haven't had a drink for a long time as well.. so next time when I have one, I will probably get dizzy very easily

Going well...

Hope it is going well for you too! If anybody needs help with CV-s, then I can maybe give some tips..
