Illness

I am back online... from village center of course. I've been ill for one week from now... and been absent from school since last Tuesday. I think I am going to meet lots of mad teachers when I get back to school... Today, our family doctor visits the village center today so I am finally getting excuse from the doctor. I've had... (looking dictonary right now... hmm... how is nohu in English... ah! influnenza) ee... influenza for a week now and also cough! I had also sore throat earlier... Well, I am now recovering and I was even at theater yesterday... first time in my life. It was "Cinderella" with leading Estonian actors and actresses... We didn't pay for anything because it was done during a trip organized by Elva Handicapped Children Union (I have Asperger's syndrome). Ticket itself costed 60 EEK by the way(I wonder why it was so cheap!)

I reprogrammed my METAR retriever earlier this week so I can enter data manually to it. As you know, I don't have Internet connection at my home anymore... I'm also programming European map in Qbasic... to track better extratropical storms...

Today, second extratropical storm in this week is in forecast. However... winds are going to be only just a gale-force at coast. They were expected to be near 60 knots in coastal areas on Monday!!!

Thanks to illness, I don't have so much school stress so TLI has risen above 400! That's a good news... Bad news is that it is likely to fall next week when I'll be back at school...

I am still hoping that one day, any New Age radio stations would be launched in my area, but this is all...

So much for this time!
p.s. everybody else but not my brother and father are ill..

Finally...

Finally I remembered to update my blog as I stopped by at the village center.

Well, it has been hard time over couple of months. I am right now struggling at high school and having such depression that if I'd be a low pressure area, I'd be same low as hurricane Katrina! My heart has also become ill and grades have dropped to 2-3(20-45 to 45-70 percent!). And I was so succesful at 9th class!!!

There has a lot happened during the summer. I was even on the meteorology enthusiast meeting in August, went to high school on September 1, had an ex-hurricane Maria on September 14. I have even an observation log at http://karel.pri.ee/laguja/orkaanmaria/maria.htm . Be sure to multiply my wind readings with 0.86 because I used a bit unprecice method. Then came october, I saw a solar eclipse. In November, I had strongest storm since January and wind gusts even reached my home far inland at 50 miles per hour... or 22 meters per second... On last Saturday, TV crew was at my home to film my weather interest. They are going to show me in "Christmas Tunnel" on December 25 at Estonian Television(www.etv.ee).

I calculate now tension lack index what changes as my moods change. As I am having bad times, it drops and as I am having good times, it rises. It was between 15-20 yesterday evening although initial value in 1 November was 100!. From that, I compare myself on weathermap with formula - 1013-((100-TLI)*1.33)). And as you could imagine, low like my depression would be a real headache for Gulf of Pärnu residents.

From my uncle, I got a wet-bulb thermometer yesterday. With that, I even consider bringing my weather forecasts back, although they go only to my weather site's mailing list as I don't have Internet connection at my home anymore(although I have GPRS connection in my cell phone). In November, I restored warnings at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/weatheratlaguja . The sad part is that I may not be on guard all the time, because school doesn't even leave me time much for weather observations!

Also, I got a sore throat yesterday. I wonder how I am able to go to school tomorrow. Well, I try... I hope that with the help of GNLD's Garlic Allium Complex, I can get fine soon(It used to help in March when I was ill... and in August too)... In High school, it is not welcome to be ill... I guess that to send more ill people to school and work, our docs have lifted fever limit index from 37.0°C(98.6°F) to 37.5°C(99.5°F).

Oh, and barely forgot! Village Center was in newspaper Tartu Postimees on Monday... It had an article about rings and other activities over here. Although, children here are disappointed in that article :(

Yesterday, I got another 90%(5) in one test in English language. There was also another test, but I don't have that grade yet. But I am very very worried about the school... I hope I can graduate High school successfully... Equations are making me crazy, in chemistry I have to have test for several topics at the same time(a lot of work!). Because graduating high school decides if I am going to be able to start studying meteorology or not... Although I wish I could be able!

Well, that's all for right now. I try now to drop a small update every time I can access Internet from the village center 2 kilometers away from my home.
