Statistics of my time, or where I wake up in the morning

I had a sudden realisation while taking a shower this morning: I've become one of those people, who spend less than half of the year at home. A quick check with iCal on my laptop (no, I wasn't in the shower anymore) told me that Nov '07 - Oct '08 I have 229 realized and projected mornings, when I wake up somewhere else. And the estimate is conservative, there will propapbly be more of them.

Most of it comes from working in Moscow, of course. I worked there
for two months from November to early January (60 mornings), and will be working there from 26th of May to the end of September (estimate, projected 128 mornings). Well, that's more than half a year already.

Partly because I spend so much time abroad, our summer cottage has a relatively small number of wakings (6, all projected), and even those are only because I have a trip for robbers roast planned, and American guests coming over in May. Helsinki has become more common since I became a member of the board of Young Fedealists of Finland (and maybe my parents living there nowadays helped too). It has 9 realised and projected mornings this spring, and almost certainly more will come in the fall (not counted here).

Another larger segment comes from a planned (and pretty certain) trip to the States in October, two or three weeks it should be (counted as 14 mornings here). The rest comes from small things, like a ferry trip (2 mornings, projected), a trip to Lapland (4 mornings, realised), or just waking up in Jyväskylä somewhere else than home (6 mornings, all realised, I don't do projections with these).

And when was I supposed to write my master's thesis again?
