Well, a new school year will be under way soon, so I guess a revamp will be in store, as well as a visit to the school. Unfortunately what with my computer having been on the fritz all summer I haven't gotten much more done on the actual writing portion. However, I've been steadily working on the background information, but I still can't seem to settle with a name for the school in Finland. What I chose before just doesn't seem to fit. I know it's an International School. I can't use "Gifted Youngsters" because that was coined by the makers of X-Men. Darn them. It's been bothering me though.

I'm brainstorming.

In any case, I've finished up the background information for two characters today. For some of them I just need to type some things up and draw conclusions. That should be easy. If only I had a working computer. I suppose I could ask to steal Chellis's or my Mum's more often than I do. But still, in the long run I feel like I'm getting nothing done. I'm just cementing what I already know. I guess finalizing it and putting it on paper is good for a reference when I get farther along, but these days I feel like I'll never be able to get farther along. I can't even look at what I have down now. I don't have a hard copy and I'm not willing to risk starting my computer.

I guess I'll have to stop whining and start pushing my father to get the darn loose screw out of my fan compartment. I would say this weekend but we have company. Maybe sooner rather than later though. (Grrr, I hate putting things off)

First of all, I'm almost finished my first and second chapters. Once completed for this draft I will post them. So you guys have something to look forward to. However, at the moment I'm continuing work on where the school in Finland will be located.

So upon reviewing the places in Finland listed beforehand I ruled out Sankivaara and Ruukki as being locations for Bedivere's. Therefore I'm stuck with either Saha or Raahe. The difference between each of these is the fact that Saha is landlocked and Raahe is coastal. However, both are beneficial to the school. So I'll have to dig deeper on those two places. Ruukki: I feel is too populated. But Ruukki could be used for political meetings or something other than that. Who knows.

"Bedivere's International School of Advanced Studies"
"International School of Advanced Studies"
"International School of Learning"
"Bedivere's International School of Learning Advanced Studies"-tina's vote
So basically I believe I'll go with the final one. I think it's kind of amusing in a way to have a ridiculously long school name.

Bedivere would be a woman who founded the school: it started off as a one room school, but it grew since. Now that one room is the "centerpiece" of the school and used as the trophy/awards room.

It will probably have an okay history, but perhaps a few incidents happen along the way. In any case: tell me what you think?

So I've been looking at detailed maps of Finland online. (mostly the google maps) And I've found possible locations for the school.

Raahe (Or out on the coast nearby)
Ruukki (This is more inland, by a river, and it seems to be a town/city)
Sankivaara (the banks of a river, has few apparent roads)
an Island of the coast near "Saha" (has one road "Laitakarintie") mid-Finland

the weather in Finland: average of 0 degrees in winter (usually below zero in winter nights, a few degrees above during the day)
summer: consistently above 10 degrees. Crazy cold!

why did I pick this location for the school again?
