My previous journal entry is quite old. So much fun things happened last week. Shall tell later when it's not so late when I blog.

Anyway I discovered a new foodie on bravenet. Say welcome to

I have now added to my friend list. But beware, going there when it's bed time is dangerous

I had a sore throat for 2 weeks, what a pain when I needed to use my voice and be social. I feel like when I have no friends left here, it's really empty. It's my first year having no friends and still need to struggle with school work. I feel like I wanna give up and just do soemthing different for a while. I guess I'm still depressed from not having any friends here, the amount of work piling up on my desk and tired for chasing friends to get them to call me.

And I felt good, I managed to post away the things I should do. I went to exercise, swimming to be more precise. I swam 650 metres and afterwards I had muscle pain. Before going to swimming I walked all the way to the swimming hall, which took me 30 minutes. One day done, 6 more days or should I say 5? Today I feelt so sleepy so I skipped the swimming. Instead I focused on the studies.
Today I had a lesson about political meals and there was a picture about Thanksgiving and George W Bush photgraphed in Bagdad on Thanksgiving 2003. I remember I asked the teacher about the meaning of Thansgiving from the beginning. And now I took this quiz, i didn't look for it, more like I clicked on RANDOMIZE QUIZ

Thanksgiving Horoscope for Taurus

You're the sign most likely to leave in disgust if your family starts fighting. Your signature dish: Gravy Your signature dessert: Apple pie This holiday: Make sure to get your downtime, or else you'll be a grumpy bull!

This week in my course we had speech training and theory. I managed to deliver 2 out of 3 speech. The last one I had trained on it but just 1 hour before the speech my throat got worser and I caught and caught and still my throat didn't get better until 3 hours later.

This week has been crazy, I have been working on the coffee break concept for Scanian Food Academy annual day and still I managed to screw some cookies. Yes, I fail at baking. Cooking is so much easier.

This weekend I have been studying, cleaning my room and managed to finish something. Then I wrote something for my  friend Cara, the time we spent together came back to me and I had to grab my old journal to go through everything again. My time in England marks the beginning of the journey I took, from shy and always lived in my own little world into a more open minded and not to shy to speak my mind. Now I'm going to indulge myself into the journal and just enjoy. I wish everyone a good start on the new week. Stay safe. Just before I end this entry I shall post a funny quiz result.

You Should Travel to Paris

When you travel, you demand the best. You desire total luxury. You want a vacation full of pampering, delicious food, and the ultimate in comfort.. You should travel: To any Four Seasons hotel Via a luxury cruise To world class cities like Paris and London To any five star spa or resort Via a private jet

When I went to China during summer, I went to Hainan which is situated in southern part of China. It's a island with tropical climate and I had one of the best experience ever. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the food and the simple joys of simplicity. So when I saw this quiz I couldn't stop myself from taking it and here is the result.

You Are an Acai Berry

You are an intense, fascinating person with a very strong personality. You don't shy away from controversy, and you're incredibly independent. You are cultured, knowledgeable, and worldly. You have a deep understanding of things. You are lively and healthy. You believe your body is a temple, and you treat it as such.

The school started this week. I had two lessons only. It looks to be a good course. I have communications with food and meal right now.
Also we took a task beside school work to make something for a Scanian Food Academy organisation when they have their annual day where there will be seminars, handing out scholarships to some students and teachers. We are doing a coffee break concept but so far it's a secret what the theme is. One of my classmate won one of the scholarship. It's a great honour somebody from our school winning such thing as we are so small university and cannot compete with the famous Lund University.
So this is a great as we can show that a smaller university college like Kristianstad can compete with the bigger ones.
Anyway I have been busy with a home exam lately and now I have some time to blog. I found two quizzes to fill out. Here is the result:

You Are Peach Iced Tea

You are easy going and very friendly. You are happy to make every occasion a social event. You need lots of people in your life. You feel lonely and bored when no one else is around. You are a generous and caring person. You are emotionally involved in many people's lives. You may come off as overly sweet, but you can't help it. You're a naturally sweet person.

Your Soul Is Connected to the Spring

You are an optimistic, eternally hopeful person. No matter how dark things get, you always see the light. You are open-minded and always up for a fresh outlook on life. You don't cling to ideas or beliefs. You are sweet hearted and have good intentions. Even though you've seen a lot in life, you remain innocent. People see you as playful and even a bit airy. You feel free to be yourself, and that's a beautiful thing.

I woke up today much later than I would but on the other hand I can always go back to my student room and clean it another day. A friend of mine who left Sweden suddenly is coming back to clean out her things so I'm going to help her as I'm going to clean out what my former room mate left me. So for the past weeks since I arrived back to Sweden I have been doing absolutely nothing. But I guess I'm in the middle of deciding which way I'm going to take this autumn. Definitely I will get back into exercising and spending less hours in front of the computer. During my China trip I have realised what I have known for many months now. Computer has taken over my life and my wish to decrease the hours over something else has grown bigger. So now I will try to read more books and spend less hours in front of the computer. I took a quiz to have something to blog about, I don't know if everything appeals to me or not. Oh, well try your yourself what it says about you.

You Are A Thoughtful Idealist

You are scared of new experiences. It's hard for you to break outside of your comfort zone. You like to think that people see you as dramatic and fascinating. You do your best to seem mysterious. You are a very romantic person. You can't help but see the world as it should be. Right now, stress occasionally makes you feel trapped in your life. You usually have a clear perspective on things though! Overall, your life is calm and steady. Not much stirs you, and each day is full of joy. You are extremely optimistic about the future. You feel like things are always getting better.

I know I haven't had any interest to keep my blog active but I want to try to be active again. I have changed the theme a little and changed images. Then I updated my friend list and saw this nice quiz from J'laine.


I just came back from China, my first trip and it was wonderful. I was there for a month. The best part of it was drinking fresh coconut juice and teasing chickens.

You Are a Magician

You're a dynamic, charismatic person who's possibly headed for fame. You tend to charm strangers easily. And you usually can get what you want from them. Verbally talented, you tend to persuade people with your speaking and writing. You are affectionate and loving, but it's hard for you to commit to any one relationship. Your strength: Your charm Your weakness: Your extreme manipulation tactics Your power color: Indigo Your power symbol: Four leaf clover Your power month: December

I know, I disappear again. It seems like I haven't bloged a lot so far. Not good at all. I'm sure everyone miss me. Thanks Lutchi for checking back on me. What have happened since march is that I had practise at a local café where they serve healthy, close produced and ecological food buffet. During that time I was supposed to write my paper but after several mistakes I have now the whole summer to try to doing it. it won't be easy as I have a summer course about FOOD AND CLIMATE from an ethical perspective and also I will be visiting relatives in China for a month. So it will be fun, nervous and stressful.

I don't even remember what I have done for the last 2 weeks but this week my practice has started and I have began with studying about TEA.
I have been reading half of the book about teas and my head is spinning around. I have contacted the person for the small company where I will help her with a food matter and requested to practice there for free for 3 hours 2 days in a week, just to get myself some time learning. In mean while I'd try to get some retail happiness but I fail at that too. I haven't found something I really want. On the other hand I have gone out dining during lunch time just to get some breaks and myself out of the house.
