Some Updates

Good evening friends!
Today has been the first Sunday in Advent. I am really looking forward to Christmas and have Christmas-decorated my apartment. It's lovely!
Right now I am eating a Lucia saffron buns (the bun seen in the first picture) and listening to some Christmas songs by Elvis.

 

And now to school:

I have been quite bussy the last month, hence I have not been feeling up to writing in the blog.
Yesterday I did a survey in town for the math class, the IB Internal Assessment for Math Studies SL. I was asking people about their political standpoint. It's hard to get people to stop in the Christmas shopping though and I didn't get as many as I needed. I published the survey online and now I'm almost done.

The Extended Essay is also done, thank god, and it's really a relife not to have to think about it any more. The Extended Essay is an IB essay that is core content for the entire programme and is, as the name suggests, a long essay. It can be any topic and I chose to make a literature analysis of Pippi Longstocking and Eli from Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist and made a comparison between the two characters. I am quite satisfied, but think I had some errors in the formalia.

We have also finally gotten snow here in Skövde, 5 centimetres! At my mom's place there is apparently 40 centimetres of snow! I love snow; the glitter and the sound when you step on it... Aah winter is here!

I also spotted this snow man yesterday when I got home;

Crazy weather is crazy!

To make an update on my life;
Today we had a themes day/special studies day at school. We made resumes and exercised in job interview situations. I finally got a good resume that I can use for future job applications and found out that my IB diploma will actually have a certificate for me becoming bilingual! (As I don't have English A I thought that it wouldn't be possible)

After that my mom picked me up and we made some business in town. We went to second hand to search for the final pieces for my costume. I found both pants and fabric for the codpiece. I also found a gorgeous bowl, hand painted from the USSR. My mom found an awesome couch that she is going to pick up this Saturday.

When we came out from second hand there was a snow storm outside!There was hail, snow, thunder and sun at the same time, it was crazy! Crazy in a beautiful way that is; hail swirling around, dancing in the wind reflecting the sunlight.

MTV and school

Well hello my friend! My dearest and sweetest, the moist to my cloud!
It is a very glum day today I must say and I find myself wanting to speak in rhymes and alliterations!

At the moment I'm having a free period in school before the English class starts; sitting in the library doing nothing. After lunch and until this moment I was sitting down by the TV watching MTV as that is the only thing which is on. I is rather odd as this is an IT school; nothing but nerds.

MTV is fascinating I must say. Today there were a "My Sweet 16" marathon. My Sweet 16 is basically about brats getting whatever they want for their 16th birthday. Things at the show are just so beyond my comprehension that I can't say anything more than it fascinates me.

Over all things are going well. I stayed up too late yesterday and overslept this morning which means I'm really tired... I end at four and the cafeteria closed an hour ago. It's days lie these that you wish the school was placed closer to town.

Anyway, now I shall go back to my studies at my sanctuary we call the library.
Have a great Thursday!
