  • So another week has passed and tomorrow I'll be entering into the third week that I'm here in Sweden =]. Since I'll be busy with school later on, I really hope that I can travel within the next few days, although I'm not really sure where to go yet. I checked the prices for Stockholm but they're a bit expensive since I'm planning in such last minute (I wish I knew my school schedule earlier so I could've planned earlier), and I don't feel like going to Denmark again since I went to Copenhagen just last Saturday (Copenhagen, by the way, is a very nice city =]). I should go there again to go on the cannel tour when it's not raining.

    I finally figured out my residence permit today and went to Malmo to get my photo and fingerprints done-card will be sent to my address within a week =]. It'll act as my ID and substitute for passport from now on during my stay in Sweden =]. So now I just need to open my bank account tomorrow and everything in terms of living should be settled. Which goes to the next step of figuring out my school time table. Apparently in Sweden the school schedules are really confusing. You don't get the standard "every Tuesday and Thursday, 2:30-5:00" classes but instead, you get the "this week your class is on Monday 10-12 and next week you will have two classes, one on Tuesday 3-5 and the other on Friday 12-2"... like...how do you expect me to remember when to go for class? Not including the fact that the locations for classes each time are different too! I guess Lund doesn't have a very good scheduling system with their professors, or the professors just like flexibility so much that they're willing to have students miss each class (those who either don't remember there's a class or who are lost somewhere within the campus) so that they can go on vacations each week =P. Not really sure what the terms are.

    Anyhow, something interesting about myself: I think I actually like cooking! Or I'm either forced into a situation where I must cook so I want to cook good food for myself =]. No I don't follow any recipes and I just do whatever I want with the food but somehow I think it all tastes pretty good =]...I'm actually satisfied by my own cooking! Of course, I'm still a bit disappointed that there's no chicken wings here or fresh fish for me to cook, but overall things aren't THAT bad when you have a supermarket just right beside where you live and you can always shop for groceries easily. I think there's more and more food building up in my refrigerator now ever since I found out about "the joy of grocery shopping" lol. The other day I went into a larger supermarket with Bernia and I was so excited about eggplants and carrots that I gave a small squeek and was like "Bernia I'm so happy! I can make carrot soup!" =D lol. So I ended up trying to cook rice and vegetables with chicken and carrot soup with corn and it all ended up alright.

    And for me right now, living by myself in my little apartment is like a long forgotten dream come true. Its long forgotten because I haven't thought about it until just now. Ever since little, I always played pretend in my room where my room is my house and I had everything inside-the kitchen, bathroom, bed-all accessible within reach. I never fancied a super big house because I'd think it'd be quite lonesome if you're living by yourself. So living in my apartment right now everything is within a few steps reach and I can always have a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to go up and downstairs =]. I guess the only problem is that there's no really good ventilation system so every single time I finish cooking my whole studio smells like food =P.

    i think it's time for me to send out the first batch of postcards tomorrow =] So if you're one of my precious girlfriends, expect for a postcard soon =] (not all of you though because I want to send you postcards from other countries instead!) ^^"
