Erika's World

Hi guys! What's up? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (I probably wrote that a few days ago but it never hurts to be friendly). Yesterday my family and I had a our little Christmas since we all couldn't spend Christmas eve together. It was fun. LOL. Annika had made two potato gratins (delicious BTW) but only one was eaten. We were like nine adults and eight children but the children had waffles with jam and ice-cream. It was a fun night. We ate good food, had fun opened presents, spend time together and all that is Christmas. Today was also fun. I went to Stockholm with my mom (and Merlin) and had tea and scones at this little cute place. For Christmas I got this gift certificate at this bakery so I went and bought some bread there. One big loaf and two small rolls (yummy little rolls, I think that they were made with sifted rye flour, and probably sirup since they had a sweet taste - plus all of those other important ingredients). They place where we had ...

I am sitting here trying to get some homework done. As I told you earlier this week, I have finals in Swedish on Friday so I have to (I don't have too but I want to) finich my speech today so that I have enough time to memorize it. If you live in Sweden, have you finished your speech? And which texts or pictures from the booklet did you use? I used The Kite Runner from the booklet and the book Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot (I think I have already told you this). I am going to try to get some more homework done today. I will see how much though because I am going to a friends/ family memeber in the afternoon. We are going to have some coffe and talk about Christmas. Oh, it is not just me and my friend/ family memember, there are other people too. Hehehe. I am not thrilled by what has been decieded about Christmas but I guess it is run by democracy and I have to follow the matter has been decided . Crule. No, I shouldn't be bratty about this. I was ok whit this for the twi ...

Blä, I have finals in Swedish next week. I have to hold a speech for five minutes. Not, two, four or seven minutes but for fibve whole minutes. So that is what I am working on right now. It is hard because I have to refer to either two texts, two pictures or a text and a picture. So far I have chosen Queen of Babble by Meg Cabot. I love that book, it it totally amazing and so is Meg. Awesome writer, she is my favorite! I think I am going to choose The Kite Runner as my second text. We got this booklet with a bunch of articles, lyric quotes, excerpts from books and such and we have to choose a text or a picture illustarting a text from the booklet in our speech. I think that The Kite Runner will fit in my speech. I hope my teacher thinks so too. The finals in Swedish consits of two tests. The speech - which we will have next Friday - and an essay - which we will have in November and on the day of the test we will have five hours two write the essay. Talk about alot of time, hehehe.
