Erika's World

Hi. It's getting to the end of the day so I thought that I might blog. I really don't know what to write about today other that, OMG school is boring as shit. I have been studying for a test on Thursday and hahaha. It is all a funny situation. I mean I am not saying that it's funny because I know I am gonna fail or anything. This test doesn't seem that hard. It is just that school in Sweden is so drop dead boring. Gosh. But I am signed up for the semester so I am going to take my responsibility and to the right thing. I mean take it seriously. Do my homework, do the tests and all that. (And) have fun in-between, why not right?! I thought that I would leave you all with a picture. If you can point out on a map where I am in this picture, I will applaud you. your writer, Erika

I received my TOEFL addmissons ticket in the mail yesterday. I thought I was going to get it by email, eh, who cares. I have it now and that's what matters. I am glad that I don't have to be at the test center as early as when I took the SATs'. I have to be there at 8:30. I have never been to the test center before, but I looked it up on google maps when I registered for the test. so I have good idea of where it is located. LOL. I am going to check it out this weekend or so. I have to know where it is before I take the test. There is this photo file record that I have to fill out, plus I have to attach a photo o myself. I am going to ask my graphic communications' teacher is she can take a picture of me, since it has to be recent and she takes pictures of the whole group anyway. I started my personal statement essay for my college application last night. It is so hard, I don't know what to write about. On UCLA website there are some tips on how to write a good p...

Today I took the SAT. It was a fun experience (I wonder if I will say the same thing if I fail?). I thought that I was going to be the only one taking the test. Tops one others person. No, there was bunch of people there. Plenty more than I expected. There was guy there that look like Robert Pattinson's better looking unknown identical twin. Seriously. DAMN! This guy was better looking and he was tall (taller, I don't know because I don't know how tall Robert is). Seriously the test wasn't hard at all. By that I mean that it wasn't harder than any test I have had in school. I was like a regular test. So people don't freak out if you are going to take the test. It is just a test (that is going to determine your future - no pressure, LOL). But seriously, take a deep breath and relax. You will receive 600 points anyway just for filling out the front page of your answer sheet correctly. So don't mess up your name and remember your address (incase you don...

I am sitting here blogging (Have It Hollywood and my new blog ), watching Pretty Little Liars and cooking dinner (salom lasagna). Later I have to study for a test I have on Friday. It is about the history of the Swedish langue. It is a small test. Well, that is what my teacher told me. I am persuasive. Yep, I am. I have been nagging Linda to watch 90210 for months and she has finally caved in. Mohaha! You never know when you will be the vitcim of my persuasiveness. Hehehe. your writer, Erika

Now I am at home trying to get some blogging done before I have to do some more homework and have to help mom with dinner. I probably don't have to help my mom with dinner but I like cooking and the recepie is from a cook in my room. Hehe. Anyway. I am writing a analysis on H&M and some english grammar exercises (SAT). After dinner I am going to study for the history test I have on Friday. Though the test is only the ancient times. So it is not much. Well, it depends on who you ask. I think Linda agrees with me that it is not so much. your writer, Erika.

Yep, that's me. Little miss busy. Why? You ask, well let me tell you. I am homework, a test on friday and I have to study for the SAT's. It's much. Too Much. Plus my mind is (like) somewhere else, so it is even harder to stay focused on what I am supposed to do. Yeah life is hard (the people usally say "Well, think about the poor children in africa." and I say "I am partcial from Africa. Yeah, so what about me?!"). Oh, I forgot. I have TO blog. Yeah beacuse otherwise I will loose readers and I don't want that. Espacially on HIH. your writer, Erika

I got a pleasant e-mail this morning. I don't have to take any of the SAT Subject tests because UCLA do no longer require freshmans to take any of the SAT Subject test starting 2012 fall admissions. Isn't that great. In the e-mail it also said the I don't have to take the TOEFL test. Weird. I will anyway, just to be on the safe side and other univeristies require international students to take it. I am happy that I don't have to take any of the SAT Subject test. Wanna know why?  Because that means that I don't have to be at a test center  at 7.45 in the morning. It already sucks that I have to be at the test center that early when I am going to take the SAT Reasoning test. I just have to keep my mind focused on that it is for a good thing. I wonder of the TOEFL test is hard? If it is all in english like the SAT Reasoning test? Or if it is in both Swedish and English? I wonder, I wonder. your writer, Erika

I am sorry that I haven't blogged so much in the last few days but I have been busy with college stuff. What have you been doing the last few days? As I said I have been busy with college stuff. I have been trying to register for the SAT's. Oh em gee, I found out something horrible! If I want to apply to University of California I have to do not only one but TWO SAT subject test! First I thought that I was going to get out of doing the SAT's but NO. And now I have to take the SAT subject test. After this morning I am a little bit more inspired to take all of those tests.           Let me tell you why: It snowed! Yeah I didn't want to believe it at first either. It is May it is not supposed to snow in May. I sure hope I get in to a school in Califronia where it doesn't snow in May (Don't get me wrong, it does not normally snow in May in Sweden. It just happened to do it today.). your writer, Erika

On Friday I have a four hour long test! Yeah, I am so excited - NOT! The test doesn't take four hours, have fout hours to take the test. Plus we don't get lunch. The test is between 9 AM and 1 PM and we usally get lunch between 11:15 AM and 12:15 PM but not on Friday. I have to bring something or else I am going to be dead when I get home! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! LOL! I haven't mentioned the best part yet - It's a  four hour math test! your writer, Erika

Next wednesday - january 20th - I am going to a preview screening of It's complicated with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. They day after I have a test in school. So I have to study hard this weekend and next week except wednesday so I don't - not that I have ever faild on anything!

So this week I was home for two days and I didn't write anything! That's bad. I had a sore throat (which I still have). I can barley swallow. It hurts that much. My medicine (I think it's that) made me nauseous, but I am still taking it and I am not nauseous now. OMG, I don't what to do. I want to stay home from school tomorrow, but I have a test (and I don't like to do tests afterwards). Do you see mu dilemma?! Oh my god it hurts, I' gonna dieeeeeeeeeeee! Ok I am overreacting now but still it hurts. Last friday - two days ago - when I was in school I felt really nauseous several times. I wanted to go home but I couldn't. Maybe I could but I was going to go and see Confessions of a Shopaholic with my mom. So I didn't know if she would let me go if I went home. I don't have any feber or I don't know because the thermometer is not working quite right. I tried to check my temperature a few days a ago and it said that I had 33,8 degrees celsius. i kn...

Sunday, sunday, sunday. The last day of the weekend. Sad. This weekend I've been studying for an other test that I have on tuseday. God, it's like a freaking test-season but soon it's fall break. The week after the fall break we are going to work with the presidential election that's going on in the US. The election is the week so our teacher thought it was a good idea for us to work with that. I was like yes. He's not there that week we can either work with the election our start on the next thing we are going to work with. I was like sitting quietly in my seat thinking "The election, the election, the election!". I hope you guys don't have as much homework as I do! Don't forget to watch the Jonas Brothers new music video, Lovebug, that premieres today. your writer, Erika.
