Halloween and stuff...

Hejhej :)
It's me - again ;) The last few days were really busy and stressful - learning for the exam, preparing the project,...enough stuff to do. But finally I have some spare time and nothing to learn.
First of all I had my swedish exam last friday (not yesterday) - it went OK, i guess. The exams in Sweden are totally different than in Austria - there are special rooms for the exams, and when you enter the room you have to show your ID and a person checks your name on a list. Then you get a number - and you have to sit on the table that has the same number. So you can't choose where to sit and who's sitting next to you... You're only allowed to have a pen and something to drink/eat on the table - no clothes, no papers, nothing. Everything must be put in the back of the room. During the exam some guards walk around (!) and check the student IDs. Of course they also make sure that nobody's cheating. Totally different than in Austria.
However, yesterday I had my second exam (WebDesign and Digital Imaging) and it was OK - we were allowed to use computers to write the HTML Code, so the WebDesign part was quite easy (at least for me). The Digital Imaging Part, however, was quite hard - we weren't allowed to use a computer and had to know all the photoshop functions by heart. Honestly, who knows where to find which tool and how it's called without actually sitting in front of photoshop?
Well, time will show if I answered enough questions correctly.
On Tuesday we had the presentation of our Homepage and thank god, it went really well. Jelka, Doreen and I did a very good presentation, in my opinion. We did a Homepage for a swedish Trash Metal Band called "gotma". You can find the Homepage here (ONLY for Firefox).

On Wednesday there was a Halloweenparty (of course) and since I really was in the mood for dressing up, I decided to put some effort in my costume. Yeah, this should be a Freddy-Krueger dress up. Too bad I couldn't find some good gloves/hands with knifes ;) But I was quite satisfied with my bloody face with the scars and the burned skin.
The Party was not very special, which was a shame, because I was really looking forward to that. Quite a lot of people were dressed up - but the most shocking thing of all - most of the americans didn't dress up at all.

Well, yesterday there was another party at the campus but I didn't stay too long. Before the party, Jonathan, Elisabeth and her brother (he's visiting her) came to me and we were sitting together talking in my room - it was really nice and interesting because we had a really good conversation. Around 11 p.m we went to the party, decided that it's not good, and went home around 12. I met Sofia and Andreas in the kitchen - what really surprised me, because usually both of them party all night long. Not this time. They didn't like it at the party (so I wasn't the only one ;) ). We ended up talking and eating for quite a while. It was the perfect ending of the day, in my opinion :)


So, basically that's everything that has happened in the last few days. Boring, isn't it ;)
Oh, some random information - I booked my flight home (so everybody who wants to meet me or go on holidays to avoid meeting me ;) - I'll be back home on the 19th of December, but will most likely go to Salzburg on the 20th - just for 1 day ).
More random stuff - I started baking again! (I used to bake quite a lot when I was younger)
I baked bread last week - why? Well, I made some "Kaiserschmarrn" for an international dinner we had - 16 people from 9 nations - everybody prepared a meal from his/her country - it was delicious ;) However, making the Kaiserschmarrn got me in the mood for baking. So I baked bread some days later...and today I baked even more bread and muffins. Probably I quit studying and become a Baker instead ;) just kidding.

That's it for now...feel free to contact me if you want to share some stories or some recipes ;)
