New year

Haha, sorry~ I didn’t notice I had wrote in Swedish.
Now you saw how tired I am. Not much to tell about my
free day. Just studied and draw some.

So there is just one more time to go to the kitchen now
and prepare. There is so little people her so I'm
not sure we even have to do anything, but will see~

Oh Well, Happy dragon year!
Especially for my own little dragon back in Sweden~!

See you bunny after 12 years~

3 work day

Whaa, hard day, bad sleep.
Got my self some coffee and it went better.
My body hurst, but tomorrow is a break
so I hope my body gets better.

I really know this is not a work for me later
in life, but it's really good now.

Lots of snow!

2 work day

I got a little bit depress yester day. I think because 2 reasons.
I have never expired a job before and I where so tired.

To much new stuff and a languish I'm not so good at. Our first really work day was a pain, but I think it was because we went up to early. Today we got more sleep so feel a bit easier.

Been exploring a bit outside. Not much walk friendly ground. I forgot how slippery it can be when it’s cold and snowy.

Got easer to do stuff today and enjoyed onsen after work. There's not much girls here so I got to enjoy it much alone. Just feel so relaxed and calm.

I really like this place.

So what I’m a doing?
Well, depending on day. It’s like; start about 6 or 9 (the leader choose).
If we go up 6 there is breakfast to serve, we get to eat breakfast while the guest are eating, and the lots of dish to wash. Around 9 more people will come and to take over for a while. We get to rest until dinner time. Around 12 there are lunch to serve, eat while the guests are eating, clean up, rest and then the same for the last meal around 6. Around 9 everything is done. Sounds easy – well it really takes your energy.

1 day!

Ok, first day at the work! Sleept bad but are ready for work! 05.55!
No one else in the kitchen exept Fredrik and me. Something's wrong.. 06.15, the one I will call leader got to the kitchen. We dident start work until 9.30. Some breakfust at 9.00. So, back for some rest.. I'm glad we don't even have 1min from the work to our rooms.

Christmas

Wha, what a strange christmas.

Went to a great party on friday, so where really tired at sutarday, but, I had to fix some last stuff. I cud calibrate my chrismass about seven o’clock. Just myself, had a small fever so I didn’t even want to look outside.

On the night it was snowing, an interesting christmas present.

But, didn’t really matter, cause now Fredrik and I have went to the skii hotel to work. Kinda just sitting and waiting for lunch 6 o’clock. Except some strange stains on the wall I got a really nice place to live in. Really a classic japanese style room. Funny part is, I have been here for a year, but never had a traditional room.

Still a bit worried about the languish.. I know I have to learn, but still don’t want to mess up..

Winter break

So today was the last school day. Just had a small christmass party.
Eating a lots of candy and food. I'm going to get fat this winter :P

To much candy~

Today I even got forced to turn the ac on, got so cold that I culdent move.

Got an idea of a character I just had to sketch it up. Been thinking about a long time now. My style cloth style is pure black and white so I wanted to designee a character that’s just black and white. She's actually a small little animal that can turn into a human~ Going to work with her more when I got time.

I got it

Got up early to see if my packet would come. I wasn’t sure about the time, so I went up 9 and waited to 10. Got sad, nothing today ether? Instead I got that wonderful pain girls get 1 time every month. Got some more rest hoping the pain would go down before school. Searsly we have to get a pain that makes you sometimes crazy and give birth!
This is the reason some girls always gonna scream about the "unfair world with men".

Suddenly the door bell. PleasePleasePlease!
Fighted me up for the door. My packet arrived!

Got so happy!

Nuts,candy,cookies and under all that I find a little Santa doll.

YAY!I... have to much candy....And I thought I where going to have to little to make a christmas feeling. That's definitely not a problem any more. My chai tea really helps me get the smell of swedish christmas to. I'm happy, I'm going to eat and rest on christmas (swedish is 24) and then go for work 25th.

Much to do before that tho; buy new warm cloths, pay all bills, pack and see so I have nothing that will mould while I'm gone.

Cold!

Gah so cold! Think the coldest day yet. Need to get warm fast so I can study. I really want to do good in school the last week. At the list with new classes I where put in the normal class. Made me sigh a bit, i really want to get better now!

I have got much better, but still...
People here there I live have started to say "welcome home" to me, but my brain always stops, gets nervous and don't understand a single word. Until I realise when it's to late, just want to hit the head in the wall hard.

Tho one of our teachers wanted me to be in morning class. Got so surprised. I know my grade got higher then before ( Tokyo - 20, Ueda -89), but still, would it be enough to be in the morning class? The one next to me had 100/100 last test.

Well guess I just have to study hard when I get time over from work.

I love fire... but maybe not in my house..and.. not the size of a big rice bowl.

Shit! Fire! What too do? Put it in the sink? Throw it outside? Put a blanket over it?

I'm not going to be the reason for a disasters!

So.. sat down so I got the same high as the fire.. and blow carefully. First reaction. Can't believe it work(ok with candle size). Hurried to close to the fire alarm and open up to get the smoke out.

I noticed it works to toast bread in the little fish grill. Just let them be some seconds and turn them around, let some pass again, and you have perfect toasted bread. Tho my seconds turned to minutes. I had luck that I noticed the fire so fast, it cud had end really bad. Never toast with the fish grill and do other things at the same time again.

After some food I decided to decorate my chocolate house. When I atlas where done, it broke. Got sad and just wanted to eat it all up, but it made me more sad you just let all work be a waste. So I took my lighter and started to try to put it together again. Broke once more before I had it done.

Happy with the result~
Not the best but not in pices.

1 week left

So sitting and wonder all the time; where to start tell about stuff that happen since I came to Ueda. Always end up just sitting and thinking with no update.
So decided to start write about days from now instead.

I where looking for a store named Donky. One of my favourite stores, so much fun stuff to find.

Tho, when I tried to find the one here in Ueda I suddenly find something else that reminded me of Donky, but a little bit better. Donky is mixed with fun unnecessary stuff to normal kitchen stuff, but this other store had more fun designee stuff.

From warm cloths to funny candy :)
Bought me a chocolate house. What? I don’t get any ginger house, then I shall have a chocolate house! Hehe.

Plans for Christmas? No. I where thinking about invite friends, cook good food and just have a nice time. But that needs planning! I really lost energy to do anything special.
I didn’t get the job my teachers had for me, but she got fast another. Same work, just another hotel. Got really worried..

So well, I'm starting 25th and are going to share room with some girls. Hate sharing room. Can't complain, get food and the room for free, so I just have to deal with it.

To morrow I will go and get my packet from home. Exited, been longing to get it. Would be happy to get it in my hands even if there are smelly socks in like my dad told me ;)

A christmass card frome home and my chocholat house.
Trying to think out a good candy designe on it.

So much to tell so little time

Whaaa, long time no see~

The internet plans didn’t go as planned, but now atlas I have it! So happy, and so broke! Just because I didn’t have internet to check my money, I really lost my money control. My family’s computer is even broken so I get a bit hard to get time to talk with them, hopefully I wouldn’t need to lend from them tho.

I got an job for the winter break. Makes me so happy, first time ever to have a job. Will go to a ski hotel and clean and serve some food for the guests. I get a free room, food and time over to ski for free, but I think I just will go around and take photos. Long time since I saw snow now.

I'm so happy I went to Ueda. My japanese is improving big time and I experience so much. One of my absolute best memories yet is when we went to see the fireworks in Nagano. Japan don't have fireworks at new year, so I want to enjoy it when ever I can. We got a perfect place to sit on (we even laid down)and we where so close. It was impossible to get everything in the camera when I tried to take photos, to close. With festival candy and surrounded by friends I hoped that the night would never end.

Instead of putting up 10000 of pictures, will I load up a movie~

Until then, enjoy this~ and some pictures
