It's been very cold lately. Still making clouds by just berating. I don't even use my fridge anymore. I happened to heat up the butter by putting it on the kotatsu. Moved it next to me instead and after some min, it was cold again. Tho on the days it's nice. The sun shows often up and warm a bit. I decided to talk a small walk today. I miss a bit to smell the sea in the air.

At last, I took some photos of the temple I alweys see on the wey home.

Snow~

Haven't been in a writing mood. But it's not like there always is an exiting day here and not everything you can share over internet even if I want to.

Longing for spring to come. Enjoy all the sakura.

The study is a bit of a pain. Study hard, but I see no result, I made improvement but my class needs more. Often I get stressed on a test or a black out when the teachers is asking me something, so I can't even show that I'm studying. Humbug...

Today was once more a shock to open the door and see all that new snow. Unsure about taking the bike, I fell on the first meter. Half of me got covered in snow. Didn’t have the time to think about walking, so just up on the bike again. Even If I got nearly all snow off from me, teachers asked worried what happened.

Got a bit funnier to study with Yaya today, but we both where so tired that my kotatsu nearly made us fall asleep. Morning class is really good, tho, I never go to bed in time and it's often hard to get up when it's cold feel sick, then there is no fighting power at all to get up. (Yaya have work, so she nearly got time to sleep).

There will be some more hard time, but what’s waiting me makes it worth it.

I noticed this red car alweys stands there when it's been snowing or snow.

Morning class~

So back in Ueda for school.

I really thought I would be dead tired to have morning class, but it's actually ok and when class is over I still have the day on me to do stuff. Today I got a grade and a paper with my health, never got that in my old school in Tokyo. I got an A on grammar, surprising and at the same time irritating. The grammar we practise now is more polite form then normal talk..
Just because that I'm gonna be a cute unnecessary polite girl~desu!

Spelling is still a pain~tho gets easier to write when I learn the kanji for the word. I just have to learn the kanji first.

I have look up a school that seems interesting. Actually it kinda hit my face when I where reading the school magazine. Last page where about a design schools. I just random pick an address. Got really impressed and the course are really interesting, character design, cloth design etc..

If i got luck i have enough japanese to go to the school, waiting for more information.
So, while I'm waiting.. I'm trying to learn some kanjis.

About the work I had.
I cut my self 2 times (without notice it until I noticed blood), slip on the floor and hit my knee that I nearly had to make a serious operation at hospital, over slept 2 times..

A lovely first job experience.
No srs, I had fun, saw many faces and got my first pay.
(free onsen, moha)

Free food, but .. I'm really tired of rice .. rice for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner~ everyday...!
Gah..! At least I got the traditional japanese new year food~

Project Petit

So wanted to do a research on how much it would cost to have
an art gallery at my favourite place Designe fiesta. Just gave a big gasp.
¥33,600 for a small room in 1 week. Not ready for something like that..

But then I noticed "Art piece". ¥12,000 for a month. Feels better for the money
pocket. I so burning inside to start something to sell and share my works.

So, I'm going to work up a project, save money and the
try to see how I will end in Designe fiesta.

I think my black and white characters’ DaoDao and
Petit would be perfect for this project. They both are
very simple and clean.
Wish me god luck~

I would need it.. study and working on a comic at the same time

surronded by snow and ice~

To many days ending with early bed that the blog is out of my mind.
Once more I have a day off, but even with days of we have to go
to the kitchen special times to get food. I thought we were going to buy our
own on the day off. Oh well not sad over.

The older woman have now started to call me Sara chan. You use it to
younger cute girls, and when we talking about japanese cute, its
"stupid" that you get cute. So I will hear it until 9th.

I took a walk today, where such a nice wheatear so couldn’t resist.
So new photos and movies~

That's a really long icicle~!
I alweys have some outside the window,
and they scare me extreamlly when they
suddely fell.

Stop

Some people makes me so mad becuse they don't even try to understand
diffrent culture, diffrent way of thinking, or just complaining that nothing
in their life ever happens while they just sitting on their ases..

So I just want to stop everything for a while and share this with you.

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.
