On Wednesday I turned a page. I was half awake when my parents called me and sang "en hyllning här bringar..." . I thanked and said bye and lied in my bed. I got up and started opening my big package present from Germany, by birthaday present. I was overwhelmed and excited. I knew what was inside but not exactly all. It was a sound recording system including a soundcard, mixer, headphones, keyboard and a mic. I started setting up the system immediately and was ready 23.30 p.m. I had my first very bad experiences with Mac. I had to install an old driver for my soundcard, because the latest update didn´t support the card, although it should have done that. At 2 p.m. I jogged to Bairn Street for fetching a package, sent by my parents. I ran back through places I wouldn´t like to visit late in the night. I came home. And continued my computing. I spent about 5 hours in front of the computer to sort the issue. I was very satisfied with myself when it finally was done. In the evening I talked with Seyi. She gave me a book and wondered why I didn´t answer on the phone. I had not heard the phone. That was my birthday.
On Thursday I read an article before the International Law and problems of the contemporary world order. We had a discussion in class. I performed awfully and was angry with myself. So when the time was for criticism I said my performance was by far the worst of that day. The reaction in the class very interesting. Everyone was like no and they tought I was crazy saying what I said.
I walked to the library after the lecture and returned some books that were late. I walked home and stayed home that night and made music with my new system. Nothing very good.
Friday was a very interesting day. I woke up around 9:30, maybe. Actually I don´t have the slightest clue. I ate dinner and coresponded with my mother for receipies for todays birthday dinner. I called her as well. Then me and Marco walked to Lidl and bought the ingredients for our menu: Seafood Pasta(Seafood this time only prawns), Karjalan paisti(Finnish meat dish), and cake. We carried the food home. I continued to Byres Road and bought 8 glasses, baking powder, chocolate, and some cooking utensils. I hurried back. I made an omelett with cheese and tomatoes. After eating, 4 p.m., I started prepearing for the dinner. I made the cake mixture, put it in the owen, burn it a bit in the corners and took it out. Me and Fernando started chopping meats, vegetables and potatoes for an hour. I fried the pork and beef meat and put it in a saucepan for simmering for 2 hours, with onions and spices. I started decorating the cake by covering it in whipped cream and placing peaches on it and a thin layer of chocolate crumb and then in the fridge. Marco came home and made an salad. Andrea had earlier made the prawn sauce. The vegatebles and potatoes were put in the owen and we changed clothes. The first guests arrived at 8. We had trouble getting the pasta waterboiling because the saucepan was big and thin. It was ready around 8:45. We had a small problem, the starter was not ready, but the main dish was. We ate the pasta. It was ok. Then we continued with the Karjalan paisti. Everyone thought it was excellent. Italians said it tasted Italian and French said it tasted French. So I guess always when food is good people think it resembles with something that is from their food culture. We had seven bottles of wine. We had bough 4 and 3 were brought. We ate sallad as well and more Karjalan paisti. When we were ready Seyi and her flatmate arrived. I put some more potatoes and vegetables in the oven for them. I served them and brought the cake to the table. It was much appreciated and everything was eaten. One Italian girl said I haven´t eaten meat for 3 weeks because I don´t know how to cook it. And some other girls ate as if they hadn´t had proper food for months for ages.
After the dinner we moved the table and danced to Guns and Roses, The Doors and AC DC. At 2 a.m. I served to tea to two girls still here. At 3 clock the last guests left and I fell asleep at 4. It was originally ment to be a dinner arranged for me but was actually a dinner arraged by me with the help of the others. I dont mind.
On Saturday I did the washing up. It was a lot. I studied and watched the first half of Scotland Italy. The Islay Inn was packed with men watching football. I had enough in 45 mins and walked home. I studied and slept at the same time and now I´m sitting here.
