#Out Last post on this blog

Dear All my Non-Existent Blog Readers,

You might noticed I didn't publish any posts for a long time, I cannot bring up any serious reasons, besides that I am tired, and not inspired much to write since. As long as a few months pasted, I won't be able to catch up with the posts I missed out already, so I am just going to give you a sum up about the past weeks and so. As you've already found out form the title I'm not willing to continue this blog anymore, so you could count this post as a "goodbye fellas!" post. However I might willing to blog sometime later in different topics, in different style in other blogs.
So let's see what happend since the mid October. Around the end of the month, I've been happy owning a bike and across my happiness I felt on the slippery, leaves covered road and been lucky enough to broke my left elbow! the best possible point in my arm... I still struggle to touch my shoulder with my hand, however as I read after it, it can take upto 3 months to recover totally, till then I am waiting for that minute to come! So well, after the accident I made some phone calls and went straight to the hospital on my bike (yes! on my bike!), and within a few days I had a surgery, I got a cast on for 3-4 weeks, and now it is still recovering... But anyway it didn't stop me to go and visit my Slovakian friend in Vilnius, Lithuania even that I had my cast on. And I have no prolems on the way from Billund airport, Denmark, just there was a funny situation when we went in a basketball game, the security guy was checking it out if it's real or not and laughing with the colleagues. I even survived the ESN Sea Battle boat trip. :) Then I've been keep doing the cakes for the Tobbers coffee bar with some ups and downs, since I don't know why, maybe the materials, my patience or whatever was the reason why they not always happend to be in the best condition when served. At the end of November my mum came to visit me as well, so we went to Coppenhagen together and spent some time around the city walking and enjoying our time.
At the begining of December I finally got rid of the cast, however the doctor didn't suggest any practices to do so, to get my arm/elbow back to normal use, just suggested to do not lift heavy stuff and do not lean on it, and try to use it as its normal. Great! However I still have a material in it, to make it "better", but since a few weeks, I feel like it's very annoying, and prevents me to do some movements and when I hit it, I can feel it for a long looooong time. In the middle of the month I went to visit my Lithuanian friends in Belgium! YES! Back to Belgium for a few days, however I didn't visit my "home town" and my college there, but I enjoyed my time in Brugge with my friends, and we also visited Brussels and checked out the Christmas market, it was so nice to see it with all the lights and stuff. And I spent the Christmas here in Denmark, and I'll spend my New Year's Eve, too.
While at school we had some projects to do, we had no more classes from November, only projects, we've been working on the elective project from day #1 in November till the last week and we got a good grade 10 out of 12 (in a 7 sccale system). And right after we had to start working on the second semester projecct, we did it with the same group, and we finished with most of the work before the holidays started, just need to finish up and send it till the deadline. And what's coming after? Well, that's a good question, we'll have an individual exam at the end of January and then or even before we have to start our internship which have to last for 3 months. My plan is the following, I'll go back home for a few days in January to get some paper work done, see my family and friends etc. Then if I don't get any better options, I'll head to Portugal to have my internship at the end of the month. Hopefully it will work out well, and I'll be able to make my final exam before the 20th of June, so I could go back to Camp Wing, in US for the summer, to earn some money, and explore the west coast! If not, we'll see, but anyway it would be the topic of this blog.
So after all this, I will not continue this blog, but if you are looking for some data about how's life in Deanmark or Belgium, what are the cost of living in Denmark or Belgium, you can still find the excel sheets about it in the right side, and also you are welcome to read back any of the posts you are interested in. And no pictures here now, but here is my Instagram account which you can follow or just go through the pictures I uploaded and keep checking for where I'm traveling in the future and what makes me stay alive on our planet Earth.
I hope you all had a great Christmas holiday this year and I am wishing you a Happy New Year with full of adventures and with a lot of fun! I glad to had you as a reader, see you soon somewhere out in the (Sword of the) 'New' World.

Best wishes, XOX:

#28 Last week before Fall Break

This week was pretty moving, on Monday I made some cheesecake bites for the class as my "birthday present" and we also finished with the last round of Globstrat, and it seems like we were very good, also we were in leading position during the whole game, our CSR and shared value were always on the top.
Thursday was so full, I had a meeting as a class representative, and after classes we were working on the Globstrat presentation, I also had Danish classes where one of the classmates brought some cakes, inspired by me, since I did the same last week for my birthday. And later at night there we had a class party, to have some fun with the classmates just before our holiday starts, it was pretty good, however most of the classmates were not present, but the few of us who were there we had much fun and we finished around 5 am. :D We didn't have school next day, so it wasn't a problem at all, however on the next few days, I did nothing special. On Sunday we made a big shopping with Szili and also had lunch at the Burger King, and that was it.

#27 Birthday

The begining of the week was a bit boring, nothing special happend, just school and stuff... On Thursday I had Danish class, too, and I surprised my group with a lactose free strawberry oreo cheesecake! :D I made it lactose free, because one of my classmates is intolerante with lactose, so I didn't want her to stay with an empty hand, and it was also the trial for Charlotte's birthday cake, which has to be lactose free, too. On my birthday, I had lunch with Szili at Tobber's and later I skyped with my family there till they closed. Later on I went to the English Pub to drink a "birthday beer".
During the week we tried to solve the internet problem, but we had to posponed it to next week, and since we didn't have internet at home, that's why I didn't made any posts for the blog...

We had so much fun this week, we had to make the decisions for globstrat at the begining and later with the same group we had the theme 6 assesment to do. Which was about to make a video presentation of a sale's speache. Thursday was the day when we started to work on it, to make the script for it and on Friday we were making the video. That part was pretty funny, we made a lot of records till we made the final version and send it to the teachers. As long as the group memeber didn't want it to be public, I won't share the link of video here, sorry. :(
I also made some cakes during the week for the coffee bar, and I took some pictures about them at the "showroom".
On the top you cna see the Nutella cheesecake and on the 2nd from the bottom there is the oreo cheesecake. =)

#25 Few days back to Hungary

This week passed with a lot of happening compressed in a few days. Monday I've just gone to school, had my classes and also joined the chinese course, since I won't be there on Wednesday. I made 2 cheesecakes each day while I was in Denmark for the coffee shop, while on Monday night I packed up to be ready to fly home on the next day. During the middle of the day on Tuesday, I left school and went to the airport by bus and then checked in and wait for the gate to open and departure. I got home for the night, I met my mother at the train station and we went to do some shopping before going home. On the next day I went in Budapest to change some money and order my new glasses to be ready until Friday, before I fly back to Denmark. Afterwards I had some time to pass, so I was looking for shoes, since my old ones were in really bad conditions. During that time I met Nóri who with I went to Belgium for Erasmus! We talked about how it's going and what are we doing now etc. Then I had to head back to the college to do some paperwork for the actual semester. In the college I also met some ex classmate and talked with some professors as well. Afterwards I went to the hotel where I had my internship, just to check on them. :) Later the day I had dinner with my brother and met with my friends from college. We had some time talking and drinking before we went together to meet some friends from the summer camp. Then I've just caught the last train to get back home.
During the next day I was all the day at my hometown, went to the hairdresser and did some shopping. On Friday I went to Budapest again, to get my new glasses and take a little cheesecake to the hotel and to my friends, while I was meeting with one of my best friends too, and spent some time together. When I got back to Érd, I met with another friend who I didn't see for a long time, he drove me home and spent some time talking and so.
On Saturday early morning my mother took me to the airport to catch my flight and head back to Denmark, where I had wait a lot for my bus to get back to Kolding around noon. I had some rest and took walk in the city center at the market and also checked on the coffee shop and did a small shopping, while on Sunday I tried to catch up with all the stuff I missed while I was at home.
Hopefully I'll catch up with the spending sheet and uploading pictures soon.

#24 Theme 5 ended

This week we had some long days in school, as we were finishing theme 5 and we ahd to make a presentation about a case at the end of the week. On Monday we had finished with the practice rounds of globstart and started the real game, however the 1st round will end only next Monday... On Tuesday we had some introduction about the internship, what we could expect and how we should do it for our own goods. I also had danish class during the afternoon, and since it was really hot inside the classroom for the last half hour we went down to the garden and we played an activity game with danish verbs outside. =) On Wednesday, I had a really long day at school, I also had chinese and actually we started to learn some words, not only about the cultural differences between Europe and Asia, and also got know some new people. :) During the evenging I made my "demo" cake for the coffee shop to take it there next day. So we started our day at Tobber's with Szilveszter to present my cake and give it a taste with the owner, then I headed to the spanish residence to work on our project for the next day. We working on it all day from 10 AM to 5 PM with some small breaks, afterwards I went for danish classes and as I finished there I went back to Tobber's to check on how the business is going with the cake, and it was all gone! =) Moreover they got some orders on what else I could make for the next time and I might get a job for the time I'll be here. :) These are pretty great news! On Friday we present our work in school, I think we made a pretty good job, however the teachers didn't give us such a good feedback, but we passed! :) During the afternoon we went to Tobber's with Szilveszter to talk about to possibilities in the cake business, and later on the afternoon I went to Bar' sushi with some 1st semester students to grab a great deal and spend some time together.
During the weekend I've did some cleaning, prepared some food and tested out a new cheesecake with oreo. And also I packed for my trip home and made two cakes ready for Monday morning.
As always you can follow my spending here for the week.

#23 Back to learning languages intesively

Back to school again, and time to start learning languages! There was nothing crazy this week at school, besides that on Tuesday I went for danish and got a book and got know how much I need to catch up with, since they've already started at the begining of August. And since there was a chance to start learn chinese for free as well at the IBA, I joined one course which runs on Wednesdays. This week, there was an introduction only, and it seems like it's more about the business and the culture and way less language, but maybe just because of the introduction, we'll see how it'll go later.
On Wednesday with my group, we also made the first decisions for globstrat and just before the Chinese class started I practiced a little spanish with one of my classmates, who is, no surprise, from Spain. :) Thursday I had danish class again when we had a little test, just to see how the modul tests are done, to practice as we could do one in February.
Friday, there was the fresher day for the new students, later at the evening I also joined to the party with 3 of my classmates and some friends of them. It was really nice, and it was good to see that there are so many new students and they oranized a good party for them, nor like for us in February while they had a little bit harder time, since we were far less.
On Saturday we decided to have lunch outside and we walked a little in the city, since we had a nice weather. We were aiming to eat some pizza, but it turned out they are closed for "pause" at the time when we got there, so instead we went to the Budapest Restaurant and eat some burgers and a pizza. Afterwards we went to Szilveszter's place and we sat in and talked with the owner of the coffee shop, we spent quite some time there, I really appriciate these talks. =)
I also wrote my spending in a list like I did the previous semester, however I have only my side of spending yet, without dividing it, we still figuring out how it will work later on... Anyway you cna check it here for the past weeks.
