Homework Day

Today I did all of my homework that is due next week, so that means I can travel the rest of winter break! Except, I have to read a book for my Women and Children's Rights class and write a one page reflection paper, but I figure I can read it on the train rides to different places. I decided to attempt making the macaroni and cheese again, but when I was getting everything out and ready to make it, I realized I didn't have any half and half and because it's Sunday no stores are open. So I had to search for a different recipe and luckily I found one where I actually had all of the ingredients and it turned out really good! Natalie even tried making a new recipe, but her's was rice with shrimp, apples, and sweet and sour sauce. She kept offering for me to try some if I wanted, but of course I declined. I also had some skole brød, which translates to school bread, it is a traditional Norwegian treat that many school kids buy on their way to school, hence the name. It is a huge bun with a lemon? filling and some coconut shavings on top, which I don't like coconut except on this. After we had finished eating and cleaned up the kitchen we both went to our bedrooms to watch videos for our classes. The first one I had to watch was a documentary called The N Word and then I had to watch an episode of Lie to Me. I'm surprised I hadn't discovered the show Lie to Me yet because that is my kind of show. I actually watched quite a few episodes before I even wrote my reflection paper about it. This really isn't a good thing that I found another show to watch when I have way too many already and especially when season 3 of House of Cards is being released in two weeks, which I will most likely watch the entire season within a couple of days. Anyway, tomorrow I think I'm going to go to Halden for the day and maybe have choir practice tomorrow night, I'm not sure if we have it or not.

This is skole brød.
