A bit of my thoughts

Life is not a smooth path to walk on a starry night all alone

Just so random :P







gURL.comI took the "handwriting personality" quiz on gURL.com
my handwriting personality is...
jocular jotter

Your self-confidence and ability to laugh at yourself (you know you're a big dork but you like it) attract lots of admirers and once in a while you get in trouble for being too over-the-top. Read more...

What does your handwriting reveal about you?

D-test result!

I got a phone call from the teacher today, and she told me the scores on all parts. So here they are;
reading = 31/40
listening = 18/20
writing = G*
speaking = G
Total = G
In summer class i got VG**

I was so relieved that I passed all the parts. However, I was a bit disappointed on the reading part, but I knew that I didn't do so well. It was early in the morning, the night before the exam I cried. I woke up with a bit of headache, I had only a few bites of chocolate. So basically, I wasn't even ready for the exam lol When I got the reading papers, geeez I was a bit confused because I didn't know where to start!

The reading parts contained 2 separated papers, which are part A and part C. The C part was difficult because it concerned vocabulary, which I have seen only some of them. There was 1 word I knew I did choose the right answer; omedelbart. It means immediately in english and genast in swedish :D you know why? 'cos I saw it on a paper from a bank! The word was underlined so I learned that word since then!

Anyway, I'm happy that I passed the test I'd been worried about. Now It's time to focus on the upcoming class on monday. It's called SAS grundläggande, which means Swedish as a second language, fundamental. The course is basically for one who has passed D-test which is the last test on SFI: swedish for immigrants course. After the D-test, you can study and work at the same time since you have the transcript from SFI, which's been said that immigrants should get in order to work. On the other hand, some immigrants consider to work rather than finish their study. Some are satisfied, some regret. One of my classmate told me that it's better to finish SFI, then you can just work. Why? so your employers will know that you can actually communicate and understand swedish right, or if you wanna have a well-paid job.

Well, i'm out of what I wanna say right now, but hopefully that you guys will keep reading my blog :)

Note:
* G means godkänd in swedish, which means approved in english. I could only get G because there's only G or IG; not approved.
**VG means väl godkänd, which means well approved. It's the highest grade you can get.


Back to work :=)


There´s a couple of things I´d like to point out. First, I'm going to change the language from swedish to english, in that case, everyone can understand completely. Second, I'm not very good on keeping track with blogging so the dates between blogs are might be very different. Third, I miss ALL of my friends. No matter where you guys are; Thailand, the States, Australia, etc.

Anyway, some of you guys might have seen the pictures from Kvikkjokk trip on facebook, and some might not. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee the trip. Every once i awhile if you can go to a mountain and climb to the top, DO IT! It's really darn beautiful up there! I took a lot of pictures myself, and I think I might be good at doing that. So I'm thinking about studying photography when I have some time off. Well, I think I can work as a freelance? lol I don't know :P I'm gonna post some of my favorite photos here, some that I took myself :D

Today is very sunny outside, so I think I might go out and run for a bit. Though I don't wanna run alone, but I guess I should start doing that. Jon is coming back on 18th, so it's pretty boring when you have no one around, especially, one you see, talk to, go out with every single day. But I guess it's a good thing. A little some time off from each other will make us miss each other even more :P Last night I thought that it might be fun if we could go out to a restaurant or a movie once a month, like a date hehe so we wouldn't get bored of each other :P

En lite presentation om mig :) och dagens agenda

Jag är Jip och kommer från Bangkok. Nuförtiden studerar jag på SFI, men jag kommer att klara D-prov i augusti. Jag är bara 23 år och bor i Stockholm med min sambo. I augusti har jag bott i Sverige i ett år :D Det känns lite roligt eftersom jag inte har bott så länge någon annan stans än i Bangkok, så det är ganska coolt.

I alla fall, Idag är den sista dagen på sommarkursen! På måndag åker jag med Jon till Luleå och träffa hans familj, och då ska jag stanna där i två veckor. Det känns lite bättre nu för jag har studerat hela tiden, så nu är det dags för vila :)


Dagens plan är att skapa en blog sedan jag har skapat några, men de blev aldrig helt färdiga. Jag skulle vilja dela med mig av mina erfarenheter och perspektiv på livet. Jag är inte så duktig på svenska för jag kommer från Thailand, men jag hoppas att min svenska kommer att bli bättre och bättre eftersom jag vill bo här länge. På ett sätt är jag duktig på språket. Däremot har jag satt ribban jättehögt, och då är det samma som engelska.
