Wrap it up~ =9

^^ I have this delicious wrap recipe!! =9
My mum made this a few months ago, and I want to share it with you, because it was super delicious!! =D

What you need have:
Food:
~♥ Wraps (as many as you wish)
~♥ Smoked salmon (slices)
~♥ Garlic butter, or cream cheese with herbs/garlic
~♥ Cucumber
~♥ Roasted pine nuts
~♥ Green pesto

Utensils:
~♥ Flat cooking pan
~♥ Knive to cut the cucumber
~♥ Flat plate to cut on
~♥ Spoons for the garlic butter, pesto and (if you need to) the pine nuts

What you need to do:
Preparation:
1) Get every ingredient / utensil steady! xP
2) Cut the salmon in slices (if that's not been done already).
3) Cut the cucumber horizontally, so that long strips are formed. Cut these so that strips of about 10 centimeter (4 inches) are formed. Whether you peel the skin off first, later or not, that's up to you! ;)

Wrap it up~:
1) Warm the wraps in the flat pan for a few seconds so they are nicely warm.
2) Put some garlic butter (or cream cheese) on the wrap. No need to be modest about the amount, just put it on! ;)
3) Put one or two slices of smoked salmon on it.
4) Add two strips of cucumber to it.
5) Spread 3 tea spoons of green pesto on the wrap.
6) Decorate the wrap with roasted pine nuts and wrap it up! =)

Have a nice meal! =D

First party as a "University Student" ^-^

Haha! Tonight's going to be my first real party as a university student!
I don't know why that feels like something big, but I just wanted to blog about it.

So, here's the situation: I'm sitting in my room now, about to pack my bag. At 9:15 PM I've agreed with a friend to meet, so we can dump my stuff at her place and head to the party. =) The party in question is a birthday party of two guys from our study association. Almost 60 people are going to come to the party! x) It's crazy!!

I'll see lots of friends I made at the Tanuki camp again! It's going to be very nice, I think! (I don't know the right word for it; "nice" seems inferior, "great" sounds sarcastic, "fantastic" sounds fake, if not sarcastic as well...). The party will be held until 5:00 AM! I don't think I'll stay right to the end, though. I know I can, but it's just too late. xP Anyway, got to pack my bag now!

Oh, about getting drunk... I won't! x) Never been either! ^^ But maybe I'll have a little something, not beer thought, I find that nasty...

Last day of my internship!

Yesterday was the 'go away party' of my internship!
After 3 months of inspiring work, the time has come to start a new chapter in my life...
Goodbye WOVOX (the company I had my internship at), goodbye MIC, goodbye Higher Education...

...but: Hello University, hello Koreastudies!

Anyway, to get back to the thing I wanted to talk about.
Besides my goodbye party, it was also the co-founder's birthday yesterday. He wasn't present that day, but we were going to do a lipdub for his birthday...
I had no idea what a lipdub was either, but I'll explain it now.
The point in a lipdub is that you do what the lyrics say and you lipsync along with it.

Example: the lyrics are 'I love you'. You make a heart sign and pretend to sing 'I love you' xP

Here's our lipdub clip! =P

Ah, by the way, it's me with the big 'we celebrate'-canvas with ducklings on it! =)

Introduction of my new study!

Today I went to my new study's introduction day!! =D
As you may already know, I switched studies and my new study is "Korean studies".
Shortly explained: I'll learn the Korean language, the culture, the history, the literature and the traditions.

On Tanuki (that's the study association) camp I already got to know 3 Korean students (we were the only 4 that attended the camp).
Today I found out we're with 22 in total, of which I have already befriended 5. =)
The other 3/4 of my classmates I haven't spoken to, because there was no time at all to get to know them.

During the introduction day (which was actually an introduction hour) our 5 teachers introduced themselves and explained what the first semester was going to bring us. They answered questions we had and gave us info about our schedule. One of our teachers is a native speaker and I really look forward to the language lessons!! =D

And the most amazing thing I heard today? We (the whole class, so all 22 Korean students) are going to Korea for half a year, in our sophomore year!!! =^-^=
This is going to be AWESOME!
