Long November

This month I'm going to write twice because November is sooo long. It's dark and hours pass slowly. Which, let´s see the positive side, when I´m not sleeping I can write in my Thesis. I´ve advanced a lot :D. But yes, I´ve been a bit sick, throat pain, which is booring and I take medicine that gives me hallucinations... No, well, it's not that bad. And Uppsala is shining, literally, this year they decorated all our street with lights, when I saw them I had a deja vu, I thought "Uppsala in Fallas", or Christmas (judge from the picture). And this weekend was the first Advent, I'm learning the festivities after some years! Yes, this is the time when you compete in hanging a biggest star than your neighbor (ok, yes, this is just my interpretation). But I was really excited because not only we got the street decoration but also fireworks yeah, exactly like Fallas but no... We went up to the castle with thousands of children to see the fireworks but they were cancelled. And here is not like in Valencia, that have fireworks every other week, no, you miss that one and you are done, no more fireworks until next year, I totally understand the kid´s disappointment. But we are going to Hong Kong and I bet they'll have some, as they share the Valencia's fascination for fireworks and rice (or probably Valencia shares it from them). Anyway, by the end of the Advent's day instead of fireworks we got the first snow, and that was a very much waited snow, in the right time, sure beautiful, although enough for me (sorry guys).
So it turned out that we were quite a bit at home and I started experimenting with food. I made my first cookies (I'm realizing my blog sounds like written by a five year old) (although a very smart one). I gave some to my friend Vanda and I told her "you know, they don't look very good.." (which of course they didn't) "and probably don't taste so good either" BUT YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THEM!! Now that's friendship, isn't it? She´s a bit picky with food so that made it more fun "So, you know, that I didn´t like them doesn't mean that you won´t like them". Of course, she never tried them :D. Now, wait for the other one, Claudi, "what is that, some kind of scrambled egg thing?" but she wanted to try them!! Anyway, it's not that I'm mean with my friends, it´s just the virus. The same one that made the cookies. And now, time to put the trashy Christmas tree at work! (I've got to upload that one later...)
