Chocolate Letter to my dad :)


11th of November is the pepero day in Korea and at the same time it was the day that my father was coming back from Korea. Therefore, I wanted to make the day special and went to a supermarket. However, I could not find pepero in the supermarket so I went to the other supermarket but still could not find it. In the end, I decided to buy chocolate instead of pepero. And as soon as I got back home. I started to make a special letter for him. I wrote a letter under the chocolate so that he would see the letter after eating them all. He liked it and I was satisfied.

Poster in front of the psychology room

 
In psychology class, we have studied about research methodology. After finishing this chapter, Mr Giddens asked us to make a poster so that he can put it on the wall in front of the psychology room. This poster focused on interviews and reflexivity. We, at first, read the text book and made a lay out. And secondly, we wrote the title and the information. Finally drew speech bubbles around the information. However, we couldn't finish the poster in one lesson. So, it took 2 psychology lessons to finish the poster. In the second lesson, to finish quicker, we only wrote the important information for variables in interviews and recording the interview but more detail for reflexivity. Then we started to decorate the poster. We have drawn speech bubbles for side information. So we wanted to draw differently in the middle. Then we came up with the idea of drawing a ribbon around the variables in interviews. So I drew a ribbon around the variables. However, it was not enough for us because of the under part. We almost ran out of time but in the end Sabina and Aina suggested to draw the tail of the ribbon. So we decided to draw the tail and finished the poster. We were all satisfied about the output that we have made.

Carbonara

I practiced making cream spaghetti many times to my family and there were a lot of mistakes and dissatisfaction. But at this time, I have made another Carbonara and I heard from my family that this one is the best one ever I have made so far. Moreover, I was also satisfied from what I made. From this experience I have realized some know-hows such as boiling cream much more after putting the noodle than I had done before, put the yolk of an egg to make the cream more sweeter. But still I thought that there should be more improvements. I thought that the bacon should have been softer. Next time I will be more careful to choose the bacon. I even promised that I will make it to my classmates when they come to my house. So I will practice more so that they will be satisfied as well.
