Fifth day at Härnösand

Today, our lesson started with a conference of a degree. Our group from "Boda Borg" got a diploma for winning the competition! It's the first diploma of my life! Yes!!!

After this short interruption we started a journey to the city. Karin told us a lot about Härnösand, but most of us were too tired to follow. Did you expect that Härnösand is the capital of this county "Västernorrland"? I ever thought Sundsvall would be, because it is much bigger than Härnösand.

We also visit the dome from Härnösand. Although it is very beautiful it just have the size of an ordinary church in Germany. Our following lessons was till "klockan fyra på dag" (4 o'clock at the day). And we have a lot of homework! Because of this i won't see much of sweden today.

Funny aspect: today all the swedes seemed to have ended their holidays, because suddenly the city was no longer a "ghostcity" as Elia mentioned. Perhaps they just run out of food in their tourist-hideouts ;-)

You can look at our journey through the city at EILC2006. Beware again for Hans' manipulations of the pictures. When he once took a photo today, i asked him for already having an idea for manipulating the picture like the photos from Boda Borg. He was just laughing, so take a look!

Back to the places you will be from

The last day in Sweden went pretty well. After the morning I was finished with everything I had to fix. I brought back all my books to the library, picked up my copies of my diploma thesis, picked up the last stuff from my office, said good bye to Aron, changed my address at the Skatteverket, canceled my bank account and was back at Nacksta before 2pm. At 7pm I've been at Norrmalms and helped Marlies and Annemiek baking appelflappen . But I was rather useless than an effective support. Especially at half past 7 when my last Friends episode in Sweden started. The last for me. Since 8 I was sitting in the basement waiting for people. I do not know exactly when, but I think the first arrived at 9. And it was really nice. And I got the nicest present I could imagine. Well, I could not imagine it before! It is a memory game with pictures of all student from last semester. No picture is twice, so the game is about finding two different pictures of the same person. It even has a box title...

Masked party and first time in Tornvillan

The last week was passing quickly. During the days I worked on my thesis. In the end it even made some fun. I am only rewriting it at the moment trying to get a link between all chapters and finish ideas that I had in early chapters but never mentioned later again. The evenings became a lot quieter than they have been only two weeks before. I already start thinking about what I pack into my luggage in a week and what I leave here. That is fun. However, imagine to leave this room in two days is sad somehow. During the week Peppo had the great idea for having a mask-party. Because our neighbours have small children we moved the party to the old party flat (former italian flat), since we never had any problems with the neighbours. Until now. Already after 11 the police aksed us to calm down, since the drunken old lady from 18b had complained about the noise. Strange. The party was really cool, but not as loud as the partys before, since nobody was singing. So, we moved already before midn...

Holidays

More and more students arrive at Nacksta. Now I know from 5 new students. There are likely more, but we do not know them, yet. Yesterday evening we made a short trip to the Irish Pub in Sundsvall for it was Ulrich last Wednesday in Sundsvall and for it was the first Wednesday for the new students. At the moment I have no daily routine. If am not out in this beautiful weather I try to work on my thesis. Somehow, I only find in the afternoon and in the evening the "flow". But tomorrow I will make a brake, because I go to holidays! Holidays? "What does HE wants with holidays?" you likely think. Well, it is a difference if you just have limited time and a bunch of amazing opportunities or if you just don't have to think about anything. Tomorrow, my train will leave at 12am from Sundsvall. On Sunday evening I will come back. In the meanwhile I will meet my family in Orsa and stay with them for 3 days. The picture is from my brother and his girlfriend yesterday eveni...
