Time to say good bye

This was the hardest day of the whole course. I would have liked to eat one year surströmming instead of seeing the course ending.

But the day started with an "Top of the pops" på svenska, where we voted for our most beloved swedish songs. But first Hans song "Weine nicht kleine Eva" from the german "Flippers", because we told him a week before "Sommaren är kort" would sound like a Flippers-Song.
For lunch we got some real good swedish food, far better than surströmming. And after the lunch, the highlight of the program started: our suprise for Ella, Hans and Björn. First the song "Zehn nackte Friseusen" was teached and song in EILC-style, followed by a funny sock-thearter. Second, an usual day at the course was adapted. Third, Seb covered Chuck Berry's "Dingeling" gratly to "Learning"! After that, Martin and Nicola had a grate sketch with teaching Ella, Hans and Björn the Muppet song "Mana-Mana". The following german, tjeck, italian and portuguese tonguetwister were also funny. But the last performance was a spoken "Good bye"-letter for Ella, Hans and Björn. It was a realy hard thing to stand it. At least erveryone got a huge hug and than it was over. Three weeks EILC are gone. Over. Never ever again. Aldrig nånsin en gång till.

I already saw the rooms for the students of Härnösand. They are nice, and the architecture of the building is new to me again. All in all, the swedish inner architecture is very open and nice. I hope, i will like my accomodation in Sundsvall, too. But it will be much more expensive than the rooms in Härnösand. The rooms cost each ~160 €, my room in Sundsvall will be up to 270 €.

At the end of the day, we had a big party at the hostel. I did not see the end of the party, but i heard, that our silent-shy teacher-assistant Björn had some "scary" performances.

That was the EILC 2006; the TILLSAMMANS - group.

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

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

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
