First day at Sundsvall


This morning Inga brought Basti and me to the centralstation. Thanks she did, because it was raining a lot! The streets were flooted. Sebastian and me waited 20 minutes, until the train entered the station and left it at 5:05 in the morning. At 7:15 left we the train and walked to the university, where we had an introduction meeting. After the meeting, we had a tourist tour by bus for one hour, but almost nobody listened to it, because everyone just finally wanted to put his luggage in his accomodation. At 14 o'clock we arrived at Nacksta and ~50 people tried to get their keys at once. Thanks to the others i was one of the first, because i had to be back at 15 o'clock at the university for another introduction meeting. So Sebastian and i left our luggage at the appartment and went to university, but after a few hundred meters it began to rain heavily and we became totally wet. This was not nice organzied. They should have canceld the bustour, because we had to hurry to find our first walk to the university from Nacksta and it was raining all the time. We reached the meeting 15 minutes too late and totally wet. The meeting was nice, but useless for us, because we are no Free Movers but Exchange Students. After 2 hours the meeting ended with the result, that we have to come to the office personally. And i was so cold because of the rain...
After having seen the accomodations at Härnösand and Östersund Nacksta is quite frustrating. The appartment ist huge, but it's not nice, yet. And it is far more expensive than the other locations. And the worst of all: it's not dirty, but it is not renovated! So why did we have to wait until today??? Unbelievable.

I will survive

Wow. I did it! I survived surströmming! At least it tastes better than it smells, but that's not difficult. I don't need that taste again in my life. Bäh.... But from the beginning: they day started with practicing for the surströmming-party. My group trained a pantomimic performance. Every group had to present their results from their surströmming-investigation. The first group presented a Talk-Show, the second was my own group, the third had a very funny surströming-commercial performance, the fourth has covered the beautiful song " Vem vet " (engl.: Who knows) to " Vem äter " (engl.: Who eats) and the last made a TV-Show. It was a great fun. After the introduction we were seperated into groups again to prepare the party. I decided to help the entertainmentgroup. We exercised a song, almost one hour. After that, Nicola and i decided to make a few scetches as serving couple. Because of this we went back to the hostel to change our dress, but when we returne...

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...
