The first week is over! And i already had my first lessons. My first lesson was "Decision Theory", where i had to calculate, if a swedish tourist should by a wooden camel in Sri Lanka risking it would broke on his way back to europe or if he should save his money risking being robbed. Sounds funny, but it is serious. At the Decision Theory lesson only 8 sweds, one dutch and i are participating.
I also had my first swedish lesson for foreign students. It's interesting to see the other new students trying their first words in swedish. I cannot remeber my own beginnings anymore. This course is more international than the EILC, we have people from USA, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, China etc.
Wednesday evening there was a welcome party at the Kårhuset. It's a house only for students having several partyroom. It's a big house, so you can have different parties at one time. The welcome party was nice, but i got home even on midnight. The music was not what i would like to hear all night long. Not one single guitar. So, Timo and Hendrik, EILC participants from last year (FH Osnabrück, Germany), gave me a lift back to Nacksta. You can see some pictures of the evening at Phils hompage.
After the wet beginning the weather was just great on Thursday. Blue sky everywhere and a warm sun. So i used this opportunity to give you an imagination of my view from my balcony. As you can see, i am looking direktly to the sea... it's just a 40 minutes walk.
Today the weather started wet and cloudy, but in the afternoon the clouds disappeared and we had again nice weather. But the wind is very cold. You can feel that autumn is coming.
Nevertheless Phil, Ulrich and i got to IKEA to buy stuff for or appartmens. But as always: even as a man you cannot rush into IKEA, take the things you want und get out of sight. We needed the whole afternoon. But i was strong... only a bought a carpet additional to the things i really wanted to buy.
This night it's full moon, so i took a picture showing moon and Sundsvall at 9 o'clock in the evening.
