You've got mail

Oh, i could not sleep this night. I stayed up until half past six in the morning, doing my homework for killing time. After that i slept until seven. But i wasn't tired! I went to school enthusiastically having done my homework in time (hopefully). I visited Jim at his office, asked him if would i hand him over my exercises in time and got the answer "It is enough if you give to me before the exam". Before the exam. The exam is 31th october. Well, i have not been able to sleep anyway. And he said "Now you have handed me over your exercise you don't even have to participate at the exercise-lecture today, because it's just practicing the exercises you have done already". Well, who needs to sleep anyway. But i went to class, because i had to wait for the library opening to bring back my short-loan-book. At class i met Marco, a dutch, again. I told him of my night, told him having done my homework and even more. His only comment was laughing and "You're fanatic".
Back at home i recieved two letters. The first was the bill for the rent of the appartment. The second was my swedish student ID card. Cool. A card. In sweden you need an extra bag for your cards. You have plastic cards for everything. I have my international student ID, my swedish student ID, an extra copy card for the library, a ordinary library card and an entrance card. And every card has i PIN, except the internation student ID. You have PINs everywhere. Every youth-hostel has a PIN pad at the doors. PINs are hunting me. Everytime i switch on my mobile phone become curious, because i have a new PIN (because of the new mobile phone card [another new card!!!]).
I was so happy for my new card, that i fall to sleep immediatley for three hours. Now i feel better.
Wheather has changend here. We have a cloudless sky, but it is very cold. Or it's my lack of sleep. Anyway, since this morning i know sun is rising at five o'clock. .
 Now, i would like to drink some coffee... should i? I think, this can be called "decision under risk", but i should check that first again

I totally agree. You need an extra bag for plastic cards! And I'm just two weeks here! I will make such a foto, too!

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...

If I just lay here, would you...?

After skiweek Philipp arrived in Sundsvall for defending his master thesis. His visit fell right into the time of hard good byes. On Friday night we went out to Norrmalms and to Kårhuset for celebrating a last time with Marco, Marco and Ward. The Marcos left on Saturday morning. Ward, we brought Saturday night to the trainstation. On my way home I thought, if it always had been so hard. It was never easy, but this year it feels special. Because it is. This semester was special. More intense than the two semesters before. We were only a few, but the group fitted. But the most difficult way to the trainstation was definitely this morning when we set Christian and Maritha on their way to Copenhagen. Although we all know we will see each other again, this determinates a lifetime. It has been so special. So close with so many people. So many experiences. So many memories. Although we are still 15 people from the old semester, it feels like my time here already has ended. In 3 weeks I will l...

Moviestar

Last night I did not sleep that much. Maybe 3 hours. This morning I found out, that I counted too less working hours over the past three months, so I earned far less money than I deserved. Well, now I know it better. At 9 had to be at university, for an advertisment for the university's master programs. Haukes was there as well. He slept as much as I, but he still suffered from a hangover. But this movie was fun. We had to dress up in costumes and walked around in the clean room. It was the perfect job for that moment. We got told what to do and had just to follow orders. Very easy. Next Tuesday is the next and last movieday. I am looking forward to the result. When I arrived, Kevin, the director and teacher for the media-courses, looked at me and asked "Are you Markus? I remember your face". The he listed a movie and a salsa-interview I had particpiated in. I am impressed. Either he does not look so many movies or he has an excellent memory for statists whose biggest rol...
