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

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
