This morning i had my first exam in Sweden. It was about Decision Theory. And it was not that hard. It was quite easy. With a bit more preperation A should be no problem. It was about a few exercises, just slightly more complex. The definitions-questions i could not answer properly, I think. But I knew, where I the information would have stand, so I would just have needed more professional preparation.
When I went out this morning, it snowed a little bit. But it was staying on the ground, perhaps 1mm. But when I left the exam building 3 hours later, there where minimum 10cm snow. Perhaps more. It is snowing heavily all the day long. I went with Ulrich and Phil into the town, buying a cap and spikes. We did not know exactly, where to buy spikes, so we asked at the tourist-information. But they did not know what spikes are. So Phil explained "You know, these things for foreign people who cannot walk on snow like the swedish people..." - "Oh, you mean boddar!". Yes, boddar are spikes. You can buy in apoteket. But the tourist-information did not know that. But now I have some. I also tried every coat at the new second hand shop, but noone fitted. I thought about buying one, because I get cold legs outside. They cost just 200 SEK maximum.
They snow make the town more silent. At Nacksta you can hear screaming playing kids outside. But everything is covered with so much snow. In germany medias would call it snow choas. Here nobody cares. It is just the beginning. The streets are not even salted. They do not have even ordinary winter tires for the cars. The days before every car sounded like driving on small stones, because of the spikes on its tires. We just have beginning of November and I heard the snow will stay until april. As I said, just the beginning.
