Walking On Sunshine

Winter has begun. Look for Maglosia's and Martin's Blog. We would also have this huge amount of snow, but it is far too warm, so it rains heavily, all the time. On Friday it was that hard, i did not go to university to avoid becoming ill. All who went told me, they sat totally wet in the lessons. On friday almost everyone of the exchange students went on a trip to Stockholm. Now I am almost alone here. On friday I was did nothing but being frustrated of the weather. On saturday I concentrated on my homework. It is that hard. I have to analyze game theory in organizational decision making. I have not any clue how to do that. The exercise is to critical analyze the authors key issues. Well, his key issues are facts and I believe everything he wrotes. How should I write eight pages about that? How can I formulate a problem about this fact and well prepared conclusion?
In the evening I feared of staying alone the whole weekend, just seeing my computer and my books. But Anna also stayed in Sundsvall, so we decided to watch "Studio 54" on DVD. After that we went to Felix's flat where a big dinner was prepared. I had a terrible headache. But luckily I accidently had my bagpack with me, where still was Inga's medicine she gave me on the morning after the EILC-Good-Bye-party. After a while we decided to play/sing karaoke. Karaoke. I. Singing. Oh god... but this is my semester abroad. I already danced like a frog on my first day in sweden, sang "Här komer Pippi Långstrump", asked foreign people about surströmming, presented myself in a pantomimic show, asked Björn about his tatoo, learn salsa, asked a girl to dance with me... I made so many things I would have never imagined me to do. So why not embarrassing the others with my voice? We made two teams playing "against" each other. At this karaoke-program you earn points if you hit the tone over a short time span. When it was my turn, I was happy founding an "Ärzte"-song "Männer Sind Schweine". At least the lyrics shouldn't have been a problem. The first verses were zero points, because I really had to hit the tones. My tones were that wrong, they were not even visible on the screen. But after I have skipped to sing like I am used to sing I earned points. The result was not bad. "1000 mal berührt" was a catastrophy, "Green Day - Minority" was a hit, and at the fun round a sang "The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love"... suprisingly it was my second best result. But it finally smashed my vocal chords. At 4 o'clock I went home to bed. My throat hurts a little bit. But this likely is a result of an arising cold. But I don't have time for illness. Show must go on!

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...
