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

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
