Blue moon

Exams are over. And it were finally more than i thought. Yesterday evening Basti remind me of the swedish exam today. Just thinking of logic i had forgotten that thing. But anyway I was learning very relaxed. I am a little scared about myself. But I have not learned a tenth that intensive like I did at home. It's just, because you have 5 hours for each exam. And the questions are just for 90 minutes. Because the period is that short, I always can sit there, try two hours to remember examples from the lectures, try to proof something by my own and finally find the clue without having learned it at home. If I would have learned 2 hours yesterday intensivley i could have done the exam today in logic in one hour instead of three. But that's a difference of two hours, too. After the mathematics exam today i prepared one hour for swedish. But I was shocked how much I had forgotten since EILC. As I hoped I could remember many things, but I did not get the details. And when I received the papers for the exams I even forgot many of the things I had locked minutes before. I had looked so intensivley for supinium for irregular verbs, but how was it for the regulars? I have to describe, what I have done last week, but I cannot remember more than the weekend? I have to describe a room, but I cannot remember more words than "middle, left, right, floor, desk, lamp, window and flower". It was very embarrising and I am angry about myself. But that's how it is going here. I could learn more intensive, but there is so much else I can do here. I think, I will have passed the exams with "good enough", but not satisfied. Better luck next time. That's the good thing of this short periods. When you have lost the learning motivation at the beginning of the period and you are unable to get back to it, there will be a new chance after only a few weeks. And I will take it.
The weather is still could here. My thermometer measured -8°C this morning. And we had again a beautiful blue sky this day. On the river swim a few thin ice islands. Big, but they do not seem to be thick enough to carry more than a mouse. I think, a polar light this night would be a fine idea. I am sitting in the living room, reading a lot of books and interesting things about Organization Decision Making. It is interesting, but I still don't know, what to argue. But there is this beautiful huge window. A polar light would be fine to watch from here. I hope for it.

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
