Harder To Breathe

Yesterday was the "Good Bye"-dinner of the exchange students in Sundsvall. My second Good-Bye-dinner this week. But this time it was just a usual party. Nobody thought about seeing each other again. Just singing and drinking. But it was a good party. The meal was excellent. And the wine, too. Everybody had a secret task to absolve. My task was to speak as much swedish as possible. After the dinner we went at midnight to O'learys, but in the way Magnus told me it would cost entrance so I turned and went back home. Phil has the best pictures.
This morning was very hard to get up. I had swedish lesson at 9:15. And I was the only one, so I had a nice talk with Ella talking about speed limits in Germany and Sweden and things like that. After that I attended the Swedish1-Course. In Swedish2 I always think of I am unable to say the easiest swedish sentences. But in Swedish1 I realized, that I already learned a lot. After more than 3 hours swedish I had predicate logic. And this time, logic was hard. I could follow, but I had my problems with it (at least because I was so tired). Now I have realized the difference between an A and an B course. I never had a course in Germany which was as "easy" as an swedish A course. But the B courses are least as tough as my lessons at home, I guess. I have a new homework to do. Until friday next week. Reading a whole book from James G.March (remember: The Art Of Bullshitbingo in September) and summerize it. I don't know, why I still attend this course. Others have changed to databases or something interesting. I am the only one who did not know we could change. Now it is too late.
After having slept in the afternoon, we had Salsa in the evening. And it was great! I had so much fun that I stood longer for dancing on. But at quarter to ten there were not enough girls left, so Basti and I went home. But I still have so much adrinaline from the Salsa. Next week, there will be the Salsa dinner with a Salsa-party after that. At the beginning of the party at 9pm the teacher will teach possible newcomers basic steps and then... dancing! So, even if you did not attend in the salsa course: come and dance! It will be fun. I guess, we will also have at least one visitor from Östersund there. Yes!

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.

3rd erasmus

Yesterday was the inofficial start of the 3rd erasmus semester because Jens arrived as the first of the new students. He even participated at the EILC in Falun! And guess what, he's our new flatmate! The main part of the new students will come this week. That the new students arrive means also that the last from the 1st and 2nd will leave. Today it was Benjamin's turn. The only good thing is that from now on there won't be less students in Nacksta than today. Jens and I brought Benjamin to the trainstation and walked back through the town. In the afternoon we will maybe walk to Sidsjön and at night we will check Sundsvall's pubs. For the 3rd erasmus semester has begun.
