I Need Some Sleep

A boring week. Since tuesday I have a slight cold. I hope it will be gone tomorrow, because it is weekend and few cool events promise to bring fun. Yesterday I have not been to salsa, because I wanted to avoid to cough all the time. That's not polite during a dance. But I wished I had been there. It would have been so much fun. In the evening I tried the spanish birthday party, I wasn't able to stand longer than one hour. I sweat and I felt cold and hot at the same time. I went home, trieing to sleep, but that was not fine either. I hope, I will be fine tomorrow. There will be a pot lock party. I don't know what to bring. Afterwards will be a german carneval party. According to rumors with carneval karaokee. Cool.


Today I visited the universtiy just for taking my exam home. In Sweden you are allowed to take your exam home. You have to sign for taking it and than you are allowed to do. I remember when I asked my chief of my department at the first year in Aachen for my exam. He just laughed and alleged I would like to correct mistakes to accuse him not having counted all my points. I answered, I would sign for taking it. No chance. It was not possible, just because it's not usual. That's german. But here in Sweden they do it like this. You go to the secratery, ask for your exam, sign for receiving and go home. According to rumors I am the only international student who passed the exam in Decision Theory. I don't want to believe that, but it seems to be true.


Oh, and I found a Doppelkopf-group to play with. The problem in Doppelkopf is, you need 4 players. And if you have 4 players, everybody knows different special rules., so we had to negotiate about the rules. I lost my 9's in the game. Because of this it is more deterministical like Skat, because the cards are less spread. But this is alright for me. It makes thinking easier. But I lost the Scheinwchen-rule (piggies-rule). The rule why I play this cardgame! Because two weak cards (the foxes), everybody wants to hunt down to gain extra points, become the most powerfull (piggies) if you have both of them. And now I have to play without this rule. And I had to learn more rules. At the beginning I was a little bit frustrated, because the game seemed to be very deterministical with the new rules, because without 9's you have no choice which card you want to play, so it just wins the team with the best cards, not with the best tactic. But in the end, it was ok. There are still opportunities to choose what to play. The new rules are fine. But I still prefer my old rules. And now I practice. I would like to combine some new rules with my old. So, everybody at home: take care. We will have to play alot when I will be back!

För den jag är

Unbelievable. Anna is already since 10 days gone. Or is it only 10 days? I lost my feeling for time. Everyday is full of experiences and activities. I cannot recall everything what I have done in the past two weeks. Many things are just small things which I appreciate a lot. But the last weekend was a highlight. We went with 12 people in three cars to a place called Vallbo near Åre. We started at half past 6 in the morning on Saturday. Although some of us did not sleep at all during the fromer night we walked almost 8 hours. And it was awesome. We walked through so many different landscapes. Wood, swamp, high gras, Tundra, stone desert, climbed up a mountain, walked crosswards through the wood, on a dead river... Overwhelming. I remembered pictures of New Zealand while we wandered through that panorama. The view was breathtaking. The weather changed quickly a few times. One we had even an ice shower. In the end of the day we stayed for dinner at a pension where we got selfmade soup, b...

Ankle parade

What a weekend. Friday I watched "The Ring" with Christian and Maritha. And for getting down after the movie we watched Scream3. Saturday was a soccer-tournament in the Nacksta sportshall. When we entered the hall and watched the other teams we realzied immediately "Damn, they know how to play". So we started straight away we tactical plans. "Ok, first, with which foot do you shoot" - "Right" - "I as well right" - "Right, too" - "Don't know, I never kicked a ball before"... We were definitely the team with the most fun. We laughed so much. More and more werid tactics arised. From playing in a circle, so everybody can shot with the right foot, to Eileen's scare-tactic which should not explained in detail here. After three matches we were out, but we won at least the second. During the second game in injured somehow my ankle. I have no idea when and how, but I skipped for that reason the last match. The girls h...

Like I Do

The weekend was to short. During the first days I always have to remember Östersund. On monday I had a predicate logic lesson. Until now I can follow the lesson. The lecturer started to express everything in mathematical formulas, so can finally learn that, too. Yesterday we had swedish lesson. I like these lessons. Ella has prepared something, but we have everytime something else to question. Yesterday we brought a article about Anna from a magazine. During the lesson we read the article and discussed it. And because it was full of partizipels Ella taught us partizipels. Today Basti and I had our first Decision Analysis lesson. Because Jim became father another lecturer taughts the lessons. Aron makes his job fine, I think. He tries to involve the audience and explains everything in details and with funny examples. But one thing I don't like: as always at this university you need a course book. And as always there are just two copies at the library. And the bookstores have to orde...
