Imagine

Saturday morning the last EILCs from Sundsvall, Phil, Dennis and I, started our trip to Östersund. At the centralstation of Sundsvall we met the remaining Härnösand fraction Klara, Jana and Katarina. All others already went to Östersund on friday or even thursday. The train takes 2.5 hours to Östersund. At the centralstation in Östersund the czech girls went into the city while Phil, Dennis and I went by bus to the camping zone, where our remaining friends live.
First we visited Malgosia, before the coffee party at Conny's cottage started. We had a lot of cake, tea and coffee and for some of the participants it was the first time I saw them again since the accomodation desaster in the beginning of september. It was very nice to start the revival. After the coffee I slept a while. Because of the movie night on friday in Sundsvall I still had a lack of sleep. Thanks to Nico, I found again a fine accomodation in Östersund. And the evening became an event, too. It was an EILC-party again. And it was the first EILC party I survived longer than 2 am. After hours I left even at half past 4 am. Foto galeries: Phil, Anna (more will follow).
At the morning I heard the voice of Malgosia in front of the Nico's cottage. And I remebered that the czech girls slept in her cottage and I had told them at the party they are not allowed to leave without saying good bye. And here they were, at 12 o'clock in the "morning". I climbed down from my bed and went outside, still in my sleeping dress, and gave each of them a huge hug. Phil would not be a real friend if he wouldn't have documentated this situation, too.
In the afternoon I went bowling with the international committee of Östersund. It was good, but after one hour I became really tired and I just threw the ball away, not really looking for the goal. I just wanted to go to bed. Thanks to Ben he gave me a lift back to the camping zone, where I could sleep until dinner at Malgosia's cottage in the evening. At quarter to 8 I had to say good bye, too, leaving with Anna, Line and Ulrich town.

This weekend was the short revival of the EILC. It was the last time the participants of the EILC meet in the constelation they left Härnösand. A pitty, not everybody was able to come. Elia was not able to pay the huge amount of trip costs (Umeå is really far away). Before we arrived two others left Östersund to make a trip through the north of sweden. At Malgosias blog you can see the melancholical-angry-funny variant to deal with these "traitors".
But now I think, this is how life is. Everybody experiences the same situation different. For me the EILC was the best time I can remember; for others it was just a nice time. I have to respect that if I want my memory to be as near as possible to reality.


It hurts to leave Östersund. In a way it is worse than having left Härnösand two month ago. Some "Good Bye"s were probably final. Our friends from Czech Republic, Klara, Jana and Katarina, will leave Sweden to Brno in a week. Perhaps we won't meet again. But just perhaps. But for sure: Brno is one of the places in the world I have to visit in my life.

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...
