Red Flag

As you can imagine, sunday was not my most active day of the week. I almost got dark when I stood up. After breakfast with Phil and Stephan we went to Kårhuset in the evening and watched "Pirates of the Caribean 2". It is an unnecessary but funny movie, I think. But it ends right in the middle of the story. "To be continued..."
I found to funny pictures of myself.

The differnce between these pictures are 2 month. The left is from Karoline's birthday in september the other from the recent carneval party. My hair is now much longer and I look more crazy. How will I look in two more month?

Ulrich phoned today with our department from FH Aachen. We need to apply for a study brake in Germany for staying in Sweden. Everything is clear, but we need a letter from the department which is about "Yes, he is in Sweden". But nobody knows, how this letter has to look like, because nobody of our department seems to have ever applied for it. And the incredible answer of the department was: "It's unprovided". Unprovided?! Everbody on this damn university can apply for one, every student in Aachen can apply for it, but not students from our department. Just because it is "unusual"! Before I came to Sweden I applied for studying at University at Maastricht in the Netherlands. They have the best program with an extraordinary reputation. It would have been the perfect addition to my former studies. With the permission of my university I organized everything by my own and had a really good contact to Unimaas. I was intended to participate at the bachelors programm, full study (not only the required 10 ECTS from my home university) and got the chance to go on with the dutch master programme in knowledge engineering. And then my department just said "it's unusual to go to a not-partner-university". That was it. Damn bureaucracy. And now the same thing again. I hate it. If they don't allow me to stay here, the only thing left is to write my diploma thesis back there. But how can I be motivated to write a thesis at this department?
I will phone my professor tomorrow for help. Perhaps he can help us. But until now it sucks.

Friday Night

Wednesday and thursday where only university days. My robot can walk now from A to B and reacts properly to simple obstacles. But he has a problem with bigger obstacles. Those, who are interested in it: I covered the pathfinding algorithm from the algorithm for Bresenham-lines and added some simple reactions to obstacles. But I think I have to redesign it, because of the big-obstacle-problem. He needs a memory where he has already been on his path and he needs to calculate the path before he starts to walk on it. On friday I did nothing special. I phoned StuBo for moving to 16B, I could only speak on a recorder. Better luck next time. I also contacted my home university for some bureucracy stuff. I guess this will never end until I would leave Germany. Not that I plan to do it (I hear the rumors arising again). But I hate this German behaviour first to think about rising for denying service. For my financial support from the state, I need two applications from the university. But the d...

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...
