Crimson Tide

What a night! Everybody feels still high because the last night. Most of us not because of the alcohol. Sandra & Felix had the amazing idea to celebrate a cocktail party as good bye party. After the carnevalparty (also an idea of them) it was sure: with their talent for decoration, music , fun and atmosphere this would be a hightlight of the year. And it was, indeed! It was even better than the carneval party! The invitiation was "dress up somhow sexy", so I took a shirt from Basti for not having on one of my four already well known party-shirts.
After midnight the security of Nacksta came to warn us, if we would not stop, they would call the police for ending the party and claiming for 700SEK penalty. Because of this, Johnny had the great idea to move in his apartment in another building. Even if his neighbours would claim for silence, we would just receive a warning first, like we did at the first place. But there was no security or police anymore, so we celebrated at his place until the late morning. But it was a pitty for the nice decoration of the first appartment Sandra and Felix worked so hard for. But they should not be sad, because we are all thankful they initiated the most wonderful parties of the year. They were a few amazing photographers: Nicol, Phil, ...

In contrast to the (so called) good-bye-dinner we could feel this time the spirit of evanesence. I had some really sad moments. I thought of losing friends I celebrated with on this party. But I also thought again about my EILC people widespread over europe. As beautiful this half year was as bitter is its end. I talked with some guests and they said "Time passed so quickly. I can remember my arrival like it would have been yesterday". I cannot remember my arrival realy, because of the strong memory of Härnösand, but time passed really quick. I don't know really where the last 3 month were. October, november and december felt equally. It was so short. I feel of having not invested enough time on very good friends. And in addition some friends here I really learned to know only in the last weeks and they will leave too soon. It's hard to realize having lost time.


Basti and I left the party at half past 4 in the morning. We still were not tired and still filled with the wish to carry on, tasting the last dance until its very end. But we had a lab in the morning at 8:15. And after 2 hours of sleep, we made it! We went to the lab. Totally wasted, but we were there and even finished our assignment! I think more than the half of the work for this lesson is done by now. I am really happy we worked so efficient on it. But because of the night I were not able to accompany Phil at the logic-lesson, so I skipped it (again). And I slept wonderful until 17:30. Now we wait for "sista salsa kursen" (the last salsa course) and will meet the other exchange students after that somewhere in town at a good-bye pizza dinner. Again a breath of a dream we want to taste as long it lasts.

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...

If I just lay here, would you...?

After skiweek Philipp arrived in Sundsvall for defending his master thesis. His visit fell right into the time of hard good byes. On Friday night we went out to Norrmalms and to Kårhuset for celebrating a last time with Marco, Marco and Ward. The Marcos left on Saturday morning. Ward, we brought Saturday night to the trainstation. On my way home I thought, if it always had been so hard. It was never easy, but this year it feels special. Because it is. This semester was special. More intense than the two semesters before. We were only a few, but the group fitted. But the most difficult way to the trainstation was definitely this morning when we set Christian and Maritha on their way to Copenhagen. Although we all know we will see each other again, this determinates a lifetime. It has been so special. So close with so many people. So many experiences. So many memories. Although we are still 15 people from the old semester, it feels like my time here already has ended. In 3 weeks I will l...

Moviestar

Last night I did not sleep that much. Maybe 3 hours. This morning I found out, that I counted too less working hours over the past three months, so I earned far less money than I deserved. Well, now I know it better. At 9 had to be at university, for an advertisment for the university's master programs. Haukes was there as well. He slept as much as I, but he still suffered from a hangover. But this movie was fun. We had to dress up in costumes and walked around in the clean room. It was the perfect job for that moment. We got told what to do and had just to follow orders. Very easy. Next Tuesday is the next and last movieday. I am looking forward to the result. When I arrived, Kevin, the director and teacher for the media-courses, looked at me and asked "Are you Markus? I remember your face". The he listed a movie and a salsa-interview I had particpiated in. I am impressed. Either he does not look so many movies or he has an excellent memory for statists whose biggest rol...
