Billy S.

Today I had a special swedish lesson. First, the location was special. The room where Anna, Line and I had to go was in the top of the library tower of the campus. It was more like a small office, with 5 chairs, on table and a big tv with equipment. Second, the tv-equipment was special. A camera, which you can control with remote control, was standing at the television looking in our direction while sitting at the table. On the table lied a microphone waiting for us to talk. And third, Ella has not been at Sundsvall, but in Härnösand. She was sitting in a class room with a similar equipment as we had. But it was not my lesson. Not because of the equipment. First I were not able to head the words Ella said, because the modification of her voice through the television was unfamiliar to me. But even later, when I understood the words, I did not know what they meant. Terrible. Just 3 weeks out of Sweden and I feel like starting from Zero again. I've been really disappointed about myself. The girls were better and I would have been lost without them. I felt like at school during the english lessons of the last years, when I was glad that the girls were so good at the language and therefore the teacher did not ask to much questions to me. I've been incompetent. The best thing comes: if we understood Ella right she wants us to write an exam next week. I don't know if I want to do this. I planned to write it at summer... To skip or not to skip, that is the question. We will see.
The rest of the day I prepared some applications for home, so I can send them tomorrow to Germany. After that I should be able this time to concentrate on the studys without bureaucatic disturbance. Everything seems to go fine; except my swedish skill.

I will survive

Wow. I did it! I survived surströmming! At least it tastes better than it smells, but that's not difficult. I don't need that taste again in my life. Bäh.... But from the beginning: they day started with practicing for the surströmming-party. My group trained a pantomimic performance. Every group had to present their results from their surströmming-investigation. The first group presented a Talk-Show, the second was my own group, the third had a very funny surströming-commercial performance, the fourth has covered the beautiful song " Vem vet " (engl.: Who knows) to " Vem äter " (engl.: Who eats) and the last made a TV-Show. It was a great fun. After the introduction we were seperated into groups again to prepare the party. I decided to help the entertainmentgroup. We exercised a song, almost one hour. After that, Nicola and i decided to make a few scetches as serving couple. Because of this we went back to the hostel to change our dress, but when we returne...

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...
