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.

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...

Almost a week past since my last entry. So it is time for a summary: Weekend: At weekend we got visitors from Östersund. I enjoyed meeting my friends again. We visited Sundsvall, cooked together and ate and drank. Weekend past to quickly for me. It was far too short. But next weekends will be revivals, too. Week: The week started annoying. Bureaucracy everywhere. Damn annoying. But at least i got a contract from Mittuniversitetet for my master, so i will stay enrolled here until end of january 2008. Now i have to tell Aachen about my plans. I hope they won't try to stop me. I would like to make my diploma there as well my master here. This week is the first week with free days. Tuesday and Thursday are/were free for me, because i had no lessons. But i still wonder how quick time passes. I remember my last year in Aachen and i did so many things on one day, always working, always in a hurry, but here... i don't know. At the end of day i just can count a view things i did during ...
