The Boys Are Back In Town

More than three weeks have passed since my last post. As noticed I was at Germany over christmas, but most of the three weeks I was working for university. As result my Organisational Decision Making course is now finished and I passed it with distinction.
My journey home started on thursday afternoon, where a storm in middle Europe made flying difficult. People were only allowed to go in small groups to the plane, so nobody fell from the stairs while waiting for the one infront of him or her. Sitting in the standing plane was also interesting. The plane, essecially its wings, were shaking a lot. And while speeding up the plane felt like making two short jumps to the right hit by the storm. After this very interesting flight we landed at Skavsta where it was suprisingly snowing. As the rest of Europe Sweden also has a far to warm winter. At Skavsta were 4 degres, but it was snowing. Because I have bought my retur-ticket for the shuttle bus last year on my way to Germany I was lucky to get the second last place at the bus while others had to wait for their tickets. After having arrived at Stockholm I just had to wait a little bit more than one hour for the Ybuss to Sundsvall at 9pm. This time the bus was almost empty so I had enough space for my legs. Most of the time I was reading while the bus was driving through a dark but beautiful winter landscape. The last hour I slept. At 2:15am I arrived in a snowless Sundsvall. Instead of snow it had huge ice plates all over the floor. And I realized that there are no busses at night during the week. Because of this I had to walk with my luggage and it took one hour to arrive at Nacksta. It was cold (-4 degrees) but I did not feel it. And I made a lot of noice because of the wheels of my coffin.
A long trip like this still feel unbelievable to me. I traveled 1500 kilometers for arriving at the only house in the world I have a key for (at the moment) to find one particular flat with one particular room just for me. I cannot describe it, but I need some time to realize that I arrived.
Having arrived I drank a lot and ate a little bit. And slept until half past 11. In the afternoon Phil and Ulrich visitied me for learning Predicate Logic. This course is hard, I don't get it. And I don't really understand why. During the lessons it was very easy, but now I don't get a clue.
In the evening I plugged my new external hard drive to the RSA-computer at the living room. Now we can watch the movies recorded with onlinetvrecorder in the living room on the big monitor. We did it yesterday. It's almost perfect. We need a better sound system, but right for the moment, it's fun at all.
While we were looking "television" we recognized the slight snowfall outside. It was not snowing much but until midnight the ground was covered. Now we have a few centimeters of snow here. Even if it is a warm winter, it seems to be good enough for a little bit of snow. And the river is still frozen. A few footsteps even proof the ice being strong enough to hold one freak.
At saturday we met with Rueben at the library at 11am learning until 3pm. It's better now, but I still need exercise. There is one day left until monday. On monday we will see.

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...

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...
