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.

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.

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...
