Rock Rendezvous

I know, I know. No new post since tuesday, although the week was interesting. But most of the time I spent at university, working on assignments and having lessons. The first week of the new semester went fine.
On friday afternoon Conny arrived for a visit. In the evening we ate spaghetti at Ulli's place, because she received so much pasta from people who went back to their homecountry. On saturday we went to the city after a long breakfast. We used the opportunity for going to Lidl buying some stuff for me. In sweden, Lidl is much better than ICA, but it is at the other end of town, so we can only reach it by a 45-minute-walk or by bus. Conny and I visited the museum of the Kulturmagazinet, too. I've been in Sundsvall since September and I somehow never went there. But it is really nice. It is about art, but also about world- and swedish geology as for skandinavian- and Sundsvall's history. If you visit Sundsvall, you should go there. The entry is free and it is really worth the time! For sure, it was not the last time I've been there.
In the evening we cooked lasagne (thanks to Conny for handling the kitchen so confidently) and preheated at the living room before we went out a location we never visited before. We heard of a place called "Skeppsbrokällaren" where they play rock music. As you often complained, the swedish club music is annoying. They play the same songs everywhere and NEVER rock or something you could listen, too. Just always and everywhere the same dancing music. When we arrived at Skeppsbrokällaren they played real music! It is a fine place. Not so much for dancing, but for sitting, listening good music and talking. The audience is really interesting. Some punks and weird people. But after some songs the DJ changed the music to Justin Timberlake and all the other dancing music. What a sin. In Germany, they would have kicked the DJ out of the pub. But not in Sweden: the punks stood up and danced until 2 o'clock. Weird. And we met a girl from Germany who is working there. She moved with her mother to Sweden five years ago and she seemed to be happy to meet some fellowers. All in all, it was a nice place I for sure I did not see the last time. After the pub we went to Jonny's place, where we stayed until half past three. Phil has a gallery about the evening.
Today Anna had invited us for pancake breakfast at 12. This weekend I feel like eating all the time. As the lasagne the evening before it was a lot of food and very delicious. I am still very tired from the last night. I will sleep a little bit for being prepared for tonight. I don't think that we will have a big party. But it is Basti's and mine last common evening. Conny and Inga will leave at 8. His bus after midnight.

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...
