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

Holidays

More and more students arrive at Nacksta. Now I know from 5 new students. There are likely more, but we do not know them, yet. Yesterday evening we made a short trip to the Irish Pub in Sundsvall for it was Ulrich last Wednesday in Sundsvall and for it was the first Wednesday for the new students. At the moment I have no daily routine. If am not out in this beautiful weather I try to work on my thesis. Somehow, I only find in the afternoon and in the evening the "flow". But tomorrow I will make a brake, because I go to holidays! Holidays? "What does HE wants with holidays?" you likely think. Well, it is a difference if you just have limited time and a bunch of amazing opportunities or if you just don't have to think about anything. Tomorrow, my train will leave at 12am from Sundsvall. On Sunday evening I will come back. In the meanwhile I will meet my family in Orsa and stay with them for 3 days. The picture is from my brother and his girlfriend yesterday eveni

Masked party and first time in Tornvillan

The last week was passing quickly. During the days I worked on my thesis. In the end it even made some fun. I am only rewriting it at the moment trying to get a link between all chapters and finish ideas that I had in early chapters but never mentioned later again. The evenings became a lot quieter than they have been only two weeks before. I already start thinking about what I pack into my luggage in a week and what I leave here. That is fun. However, imagine to leave this room in two days is sad somehow. During the week Peppo had the great idea for having a mask-party. Because our neighbours have small children we moved the party to the old party flat (former italian flat), since we never had any problems with the neighbours. Until now. Already after 11 the police aksed us to calm down, since the drunken old lady from 18b had complained about the noise. Strange. The party was really cool, but not as loud as the partys before, since nobody was singing. So, we moved already before midn
