Dieses Leben

On tuesday evening I really cleaned the flat and it took the whole evening. But afterwards I was quite satisfied with the result. For avoiding new dirt I did only it one of Basti's polish instant soups. I planned to clean my own room at the next day after my mornings lesson. But suprisingly there was a afterparty of a few hours in my flat during the night (I did not participate in person, but I could hear every word). Therefore I missed the alarm-clock and the lesson. Instead I cleaned the flat (again), got rid of the smell of alcohol and had my inspection at 3pm. This time the inspector had nothing to complain. I staid the rest of the wednesday at the living room trying to avoid working on my seminar presentation. But I could not escape. At 2am I slept. On thursday the seminar itself was senseless, I think. I guess, nobody understood what the other was talking about. The problem was, that we had to talk about business topics, but we are all computer scientists, so we do not understand the background of our topic. We can repeat what we have read in books, but we cannot explain it. I don't know how financial markest are working. What is a public traded company? Connection between stock, hedge, discount, interest and risk-free rate? I have no idea. Worst of all: we have one week for reading all seminar papers (there are just 7) for being prepared for the home exam. This term is not funny anymore.
After the seminar I hurried for getting my keys and for moving the most important stuff before the salsa lesson. And now, I really live at 16B. I spent my first night in my new room. It is small. But I like it. You get more sense for details in such a compressed and empty environment. Salsa was great again. Learning everything again is really good for me. First, I can help others with the step. Second, because I know the steps earlier than others, I can improve my leading skill, which usually does not exist. After salsa I went back to 20A for fetching the most important stuff. Before I left to 16B Philipp came over and we made some pictures for his thesis-applications. As Gema would say "He's best".
At the moment I still have some things at 20A, but I will take them tomorrow. The new flat hides some dangers. The worst of all was even my own idea: a television. The greatest danger for wasting time. But a chance for improving my english and swedish.

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...
