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

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
