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.

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...

Ut

Emptying the room you spend your erasmus studies in is a strange feeling. My room I had for 50 weeks, after having lived 6 months in 20A. Almost one year in this little cabin. Seeing the room finally empty is not that strange. It even holds something exciting, since it means you move on. But carrying your stuff piece by piece out of the room is like watching a picture book from old times. It is not really a sad feeling, but you remember a lot of small things that seemed to be forgotten. But all my stuff did not vanish, of course. It just moved further to the living room, a place where almost every leaving exchange student has to spend some time. For me it will be a week. And it is not such a mess as it should be used for me. All in all I do not have so much stuff as I had expected. I guess it will fit all in this old crappy suitcase I have. However, I look forward to packing, for it means I will have to sort a lot of things out I would not look at again, anyway. And the stuff that rema...

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.
