SAAM 2007

Monday evening Goska, the last of our students, arrived. Because it was too late for getting keys, she slept at our living room for one night. During tuesday Goska and I walked a lot through Sundsvall. First we went to university for picking up some stuff and papers for her. Back at Nacksta we visited StuBo for receiving her keys, but because the contract was at Mitthem, we took the bus to town. There she signed the contract and we made a small tour thourgh the town searching for an ethernet-cable and opening a bank account. And we visited Skattverket for changing my address to 16b. Since tuesday afternoon Goska has her own room. Welcome to Sweden!
In the evening I cooked for my flatmates and drank tea with them and Nawelle. But it was not my only drink this night, because I had my first original good-night-beer since beginning of february! Internet is a very beautiful invention. Now Basti needs a webcam. And beer, next time. Or we both need a bottle of wine. It was a really nice night. I hope, we will be able to repeat it!
Today was a company fair (called SAAM) at university. It's like bonding in Aachen.First I thought as always my only profit from such an event would be some candy. Lipstick from Handelsbanken, a banana from LIDL and so on. But I tried to contact the IT companies. At the beginning I was a little bit disappoint. I tried 5 companies. 3 had a nice presentation of themself. 4 of them did not seem to be interested in me. One even did not speak english. The woman told it would be difficult to get into the company with english. I wonder how long an IT-company can survive without english speaking members. But as long as plants are growing in Sweden, this company will survive. It develops software for forest-companies. What a stereotype... But the last company were really interesting. They even establish a thesis program at their company for next autumn. They said, I would be interesting for them, because of my finished studies and my work at Fraunhofer last year. While the other companies advised me to suggest them a topic, these will probably give me one. I am very happy having met them, because the conversation was very positive.

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...

Fourth day at Härnösand

This was used to be our free day. Somehow the sunday passed by quicker than the days before. After the party at night i left already at 11 o'clock i walked to the universitiy for internet. But when i arrived, the internet was down. I have waited for 2 hours, but it didn't come back. So i had to walk 15 minutes back to the hostel without having done anything usefull. When i arrived i heard the internet was up again. Arg, why didn' stay in bed before?! After my second visit at the u niversity (internet was realy online), it was afternoon and Jana, Klara, Katerina, Denis and i decided to walk to the east coast of the island to see the open sea. On our way we met Phil who joined our trip. We walked about an our until we arrived at a small village "Gånsvik" at the east coast. We climbed on several rocks. The landscape was great. After four hours at all we were back at the hostel. Nothing more happend and i was realy tired from walking so went to bed early again.
