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.

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...

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.

Ankle parade

What a weekend. Friday I watched "The Ring" with Christian and Maritha. And for getting down after the movie we watched Scream3. Saturday was a soccer-tournament in the Nacksta sportshall. When we entered the hall and watched the other teams we realzied immediately "Damn, they know how to play". So we started straight away we tactical plans. "Ok, first, with which foot do you shoot" - "Right" - "I as well right" - "Right, too" - "Don't know, I never kicked a ball before"... We were definitely the team with the most fun. We laughed so much. More and more werid tactics arised. From playing in a circle, so everybody can shot with the right foot, to Eileen's scare-tactic which should not explained in detail here. After three matches we were out, but we won at least the second. During the second game in injured somehow my ankle. I have no idea when and how, but I skipped for that reason the last match. The girls h...
