You Know My Name

The easter weekend was a good opportunity for several partys. It started with thursdays black-and-white party for Celine's birthday and went on with a fridays pizza party at the italian flat with a lot of dancing. Saturday was relatively quite, because everybody was already exhausted from the two big partys the days before. And finally at sunday Ionut celebrated his birthday above Wayne's Coffee at town.
But of course, we had some easter traditions, too. Philipp offered a easter brunch, therefore we had a cosy group of guests at sunday morning in our kitchen. Katharina, Sebastian and he had baked cakes and had painted eggs. After the brunch we had a walk with Petter around Sidsjön.
The days could have been also active. On saturday I tried a smaller path in the woods of Norra Berget which led over the rocks above the city. Finally it led to the tower where I've not been since november. It was the first time I had a clear sight from there. When I've been there in september it was raining, but this time I had a very good view to mountains behind Södra Berget and to the sea. The next objective is to reach Norra Berget in time of sunset at a clear day.
Monday was really, really active. Thanks to Petter we drove to Boda Borg, the same where we have been at the beginning of the EILC, too. While the group size of 5 was the last time perfect, it was too big this time. Everybody had ideas for a solution and without a clear leader it was a little mess in the beginning. But then we split up the group and Petter and I went on together. All in all it was a funny day, again, at Boda Borg. Except from a blue spot and some burned skin at my ellbow I have now injuries.
On tuesday the first muscles complained about the exercises, but I guess the main revolution will arise today. At tuesday I've been at university for studying. Luckily I met Paula after lunch so we both had some study-company and I were able to conzentrate better on my book. Afterwards we went to town, where I bought a Mp3-stick, because the jogging-track becomes boring without music. I tested it already at tuesday evening. It makes more fun with music.
Oh, and I have passed my home-exam. Today, I will fetch up the exam, because I am really interested how I made that. Furthermore, I assume that this week I will be able to make the decision if I will stay here during next fall and winter.
I went to bed early, but somehow I could not sleep further after 4 hours. Since then it had rained a lot, but the clouds are gone by now. I hope, that I will be able to sleep now, but I not optimistical about that, because the sun is already rising. Bad luck, because today will be a tough day. First learning at university with the first streetdancing-course afterwards. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to it, but I hope, I will be able to sleep three more hours from now on.

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...
