Blue skies at night

Weather in Sundsvall is very strange. Since 2am you have a bright blue sky. At 5am you wake up because the sun shines directly on your bed you you feel far to warm. During the day it is sunny so you can lie next to the river and enjoy it during your lunch break. After lunch more and more clouds appear and when you finish work at university in the afternoon the clouds are heavy, dark and deep und you have to fear rain. And it is colder than the cosy 20 degrees during the day. Plans like barbecues or picnics become less attractive although you were looking forward to it all the day long. During the early night hours the clouds disappear and around midnight to 2am you have a blue sky again and everything starts from the beginning.
On Monday I've been to university to fix some bureaucracy stuff. Since the printer did not work it took a while. In the evening I had a walk with Solene and Sebastian to the small lake (I know, it is not that small, but now everybody knows what I mean). We saw the beaver and found even his lodge. And we found a n automated lawnmower. Swedes can be so lazy.
On Tuesday I was standing in a movie-queue again. The heaven scene had to be reshot what I thought to already been done when I've been sick. Afterwards we had lunch and enjoyed the sun at the river. My only work at the moment is to criticize the articles. So I read the first one and found out, that this exercise is more a torture. But I learn a lot by comparing those to my own article and I rethink a few things. I realize things about structure I did not think of before. Spontaneously Sebastian, Solene and I decided to have picnic at the small lake. Of course the weather was ugly in the evening, but we decided to go anyway. The picnic was slightly cold, because the wind was blowing, but it was so funny. Because nobody of us had been farer from Sundsvall away, we walked through a nearby village to a church which you can see from the lake. We crossed some fields and walked around the lake. By accident we had to cross the garden of somebody. In the end we have been 5 hours outside coming back at 11pm. And it was so funny. I've been that tired from the walk, that I went to bed before midnight. Just for being waken up by the sun at quarter past 6am. This time without the ability to sleep again. So what. I am awake. Let the day start. I'm in.

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...

Friday Night

Wednesday and thursday where only university days. My robot can walk now from A to B and reacts properly to simple obstacles. But he has a problem with bigger obstacles. Those, who are interested in it: I covered the pathfinding algorithm from the algorithm for Bresenham-lines and added some simple reactions to obstacles. But I think I have to redesign it, because of the big-obstacle-problem. He needs a memory where he has already been on his path and he needs to calculate the path before he starts to walk on it. On friday I did nothing special. I phoned StuBo for moving to 16B, I could only speak on a recorder. Better luck next time. I also contacted my home university for some bureucracy stuff. I guess this will never end until I would leave Germany. Not that I plan to do it (I hear the rumors arising again). But I hate this German behaviour first to think about rising for denying service. For my financial support from the state, I need two applications from the university. But the d...
