Por Que Te Vas

At saturday we stood up at 10 and went to the university for booking the train tickets for Gema which she needed on sunday. We wanted to go to university anyway because there happened this years Medelpaddeln. The task at Medelpaddeln is for two team to canoe approximatly 100 meters upstream to the lower bridge, climb a latter, handshake with a person on the bridge and get back as first team to the starting point. It was great fun. A lot of canoes keeled over. Ulrich's team even won the first competition. I took so many pictures that I had to make two galleries in Picasa. One only about the race and one about race and audience. Click on the pictures below.








After the race Gema and I went home while Philipp worked further at the university. As well as Gema I took a nap for being prepared for the evening. First we had a preparty at Ulrich's flat and went to the student house afterwards. It was even full. A pitty we missed the cover band in the first floor. Somehow in the upper floor was first nothing so we went to the dance floor downstairs were we danced until the end, but the music was the worst we have ever heard there. Nobody of us liked it (except perhaps Petter... if he can remember it :D ). In a beautiful morning light we went home by car at 2:30. If it is not clouded it is bright 24 hours a day now.
We went to bad at 3am and stood ab at 6:30. Gema's went by train 8:11. I am so looking forward to go to Spain one day. After Philipp and I have returned from the trainstation we slept. But I slept just for a little bit more than one hour, because I guided Sebastian and his parents to Härnösand. His parents are here for vacation by car and because Sebastian wanted to see something different I offered to show them Härnösand, because I was longing for a change, too. And it was great! First we took a walk of a little bit more than one hour through the town, watched the buildings and the dome. Afterwards we stopped in a cafe and drove to Smitingen afterwards. The last time I've been there was during the EILC in august 2006. This time The weather was great, for the sun was shining all the time, like once in august. We wandered from Smitingen to some grottoes and around a lake. The way was difficult and we had to climb a lot. But we have been rewarded with a most amazing landscape, a natural peacefulness and the best tracking experience since I've been in Sweden. Again, a gallery at Picasa shows expressions of my trip.
Baders in Härnösand
This was the most beautiful weekend of the semester. First all the activities with Gema and then this dream of a trip to Smitingen. Today I knew, why I had chosen Sweden for my abroad.

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...

Masked party and first time in Tornvillan

The last week was passing quickly. During the days I worked on my thesis. In the end it even made some fun. I am only rewriting it at the moment trying to get a link between all chapters and finish ideas that I had in early chapters but never mentioned later again. The evenings became a lot quieter than they have been only two weeks before. I already start thinking about what I pack into my luggage in a week and what I leave here. That is fun. However, imagine to leave this room in two days is sad somehow. During the week Peppo had the great idea for having a mask-party. Because our neighbours have small children we moved the party to the old party flat (former italian flat), since we never had any problems with the neighbours. Until now. Already after 11 the police aksed us to calm down, since the drunken old lady from 18b had complained about the noise. Strange. The party was really cool, but not as loud as the partys before, since nobody was singing. So, we moved already before midn...

Holidays

More and more students arrive at Nacksta. Now I know from 5 new students. There are likely more, but we do not know them, yet. Yesterday evening we made a short trip to the Irish Pub in Sundsvall for it was Ulrich last Wednesday in Sundsvall and for it was the first Wednesday for the new students. At the moment I have no daily routine. If am not out in this beautiful weather I try to work on my thesis. Somehow, I only find in the afternoon and in the evening the "flow". But tomorrow I will make a brake, because I go to holidays! Holidays? "What does HE wants with holidays?" you likely think. Well, it is a difference if you just have limited time and a bunch of amazing opportunities or if you just don't have to think about anything. Tomorrow, my train will leave at 12am from Sundsvall. On Sunday evening I will come back. In the meanwhile I will meet my family in Orsa and stay with them for 3 days. The picture is from my brother and his girlfriend yesterday eveni...
