Stop Along The Way

At the moment everybody has trouble to sleep. We are tired the whole day and during the night we cannot sleep for long. The brightness is likely the reason. But there exist these days where everything happens just perfect. Not really perfect. But very good with a touch of life's chaos. And such a day was today.
After yesterday was a usual always-tired Monday I went to bed still at half past 1am after having phoned with Basti the first time again since weeks. And I still stood up at 8. I had forgotten to defrost my lunch the evening before, so I had to take a small peace of pizza instead. But my article went very fine. I wrote more than one page. That's a lot! And I discovered a pattern for my article how I can achieve the amount of 20 pages, present something we have not learned and understand and am interested what I am writing. After I will have finished general explanation I will focus on knowledge acquisition. Very interesting.
Yesterday we discovered an advertising at the university for a band called Calaisa. I have never heard of it, but after having checked youtube we realized they play very good music and the 200 SEK could be worth the entrance. After the youtube-movies we expected a hall with screaming teenagers. But we were totally wrong! Except from two children we were the youngest participants of the audience. The far youngest. The place where the concert took place was Våningen and it is a nice location at the opposite of Myrorna at Sundsvall's Storgatan. You have to enter the passage with shops for clothes that's why we first missed the entrance. Våningen itself is a big lounge with nice decoration, tables and seats. And the concert was a highlight of my abroad here in Sweden. Nice music and entertainment. After one hour and two encores the show was over. Sebastian, Philipp and I were so excited that we bought each a signed CD from the girls. The first bought CD since years. And good news: Even if they are not listed among the artists yet, they said, they would come to gatufesten in july. At least one day I would buy the ticket for. For visual reflection check Phil's gallery.
And I checked events in Stockholm for the coming weekend. While Philipp and I are going there for two days we expected a huge eurovision song contest party since the Swedish people are so crazy about that. We are not that fond of ESC, but we would hardly like to miss an extra-ordinary party in one of the most beautiful capitals. We did not find any evidence for an open-air party as it is usual in Germany, but I found out, that Good Charlotte will play there at 29th of May! One good reason to travel to Stockholm in three weeks! For - now - the second concert of my life.

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

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

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
