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...

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...
