Different World

Since Tuesday I am back in Germany (or like the Sweds would say: "Jörmänie"). Traveling home is not very interesting. You wait for your train, wait 3 hours until the train arrives in Arlanda, wait another 3 hours for the plane, wait 2 hours until the plane arrives in Cologne (Köln) and then you drive another hour to my home.
And what do you do, when you come home? First: you eat bread. A real one. Not one of those swedish cookie-toasts. And what else? Of course. A real beer. A beer that you drink for taste and not for DPK (Dizziness Per Krown). My first day consisted of buying a box of beer, shoes for the winter (my old ones in Sweden are worn) and new clothes, for you get very bored of your old ones if you have to live for 11 month with a bunch of clothes just enough to fit into a bag.
Since I came back I heard two common questions: 1. How is the weather? 2. When will you go back? First, the weather is cloudy but ok. From time to time we have rain showers and today I did not even see a blue spot in the sky. Therefore, I still wait for my first starlit sky, for Sundsvall had none since April. Second, I plan to go back at the 2nd of August.

If you are interested what happened the last two weeks since I closed the Erasmus-Blog check my Picasa webalbum for two galleries: one of a tour with Pontus and one of Midsommar in Svedje. If you have facebook you can also check pictures from Nadja's BBQ.

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...
