I Get Around

Nacksta is quite empty now. Wednesday was goodbye meeting in Liquid bar, Thursday GoodBye-Party at 20b, Friday GoodBye Party at 16e and Saturday last Kårhuset.
But my week did not only consist of parties. On Thursday I sent in my article and hoped for being done with it. The surprise came today: the article is crap. I am not really surprised that it is not good, since it is my first one. But I thought it would be at least enough for passing. It probably is, but they want an awesome piece of work if I want to stay PhD candidate. I have time until 30th of June. Good thing I did not start with the paper they gave me before (a few of you know the Bangkok story). For sure I would have screwed it up in my naive style of writing. At least, I know what I have to do during my last three weeks of Sweden before I'll go home for vacations. "Luckily" I did not plan any trips during that time :(
Vacations is a good topic. Since the weather is so great in Sweden, I took some sunbaths during the past days. My skin is more a mixture of red and bright brown. Friday I have been in the city the whole day and in the afternoon we walked to the Sidsjön for swimming. It was not really cold. Saturday we drove to Alnö by bus. At Vi we had to wait one hour for the next bus to the beach called Tranviken. From there the next bus left at 6pm. But I was lucky for getting seat in the car of Julia's friends who was accidently at the same beach. The time at the beach was cosy. When you came out of the water, you felt very cold because of the wind, but all in all it was nice.
Because I got back by car I was home at 6pm, able to rest a little bit and go to Norrmalms' preparty. It was my second visit there since December last year when I waited for my bus after midnight to get to Stockholm. After having eaten awesome pizza we went it Kåren. It was the last party before the summer. It was not as big as the party before the winter last year, but anyway the best they had this semester.

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...
