First day as an Assistant

I can hardly believe that it is already Thursday. I did almost nothing at my thesis! But I was not lazy, too. Time passes so fast at the moment. Almost every morning I get up 6am for write english abstracts about articles from Swedish, English or German newspapers. Don't ask me, what I did Monday and Tuesday. I think I did something on my thesis, for it has 2 more pages now. Yesterday was my first day at university again. But this time I was not anymore a student, but an employeer. I think this one of those first days, you forget after a short while. Climbing stairs the first time, running from one office to another, fixing papers etc. Until now the course consists of one Swedish boy and my friend Marco from Italy. But I think, I assume a 50/50 chance that Marco will remain as only student, for the Swedish boy did not look to enthusiastic when I realized, the lecture would be held in English. But some erasmus students showed interest as well. Probably we can hold the lecture in my living room - fika inclusive.

Today I got back to university for finishing organizational stuff. I got my keys to the office and even a computer. But I still have to wait for my log-in. But it seems, that I can work more. On half past 2 my arctile-job-chef told me, I would have time until half an hour ago to buy "Teknikens Värld" and to summerize all relevant articles. Oh my god... It took until halb past 7 in the evening, until I could finish for today. I hope tomorrow won't be so much work for the articles, for I definitely have to prepare my first own lesson on Monday. And there is still the thesis! But for today, I finish work.

Now I feel tired. Anna is cleaning the flat since one day, because she has inspection tomorrow. Oh, and Ben is in Sundsvall! A pitty, I had hardly time the past days (what the hell did I do all the time???), but I think he enjoyed his visit anyway.All the others are at Sidsjön playing games and having fun. When I went home from university this evening we had a blue sky and a cold wind like I love it. I would have liked to climb up to Norra Berget. But I could not. I hope for the weekend. But today, I will finish with a good and quiet sauna, because, nevertheless, life is still great.

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
