Between the years

So that was Germany. I've been here for 10 days. The first two days I already made everything on my TODO-list. I've been in Aachen for registering my diploma thesis. That's a neverending story. This time I had to proof that I made a semester abroad, although they already accepted the courses I passed in Sweden. I am lucky with my German supervisor. Like me he is really annoyed by the narrowminded bureaucracy at my home university (they tell you to go abroad, but they are unable to mail a document, so you have to come to Germany to pick it up yourself). I fixed that now. Let's see what they complain next.

Christmas was as expected. Really quiet. Visiting relatives, going out with the dogs etc. Yesterday I've been out with my brother Thomas. We went to a big club of the area. We knew it was announced as Singleparty from 16years-old upwards, but we wanted to go out definitely. I did not really understand the planning for that party. It opened at 10pm and we had to wait more than one hour until we could enter. The queue at the wardrobe took also more than half an hour. After exactly 2 hours (quarter past twelve) we had our first beer. Incredible. But the beer was just 50 cent. Not even 5 SEK. So cool. For the kids it did not make much sense. They had to leave at 12 anyway, but of course they did not. Anyway, it was far too full. On the way to my first beer one kid puked almost on my shoes. We were wondering where he got all the alcohol from if everybody had to stand so long in the queue. But maybe he was waiting since 8. Who knows. After one hour we left already, because it was so crowded. Impossible to find a spot for dancing. So we went to the pub of our village, where we spent the evening during highschool. That was cool.
Today was the last day. I have a slight headache and I hope it is the weather. So I will stay at home, think about if I have everything packed. Tomorrow 13:20 goes the plane. I hope this time, I will reach the terminal in time (read the almost-disaster from August). I should be in Sundsvall at half past 8 in the evening. Looking forward. Although I just come from it feels like coming home.

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.

För den jag är

Unbelievable. Anna is already since 10 days gone. Or is it only 10 days? I lost my feeling for time. Everyday is full of experiences and activities. I cannot recall everything what I have done in the past two weeks. Many things are just small things which I appreciate a lot. But the last weekend was a highlight. We went with 12 people in three cars to a place called Vallbo near Åre. We started at half past 6 in the morning on Saturday. Although some of us did not sleep at all during the fromer night we walked almost 8 hours. And it was awesome. We walked through so many different landscapes. Wood, swamp, high gras, Tundra, stone desert, climbed up a mountain, walked crosswards through the wood, on a dead river... Overwhelming. I remembered pictures of New Zealand while we wandered through that panorama. The view was breathtaking. The weather changed quickly a few times. One we had even an ice shower. In the end of the day we stayed for dinner at a pension where we got selfmade soup, b...
