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.

I will survive

Wow. I did it! I survived surströmming! At least it tastes better than it smells, but that's not difficult. I don't need that taste again in my life. Bäh.... But from the beginning: they day started with practicing for the surströmming-party. My group trained a pantomimic performance. Every group had to present their results from their surströmming-investigation. The first group presented a Talk-Show, the second was my own group, the third had a very funny surströming-commercial performance, the fourth has covered the beautiful song " Vem vet " (engl.: Who knows) to " Vem äter " (engl.: Who eats) and the last made a TV-Show. It was a great fun. After the introduction we were seperated into groups again to prepare the party. I decided to help the entertainmentgroup. We exercised a song, almost one hour. After that, Nicola and i decided to make a few scetches as serving couple. Because of this we went back to the hostel to change our dress, but when we returne...

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...
