Markus i Sverige

Today I had my first lecture. I could not sleep since half past 5. I was not very nervous, but when I woke slightly up, I started immediatly thinking about what shall me first words in the lecture be and so on. At 8 I went to university and practised the methods I planned to present. And it went quite good. I even enjoyed it. I wonder how it will be like when I am used to stand in the front. After lunch I finally started with my thesis again, for I delayed it last week. But I have no administrator rights on my laptop, so I have to wait for the IT to install me the software I need. Until then, I just collect knowledge with a usual pen on a usual paper. Half Nacksta met at 5pm at simhallen for swimming. It was a little bit crowded, because there has been just 2 lanes for freelancers like us. It was even my first visit in a simhall since 1.5 years. And I got cramp in my toes. In my toes! In the beginning I wondered about a strange feeling, but when I somehow could not swim properly, I rea...

Indeed, I went to sauna last night. After I've been back, I felt so cosy tired that I only wanted to sleep... but I got a call from Germany that I would have to copy a 6-page article from a car magazine word by word. It last until half past 1 until I was finished. I was so tired, the letters were only vague dots and I had to read every line twice. This morning I found a scanner at the university, so I could finally scan those articles from the magazine. But because I have no log-in for my computer I had to run two floors between scanner and student-computer room for checking the scans. And I felt pretty embarrassed scanning car articles on my second day right next to my colleages. Well, since the student-scanner is not properly installed, there is a reason why I have to use the professors' scanner, but nevertheless. After scanning I was upset with that work, because it steals so much time. Cars are very uninteresting for me. In my eyes they are just tools. Of course, it is a jo...

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 ...
