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

Now it is almost a week ago since I moved into the living room. On Thursday we had valentine party in Kårhuset. Heineken was 19 SEK cheap, so I had to take the Friday off to prepare for the weekend. On Saturday we went to Kåren again. The DJ was not really talented, but at least they played some music you listen and dance to. It were several times the same songs and several times ABBA. But still

Emptying the room you spend your erasmus studies in is a strange feeling. My room I had for 50 weeks, after having lived 6 months in 20A. Almost one year in this little cabin. Seeing the room finally empty is not that strange. It even holds something exciting, since it means you move on. But carrying your stuff piece by piece out of the room is like watching a picture book from old times. It is

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

I did not do so much these days. I called StuBo for an inspection date. On Wednesday the 13th my room will be locked. Only to be opened again by Sebastian a few hours later. From that day on I will leave in the living room. A fortune almost everybody has to share when he leaves. I also negotiated a date for the final presentation of my thesis. Either 25th or 29th everything will be over. The one

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

20th - 24th JanuaryShort before the last of us leave we had our final trip. On Sunday morning we headed of to Vemdalen. 5 cars started at 7 in the morning in Nacksta. But except of Ole who did not have to refill gasoline 4 of us got already stucked at the gas station behind ICA Nacksta. Johan's car broke down and could not be repaired properly. In between the Corsa of the Marcos ran out of

17th JanuaryThe night I turned 25 we had first a sittin in the italian flat. I left earlier back to my appartment for helping Maritha moving to Jens and me. At midnight Christian, Maritha and Jens surprised me with Jelly shots, a movie about my "thousand faces" and a selfmade accustic song by Jens! I think we were sitting two hours in the living room, watching pictures and telling stories.My

Last Friday was a good-bye party at the italian flat. It was the last night were their sculpture made of cans has been fed with additional beer cans. During the night everybody could give a guess how many cans has been collected over the months. The result will be given at the end of this week. But first assumptions show a result slightly more than 1000 as most likely. Almost everybody guessed

It is done. Not the thesis. Not yet, I hope. But flight and train were so cheap at the moment that I had to book them now. Therefore, on the 20th of February I will finally leave Sweden. That makes 6 weeks from now on. After more than 18 months.

Nice, nice. So far, 2008 started quite well. But from the beginning. I arrived back in Sundsvall at the 30th December late in the evening. In my appartment I found a mail from my home university: they finally accepted my diploma thesis. Deadline is the 27th of February. Great, an end is finally in sight. The last evening of the year 2007 we spent in the Italian flat with a big dinner and drinking

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

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

Tuesday 11th DecemberAs the Sunday morning the alarm clocks did not really trigger us to stand up. I slept in the living room again and as on Sunday I heard in two minutes several alarm clocks from different rooms, but no movement for half an hour. We ate a big breakfast, cleaned the appartment in shortest time and delievered the keys in time. Afterwards we walked to town, visited the church, ate

Monday 10th DecemberAfter breakfast we went back to the river watching the southern horizon were sun passed somewhere without rising enough to be visible. Stefan and Jens tried crosscountry skiing, but the equipment was so bad that they gave it up after half an hour. Therefore we went into the woods instead. It was such a fun! We played children in deep pouder snow like. We wrote "ERASMUS" in

Sunday 9th DecemberAfter breakfast two taxis picked us up and brought us to our dogsledges outside of Kiruna. On our way we saw two mooses. One male with big impressive horns. He will certainly not die a natural death. Arrived at our starting point we had to wait for our guide. It was already cold. Together with us were also Erasmus students from Luleå and Västerå. All together we ere 25 people

Saturday 8th DecemberWe arrived half past ten in Kiruna. And it was already amazing when we left the train. Poudersnow everywhere. Stefan called us a taxi and as usual for him, it did not even take 20 seconds until the taxi arrived for picking us up. A few minutes later we arrived at our hotel-complex. Our accomodation was amazing. It was an appartment in a house. How the other appartments look

The last weekend Ralf, Steve, Marta, Ward, Martiha, Christian, Jens, Stefan, Anne and I made our trip to Kiruna. Because there is so much to tell, I will make several blog entries about it.Friday 7th DecemberFriday was a little bit stressy. I had still to read the master thesis for the master-defense I would participate in. I read the whole morning without really knowing what expectations I would

The week was not so successful for studies. My diploma thesis stucks in bureaucracy. Now my home university claims that I would not have done my semester abroad yet. Funny guys. It's not the first time they forget me. And I really do not get it. All they have to do is to check their computer system or a folder. Or phone the coordinator for semester abroads. He knows me.

What a weekend. Friday I watched "The Ring" with Christian and Maritha. And for getting down after the movie we watched Scream3. Saturday was a soccer-tournament in the Nacksta sportshall. When we entered the hall and watched the other teams we realzied immediately "Damn, they know how to play". So we started straight away we tactical plans. "Ok, first, with which foot do you shoot" - "Right" - "

Wednesday was the coldest day so far. During the whole day we did not have more than -6 degrees. In the morning it were even -11. But it began to snow during last night when the temperatures became near 0. Now we have a nice pouder-snow everywhere. This night Stefan and I went by car to Sidsjön for sledging down the skislope. It was so fun. After days in office and room at home this was an

The week was not so interesting. On monday I've been a little bit sick and did not go to badminton. The preperations for our Kårhuset party went well until we heard that Kåren is unhappy about our topic. That was an accident. For attracting at least some Swedish for our party we announced our erasmus-party as a Black&White party which accidentely is also the topic of an incredible huge and famous

On 5th of December 2007 Kåren has been so kind to offer us a place to party in Kårhuset. The initial idea was to play our own music there. Jens will be the DJ, so we can be sure to have a good collection of songs beyong the usual club-stuff.Since the party is so late in the semester it turned out that this will also be a kind of Goodbye-Party for the exchange students. Of course, we can have fun

Thursday has everybody been busy. The whole day. Except of me. For not starring at the walls I spent the evening in the wood and starred at the sauna-walls afterwards. Friday was a quite successful workday. The evening happend a cool sit-in-party at our flat and it last until 4am. Saturday itself has been therefore very relaxing.

It is constantly cold here. Actually -5 degress at 8am. Sometimes it snows a little bit, but usually it is not worth to mention. Snow on the sidewalks is by now that compressed that you might be able to skate to university without a problem.Looking back at the past three days nothing specific has happened. From monday I remember badminton and sauna. Tuesday was a staying-home day. Yesterday I got

Short week. Last salsa evenings. Finally. Although it was fun, I am looking forward to two free evenings in the week. What else... haircut and Glühwein on Friday, swimming on saturday and finishing the day with an ABBA party as classic as weird. Definitely an experience. I do not know what was in that Polish bowl, but my slight headache and the sickness of several guests tell their own story.

Old sins always come back, they say. One of them caught me now. My own course. Today started the new quarter for me with a new course: decision analysis 1, a course that I visited myself last year. At least from time to time. I remember the laborations were pretty cool, because I worked with Basti. But the lessons I can hardly remember. I think, I remember slides I did not really understand, but

So that was it. Halloween. After a preparty at Norrmalms all started similar to last year with snow, a huge queue in front of Kårhuset and Swedes who are already unable to walk straight before entering the party. After we entered they closed the doors, because Kårhuset was already full. With 200 hundred people as I heard. 200? On bartömmning they have usually 500 to 600. Why closing when the

Work goes quite well these days. Every day my thesis gets more text. I start now every morning at 9. Effectively at 10 or later, because before I do everything else than working: getting tea, checking mails, reading news and stuff like that. On Tuesday my students wrote my exam. Pretty cool thing. Yesterday I corrected it. Strange to see them in my situation from one year ago. These days are more

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.

Again Wednesday. Again thesis, again salsa. Tomorrow again Thursday, again salsa. Afterwards again Friday, again weekend. And all the time those moments "Damn, is it already one week ago?" Everything feels like yesterday. And if it does not feel like yesterday, it feels like eternity.But in all the routine are always specialties. Saturday to Sunday was Christians birthday party. The longest party

It is Monday morning, short before 11am. The view from my desk is directed to the window to a clear blue sky. The first snow from Thursday is gone since days. Most trees have lost their leves now. The remaining leaves lost their colors and present a palette of ocher-variances. In Sunsdvall most of the time seems to shine the sun.From Friday evening until Sunday night the Erasmus students (and me)

One of those days that turn everything around. The thesis is not as bad as I thought this morning, I had my last lecture today, surprsingly I will go to Kiruna in December (thanks to a personal hero), the first snow fall (three weeks earlier than last year!), I got postmail for the first time since weeks (and most lovely) and salsa was the an awesome lesson today. Almost everything went well. And

One of those days when you fight alone. One of those days when you think that nobody listens. One of those days when all enthusiasm is blown away. One of those days when you are tired to motivate yourself again. One of those days when you think "Why didn't I learn something useful?". One of those days when thesis just sucks. One of those days when the intersection of wish and rationality is an

After the amazing party on Tuesday had this week a second event to offer: Jens' birthday party. Because of the birthday surprise for Maritha two weeks before we were in need to make something special. We made pudding-shots with liquer 43 for him which he had to eat when he did not recognize a song in the "Bad-Taste Music Quiz". I feel so for the neighbours, but the party was really good. Prooves

After the great weekend returning to ordinary life - as far as you can call erasmus ordinary life - can be quite hard. Tuesday I had a lesson. Afterwards I saw my thesis starting at zero. Everything I planned so far based on the assumptions that users exist who I can interview. But there are none. That I know now. After almost two months. I was quite fed up with work. At 4pm was a Swedish movie

For not being stucked all alone in Sundsvall I joined the trip to Norway with Stefan, Sandra, Maritha, Ole, Hauke, Christian and Jens. And I do not regret a second. We stayed over the nights on a camping site in Trondheim and made day-tours from there. Saturday to the north hiking, Sunday to the South on an island. Monday to Trondheim itself, but it is not that pretty. The rest is undescribable.

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

As you can here in the last post, I survived my interview. Short before the interview I was asked by a colleage if I want to join a department-trip to Hassalar in the end of September. It is for a conference with a lot of fika and dinner. Of course, why not. And they want to make a second interview with me. This time in English, I guess, because it is for an advertisment paper of the university.

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 a perfect weekend I am looking forward to the first lecture tomorrow. I plan to go to university earlier to train all examples again. But for it is not so much stuff, we should be done in one hour, I guess.On Friday have we been in Kåren. It was well visited and we stayed, of course, until the end. Therefore, Saturday was very relaxing. We started with a brunch at Hauke's and Ole's place.

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,

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

At the moment it is a quite stressful, but amazing time. On Friday we have been on Alnö. The evening we went to the opening of Kåren and it was really cool. On Saturday there was a barbeque at Sidsjön. The way back we went through the forest with a shortcut over some tiny pathes. In the evening we went to Kåren again. The following afterparty last until half past 4 and I doubt to be able to go

Weekend in DalarnaI am back from a beautiful weekend in Dalarna. The lake near Orsa is amazing. You can walk a kilometer into the water without loosing ground beneath your foot. On my way back from Söderhamn my train was somehow not coming. Instead arrived a late train from half an hour before. I entered and was lucky not being checked by the controllers.Arrived back at Nacksta, I found a filled

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

Yesterday was the inofficial start of the 3rd erasmus semester because Jens arrived as the first of the new students. He even participated at the EILC in Falun! And guess what, he's our new flatmate! The main part of the new students will come this week. That the new students arrive means also that the last from the 1st and 2nd will leave. Today it was Benjamin's turn. The only good thing is that

Nacksta is getting empty. Before the last of us go did Jonny invite us for a good-bye-barbeque. We played ate really a lot (that's daily routine since I am back in Sweden; cakes and big meals almost every day). At the morning we had already a heavy breakfast at our flat and in the evening we had this huge barbeque in Svedje. With extra cake and pie. Afterwards we played frisbee, swam in the lake,

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

Sometimes in your life, their exist days which seem to overload your senses. Those days could be storyline for a movie. And this is definitely one of them.

This trip was worth its time. Now I am a little bit sick so we stayed at home today. But the past days we have been out every day. I've seen the town and in the evenings we have been in several pubs and bars. We even met Martin on Friday for a delicous dinner at his flat! On Saturday Basti and I went to the famous zoo of Leipzig. It was raining, but after a while the sun came threw in the evening

I arrived yesterday by plane in Leipzig and the flight took only 45 minutes. From the airport I travelled to the centre of Leipzig by train. Of course, my train left the station as soon as I made a footstep at the platform. Therefor I had to wait for the next one. If you ever travel the same way, be aware that the train, although it heads every time into the same direction, leaves from different

The last three weeks in Germany pass really fast. First I've been in Madrid as I wrote before. One of the, if not even the, best experiences this year. In the same week I traveled to Aachen met friends from my study program. It is interesting to see how everybody is doing. Some are at the same stage as I looking for a diploma thesis. Others are already finished. Like Basti (from Aachen, not from

Since more than three weeks I am back home in Germany. It happened not much. Going for a walk with the dogs, going to the cinema here, making a tour with the bike there aso. But this weekend I've been to Madrid to visit Cris and Gema. It was the first time I've been in Spain. I even have never been in France. And never in a big city like this. I guess, Stockholm has been the biggest. And it is so

Since Tuesday I am back in Germany (or like the Sweds would say: "Jörmänie"). Traveling home is not very interesting. You wait for your train, wait 3 hours until the train arrives in Arlanda, wait another 3 hours for the plane, wait 2 hours until the plane arrives in Cologne (Köln) and then you drive another hour to my home.And what do you do, when you come home? First: you eat bread. A real one.

Sunday, I went to Alnö again. This time we were Basti, Inga, Phil, Ulrich and me joining Ulrike, Lars-Peter and Petter. Thanks to Basti and Inga who gave us a lift in their car. We have been to the beach next to Tranviken which we have been at the day before. But the second beach is not as nice as Tranviken. The sand is not as soft, you have a lot of insects there and small black sandstones stick

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

Swedes never have problems with their flag. The swedish flag is pretty and they know it with pride. Therefore it is no surprise that you see every day swedish flags everywhere. When I came to Sweden I learned that there are some days known as "flag days". As the name implies at these days you hoist the Swedish flag. I wondered, how such a day could differ from other days, because they did not

I did it. Now everything is determined. At the 26th of June I will go home for a few weeks. That's earlier than initially planned, but I am looking forward to it. I avoided this time the Ybuss and Ryanair. The bus because of its exhausting way of traveling. More than 5 hours traveling just to wait another couple of hours in Stockholm. And Ryanair, because Ryanair just sucks. Ok, they are cheap.

This year of erasmus leads to its end. In Östersund as well as in Sundsvall. Some already have left Sundsvall, a lot will follow during this week and until in two weeks, I will be almost the only one who looks everyday at a white tower out of his window.Östersund faces the same. Only a few of the first semester had remained at all. Phil, Ulrich and I arrived at Saturday around 1pm and walked to

After the amazing weekend I slowed down at the beginning of the week. Today I did nothing more than reading in the living room and repairing Solenes computer. And I collected some pictures from Philipp and Sebastian and updated the blog entries of the past days with a few of them. I also added some to the Medelpaddeln-with-Gema and NorraBerget-gallery of last week.Still amazed by the last weekend

At saturday we stood up at 10 and went to the university for booking the train tickets for Gema which she needed on sunday. We wanted to go to university anyway because there happened this years Medelpaddeln. The task at Medelpaddeln is for two team to canoe approximatly 100 meters upstream to the lower bridge, climb a latter, handshake with a person on the bridge and get back as first team to

The waiting on Thursday had an end at 6pm. A familiar voice shouting "Markuuus" and "Philiiip" outside instead of ringing the door bell indicated that our little Gema had arrived. We spend the whole evening with talking and being happy she made this incredible trip to Sundsvall.I stood up today at half past 9. I woke up Gema when I tried to close the door to the living room, because I wanted to

I stayed at home on wednesday. It was my tactic to respond to the weather I mentioned before. At home I could read and see the sun at the same time. I read a part of the second article which I have to criticize. According to the feedback from Love who is the professor of this course I shall focus more on the content. The last time I criticized mainly the structure.In the evening I went out with

Weather in Sundsvall is very strange. Since 2am you have a bright blue sky. At 5am you wake up because the sun shines directly on your bed you you feel far to warm. During the day it is sunny so you can lie next to the river and enjoy it during your lunch break. After lunch more and more clouds appear and when you finish work at university in the afternoon the clouds are heavy, dark and deep und

On saturday I read a little bit about knowledge acquisition and in the evening I went to cinema with Philipp and Pet(t)er watching Spiderman3. For my taste, an acceptable movie, but I like part 1 and especially part 2 more, for their dramatic background story appear less constructed. At the third part you have too much of everything. To many evil guys, to much patriotism and to much "

Friday morning I went to Kulturmagasinet by bicycle, because I had a role in Sorana's movie. My designation was "Fan #2" and I had to get a signature in my favorite book from my favorite author while he was presenting them in the library. But first, I had to stand in a queue. But in contrast to Mathieu's movie two weeks ago, I had to look excited. It was interesting to see how the film crew

I am becoming better. Yesterday I felt like in slow-motion. I made a walk to the town with Julia and in deed some fresh air made me feel better. And what do you do, if you are at home? Schoolwork? Homework? No. Somehow, the time vanishes and all you have done is cooking. And because cooking just enough for yourself is never easy you cook more for freezing it. You can do it like Philipp who

Second day that I staid at home. My headache is gone, but my throat hurts. Something seems to travel around. Everybody is infected with something. I converted my article to OpenOffice for I have no MS Word at home. I am not very sad about that. The result in Word looks better, but OO is better to control. At least those parts I know. Nothing more happened today. Ah yes, I had some thoughts about

I slept long today. When I woke up, Sundsvall looked like my head feels: foggy. I think, I could not see the tower at the Norra berget once this day. Heavy clouds are hanging deep and I can just watch until ICA. Everything is wet and it rains from time to time. This is how I know Sweden from holidays. But I felt a little bit better today, but not well enough. I just blogged my entry about

Friday was a wasted day. I felt sick and was not able to follow my article. Not a good sign for the weekend I was waiting for since more than 2 month.Saturday we started to Stockholm. Because our train would be back just at midnight of Sunday, we went to the train station by bicycle at half past 7 in the morning and chained them on a fence. Arrived at Stockholm we brought our luggage to the ship

We had our last meeting with Ella on Wednesday. Since I will come back to Sweden in August our good-bye was not as final as for the others. This last happening was served with cake and coffee. Afterwards we watched two movies: "Livet är en schlager" and "Mupparna i rymden". Because of this long cinema session I was not able to work sufficient at my report. But I got my bicycle repaired!

At the moment everybody has trouble to sleep. We are tired the whole day and during the night we cannot sleep for long. The brightness is likely the reason. But there exist these days where everything happens just perfect. Not really perfect. But very good with a touch of life's chaos. And such a day was today.After yesterday was a usual always-tired Monday I went to bed still at half past 1am

Salsa party was good. Since a long time, Philipp and I made an own trip during a night again. Therefore, since a long time again: a gallery on his site! The band "Calle Real" was great and we enjoyed the music until the official end of 2am. Philipp and I skipped the afterparty, because we were already tired, although the afterparty promised to become special for Calle Real joined it. However, we

Week past by more quickly than I wished. No wonder. It were only three days. On Wednesday I went out around 8pm searching for the beaver. And indeed, as I had assumed it swam downstream at this time coming from the lake. I waited at the bridge again and took a lot of pictures, but not even one was acceptable. The light has been already to dark. But I made a movie of it and it is quite good

Since one or two weeks have we discovered some strange things at the river. Loud splash-sounds at the water when we go late along the river, strange cutted trees, branches without bark, even next to the university, and something big diving at night close beneath the water surface. Of course, that sounds like a beaver, but for receiving an evidence for the connection between these discoveries, I

All my mail-profiles gone, programs do not start anymore, firefox lost all his personal data, folders unaccessable and neither a foreign process nor a virus found.

Nacksta is empty in these days. Most of the students have left to Uppsala where they celebrate a huge 3-days-student party. Although I like party, this is not what I want. Anyway, I tried this weekend my luck at Sundsvall. Last night I stayed at home, because I thought nobody would go to the salsa-party. Instead I watched a movie at 18a.Today was the 30th of April. At this day the swedish seem

I apologize for my delay in posting news. The second semester will only last one more month and after that people will leave to their homecountries. As far as I can say this does not count for me. It turned this week that I will be most likely stay for at least one additional semester. But I did not sign anything until now.The week is quick told.

While I unsuccesfully tried the whole saturday to rest a little bit for being prepared for another party night, I decided in the evening, I would not need any rest. The best is going out. You can sleep afterwards well in every case. According to rumors there shall be rock music on saturdays at Liquidbar. Therefore we went to Liquid, but they had just the common everywhere music that's why we

I did not make much this week. I received an answer for my article topic. It is good, but I should focus on Decision Support Systems, because otherwise it would be too much. Decision Support Systems... the topic I wanted to scratch at last. I will go on Expert Systems pointing instead.Thursday morning I rapidly made my swedish homework. I wrote a summary about "större dagsvärmare". The summary

Would a wonderful day. I went to bed last evening earlier than usual and woke up one hour before my alarm clock. I forgot the article specification at home, so I had to rewrite it once again. I've chosen "Solving limited rationality with knowledge engineering" as a quite general topic. I specificated some sub topics as general techniques, expert systems, agents and decision support systems which

Time passed quickly. Again are 4 days gone and I cannot really say what I have done. Thursday I read some papers Aron gave me, but I think I will go into an own topic. Perhaps, I can work to towards his suggestions. But for me expert systems are more interesting than stochastical tit for tat. In the evening was 3 hours salsa. It was so exhausting. After only one hour everybody was tired, because

Although I was the whole day at the library reading wired stuff about decision support systems and getting 4 suggestions for master thesis, I am facing the most active week of my semester abroad. Since jogging on friday, climbing at Norra Berget at saturday, (wakling at sunday, ) BodaBorg at monday, jogging at tuesday, streetdance at wednesday, 3 hours salsa at thursday and Rock'N'Roll at friday.

The easter weekend was a good opportunity for several partys. It started with thursdays black-and-white party for Celine's birthday and went on with a fridays pizza party at the italian flat with a lot of dancing. Saturday was relatively quite, because everybody was already exhausted from the two big partys the days before. And finally at sunday Ionut celebrated his birthday above Wayne's Coffee

The new block has started and I am registered for my probably last course of my studies. It is a distance course an consists of writing an article about a self chosen topic. We have no guideline which topic to choose. Yesterday I read a few pages in a course-literature. It is a book from one of our lecturers. They should have advised us this book a few month before instead of this official

The weekend was pretty. Saturday I had my usual 11am-laundry. In the afternoon I slept recharging from the mask party. And I needed to be recharged, because Nadja had invited to a preparty before the evenings salsa party at town, so Ulrich, Philipp, Sebastian, Nawelle and I went to her. At the end of the preparty we played a funny game. You can see the pictures at Philipp's gallery. It seems to

The only official pictures made Philipp. For all others, you have to member of facebook.Tonight will be a salsa-party. I have slight headache, don't know why.

Somehow I am very happy at the moment. I guess, it is the spring. Something has changed in my mind and I am happy without any reason. I enjoy the sun while walking to university. I have my camera with me, because I suddenly received back my mood for looking for motives. Yesterday I prepared a presentation for swedish. It was about the EILC. First about what a EILC is and afterwards about the EILC

But I was just fet up with this stuff, so I send it in, after I had everything done. I had 5 hours left, but I did not see any chance to improve the paper.

"At least the bartenders should be worth the entrance..." Forget the Kårhuset. I do not know what is up with this house. Perhaps it is the duration of my abroad that I experience the Kårhuset as boring now. But wasn't it more fun last semester? The parties were bigger and I was almost never bored. And now... just one good party at Kårhuset in 3 month. That's weak. Philipp and me feel like getting
