Second week home

The last 2 weeks felt very short. Thanks to my busy schedule. But now everything is done I do not know how to kill time. All I do is waiting. Weekends are the worst. When you live on the countryside where all friends have left already years before, your only entertainment is the TV. And television in Sweden is bad, but Germany is even worse. But I hope that I can soon start to new interviews abroad, so it would be finally going on somehow.
The question is, if I can leave this town. Suddenly the winter is back and cars get stucked in the snow. Everybody has to stay at home today, because our part of the town does not have clear streets and since German cars do not have spike-tires the cars cannot get up any hill. Especially not these mountains. Only in the last 6 hours fell approximatly 20 centimeters of snow. And it is still snowing. We already had spring since weeks! Yesterday my mother cutted the hedge, because soon is breeding time of birds, so hedges are protected by law.
Ohja, I passed my final exam. The grade is even pretty good. But it does not feel very different than before the exam. I had hardly anything to do with my home university since one and a half years. Not depending on them anymore is not anything new. But when I walked yesterday through the university for getting last signatures from authorities, everybody congratulated and asked what I am going to do now. And now when it becomes a little bit more real every moment that I can go everywhere I want, working finally on something useful, I become a little bit excited. My interview in Aachen went well. The project I would work on is very international - like I wished for. Now I wait for the responses from Netherlands and Belgium to decide where to go. But Aachen is very tempting and became more than just a compromise. At the moment it feels like a win-win-situation. But until then I still have to wait.

I tried it already once in February, but changed my mind. But now finally I am that tired of writing a blog for everybody, that I quit it. It's more a principle thing I am tired about. Thanks to all (both) responses pushing me to continue my blog a few weeks ago, but it really does not make sense anymore. For the few who liked it, we are in contact anyway (excl. mijn anonieme vriend van Friesland; ik denk dat je anonimiteit moet opgeven, als je verder informeerd zijn wil: facebook, hyves of een biertje indien ik kom naar Friesland - en deeze keer mer conversatie dan alleen "hi" ;-) A bit statistics: this blog has 53 posts in 14 months. Most visitors came from Germany (798), Netherlands (732) and Sweden (210). Keyword that was used most to google my blog: "officina del mare brescia" (I think, earned another free dinner for good publicity, hahaha). Anyway, I had some new ideas for the blog the last days. More back to the roots, because in basic this blog was supp

EILC 2008

In the end I want to publish something that might be of special interest for those who spend the EILC 2006 with me in Härnösand . Midsweden University officially has an EILC 2008 this year!! EILC stands for Erasmus Intensive Language Course. In 2007 Miun skipped it. The old EILC 2006 page is deleted and new site of this year's course is http://www.miun.se/eilc/ . Looks quite similar to our starting page two years ago. Only Björn is now Johanna (check personal staff). And they could have at least published new pictures from Hans and Ella. The new course is going to start in 2 weeks. If I imagine I would have stayed in Sundsvall as first planned, I would welcome the EILC students on their Campus trip... funny. I had no idea when was at their place . But since I only linked my pictures at that time to Hans EILC page, I have to repair my articles from August 2006 now, because all pictures are lost, of course. Luckily I saved at least those from the blog somewhere. But does anyboday h

Almost master

These are my final days as student, for the trip to Sundsvall was a success. When Ulrich (surprise-guest) and I arrived in Sundsvall on Friday evening, it was too warm for snow and the streets were clear. But during the presentation next morning, it started to snow. Since then I have been in a snowy winterland. The weekend was beautiful. I somehow passed the presentation, I just need to make some corrections. Because of holidays it will take until February until I can apply for the master degree - until I receive it, it may take weeks or even months of bureaucracy. Anyhow, it is nothing that needs much effort, but patience. Sundsvall is pretty much the same like last February. They reconstruct the outdoor swimming pool to a kind of adventure pool and the campus at the university gets a new building. I was able to do everything that I wanted to do: A lonely night walk on the tiny paths in the woods while it was snowing and visiting Norra Berget and Alnön again. Sandra and Ulli have th
