Erasmus Reunion in Aken

These weeks are stressy. I did not sleep without an alarm since weeks. The weeks are always busy with things I have to do. And besides all the duty all free time that is left I spent in nice things to compensate lonely flat life. But lonely flat life will be over soon. Next weekend the first boy will move in. He and his girlfriend were here last Tuesday to say hello. I already got more on one level with him than with the former flatmates. When he left he pointed on my not-so-little arsenal of empty bottles and set "When I come back, we have to drink some welcome beers". That's the spirit I missed!!! The second boy will move in in two weeks and also seems to be smart and opened. Although I am always naiv in every beginning, I believe this will become a cool time.
Work became more and more stress. I got stucked at one task and now I am in delay. But today I could finally finish it. The remaining two days of my shorter working week, I will have to integrate the new code and move the office. Because today, I got the news, that my office moves to another room in the building. With nice view to the Eifel. Realy beautiful. Funny thing: both my colleages are either on holiday or on a meeting in Paris. So guess, who will have to move all the stuff... at least a task, I can finally manage by my own. But I already overtook the place of the colleage in holidays, because he will have the best view. At least for the next 3 weeks I can enjoy it while working.
On Friday I drove to Mechernich in order to bring back the car that I had needed for my Friesland trip. On Saturday I came back to Aken, because I expected Anne, Ward and Christian. We went out for dinner first, visited a cocktail bar afterwards and ended up in a club with an 80s party until 3 in the morning. It was pretty cool. A lot of dancing, but most important singing. It was so damn hot in there (in the sense of temperature). The way back to my flat took a while, because we had to eat something. Christian and I ended up in a competition who eats the hottest sausage (in the sense of spicy). He got the "super hot" version while I took the "Auuuuuha" version. Limited to people above the age of 18. That was the hottest food I've ever eaten. And what they say is really really true. It burns twice. For every bite.
One of my not-moved-in flatmates offered for that night already his room, so we did not have any space problems. On Sunday we went to the city, drank a coffee and in the afternoon we seperated again. Ward went to Spain, Anne went back to Bonn and Christian stayed here. Today I had to work, while Christian went to Köln for a daytrip and a concert. A pitty I have to move the office tomorrow, because otherwise I would have considered to go with him to Maastricht, since the weather is supposed to be nice. But like this he has to take care of himself until Wednesday. And at the night to Thursday we will head to Italy. A one week trip with meeting a lot of people again.

Nägel mit Köpfen

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
