Back in Aken

It took me only 5 weeks. I already spent the week at my brother's place in Aachen. But since today, I have my own room in a new appartment. I moved into a flat with two girls as flatmates. They are not at home over the weekend, so I will see how flat-life looks like on Monday. My room is bigger and nicer than my room in Sundsvall. But especially the last days I miss my tiny little room. Somehow everything seemed easier just a few weeks ago. But maybe it is just the usual melancholism ex-erasmus people have from time to time.
My room has yellow walls with two big windows. But it is empty. Only a big cupboard. My bed will arrive tomorrow and since my matrace became wet on the way to the house, I will maybe sleep on the floor tonight, but I do not think so. It dries fast and I can stay awake for some more time. So, tomorrow I will get my bed and a shelf. That will have to be all my furnitures for at least the next 4 weeks.
Today I found out that I can participate at university's sports as Swedish student, too. So I do not have to pay extra. On Tuesday I will start working at Atos. And I am looking forward.
Last week was the strangest weather. Sunny moments and snowstorms changed frequently and several times a day. Once I went cycling, but after 15 minutes I had to quit, because the sun was gone and due to heavy ice-snow I could not see anything anymore. But since a few days it is only raining.

Back to the roots

After three weeks home things become more clear. I will work in Aachen for my master thesis. I gave it up to go to Brussels, since the company messed it up. First they talked about a possible real job with full payment. After more than one week waiting they offered me a giant project. I was happy. But they wanted me to do it for free during an internship. 7 months. No accomodation, no salary, but meal vouchers. When I said, I am looking for a real job, they said I would not be sufficiantly experienced. But for an internship doing the same job I was experienced enough... Luckily I had this very good opportunity in Aachen. The project is much nicer, too. So, back to the roots. Coming back to Aachen means also looking for a flat. Since my lonely year in Aachen and the amazing flatmates in Sundsvall I know, I do not want to live alone the next few months. Today I have my first appointments for inspecting flats. I even have some favorites, but I am a little bit insecure, since I did not sig...

Old man

At the weekend I drove to Philipp in Dörenthe for celebrating his birthday. It took a while until I found his house, because as soon as the village starts it ends. Took a while to figure out that most of the houses around than actually in the village. However, after joyful and relaxed driving I reached my goal and met also Solène and Sebastian there. It was like time had never passed. We told so many stories and there are enough left for the next 5 days, when they are coming to Aken. It turned out that my moving out was not so urgent as the landlord told me. First it was a trick counting on kindness, because he told new renters a totally different story than me. However, with this story he scared the 3 guys off who wanted to rent the apartment, since they did not trust him anymore. I for myself think, he is ok, but I better do not believe in any surprising thing he tells me. All that counts is the contract. But I figured out that I have time to cancel my flat until October. Therefore I...

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...
