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.

MFG

I think, I had a first day that is usual for a first day in computer business. Of course, I was 20 mintues too late, because the village of the company was surprisingly bigger than one street and I ended up somewhere in nowhere. Luckily Micha could pick me up. What a start. Next getting a card at the entrance. I am not in the system, so I get a one-day entrance card. Maybe tomorrow I am already registered. Afterwards I met a lot of people, learned a lot of names. At Atos you call each other with the first name (not so usual for distance-loving Germany). And now I have an idea why they hired me. I think I met 50 people, but they had only 10 different names. Maybe they hire people because of their names. Almost everybody seems to be called Wolfgang, Peter, Stefan, Michael, and - of course - Markus. Getting to know a lot of people also means to learn about a lot of different projects. And a lot of technical terms I never heard of before. Until 12 my head was full of technical terms and cr...

Piacenza, Parma and Castell Arquato

The night was interesting, because we did not have beds where we could sleep. I woke up several times at night, because owls or something were screaming from the roof of a nearby building. Once I woke up and scared a small dog that did not realize me up to the moment it stood next to me. It ran away. I wanted to whistle, but a mosquito had bit me in my lips, therefore I could not make a sound and scared the poor little creature maybe even more. Once it started to rain a little bit, so I moved my benches under a tree, but it did not rain anymore that night. Around 6 I felt very cold and could not sleep anymore. When I scared the first pedastrians away, I thought it is time to stand up. We felt bad. The day before had been so hot that our clothes were filthy of sweat. At least we had some water to wash ourselves a little bit. But we were longing for a shower. So we drove back to Piacenza hoing to find a tourist information who could explain us the detailed way to a hostel. Piacenza is a ...

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...
