First trip for company

I finally got a supervisor from Mittuniversitetet. After three months I at least got a guide, but still did not have a real topic. Atos wants me to be productive in the project, of course. The drawback for me until now was, that being productive meant: straight forward programming. There was not really room for an investigation or anything academical and I cannot just make a protocol about what I work. But since today I think I have a topic. It serves thesis' requirements and Atos' requirements. The next step will be, to get enough time for the thesis work, since I could easily work all day long on the project without doing anything for thesis.
Then I got to know a big surprise today. Next week on Thursday, I will travel to Paris for Atos. Of course not alone, but it is my first trip for Atos. Besides that it will be my first journey to France, but I do not expect to see anything more then metro and office. I will have to be before 6am at Atos in the morning and I will travel back from Paris in the late afternoon. But instead of going back to Aken I will travel directly into holidays. I will finally arrive Saturday evening in Sundsvall. Vad kul!
But I will have to work a lot to be prepared for Paris. Additionally I have to buy something neat for the conference. Most likely I will rather look like a clown. During this weekend I will most likely go back to Mechernich again to catch some stuff of my old flat. Since my flatmates move out, I am surprised from time to time what is already packed. Today I had to eat spaghetti with tea spoons. Takes a little bit longer than with a fork and it should better be done in a bathroom, since it is easier to clean.
Yesterday I watched the awesome soccer match Netherlands - Italy via video stream. My stream had a delay of 1 minute which I found out during the first goal. My neighbours were celebtrating one minute before the goal. After that I had a relaxed soccer-evening, because as long as I did not hear my neighbours getting angry, I could be sure, Italy would be harmless in front of the Dutch goal, no matter how dangerous it might look at the moment on my screen.
For the next post I will try to get some pictures, although I do not know yet, what I could make pictures of here. I will figure something out.

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...

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...

Or are we dancers

My erasmus winter semester 2007 met in Sundsvall during the last weekend. Although I did not even spend 48 hours in Sundsvall it was toally worth money, time and effort to go there. I arrived on Friday evening, met the Spanish girls at Wayne's coffee, had dinner and then we awesomely partied in O'Learys. On Saturday we had brunch in the city, I visited Jonny and Marzena and joined the others later on for skiing near Sidsjön. Saturday evening we had a preparty at Johan's place and invaded later on the good old K århuset where I finally met Sebastian and Solène, too. It is quite funny to see the connections between the different erasmus semesters. After a good long sleep on Sunday morning we met again in the city for brunch, but only shortly, because the Dutchs and me had to leave at 12. They dropped me off at the trainstation. On the way we figured that I would only have 10 minutes between arrival of the train and closing of the check-in. When I had booked trains and flights...
