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.

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...
