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.

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...
