A new hope is arising




Hejsan,
just before sleeping a few hours - damn, it is quite late :) I want to congratulate to the next President of the most powerful country in the world. Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. Yes, we can! Please, show us how! Of course this would be not even easier for Europeans to decline partizipation in Afghanistan - but although We are actually acting very active in Afghanistan - especially in the rebuilding. I hope for a new better time - for America and the rest of the world.

Summary about the last few weeks

Hejsan,
I'm quite sorry but I was really busy the last few weeks, although the first period is just finished now. To catch up, i will give here a short summary about the last 3 weeks. At some later time I hope to upload some photos to that blog such you can watch as well :)

Well, after my first working time at Kalmar (the previous post in swedish) there was one really special event the next week. It was also a first time - my first time I baked a cake. Therefore I can highly recommend you http://www.arla.se where you can find a lot of very delicious recipes. I made a "svensk blåbärrulltort", which means a very fluffy cake filled with blueberrys and whipcream. This was my contribution to our famous choir day on Saturday, 18.10.2008. From the very morning 10 a.m. to the next night 3.40 a.m. I spent my time at Kalmar nation and we sung a lot, had a lot of fun, and of course we drunk something. There we had also potmeal, which means everybody has brought something with and it has been shared to everybody else. After that day (just two days before my first exam in advanced quantum mechanics) I was both, happy and sad... happy and a bit tired from the experiences of the choir-day and a bit sad due to the little time to prepare for the exam on tuesday. Therefore I had previously decided to use the beginning of Saturday (4.30 am till 8.30) to prepare a bit. It was suitable, although I've spent the whole Sunday (after sleeping too long :) ) and the rest of monday on preparation. Indeed, the exam was neither very hard nor very much. It was a fair exam but it was my first in english, thus this was a bit special and it was my first 5-hours exam. This is the usual way here in Uppsala, but you never need all the time. I was almost finished after 2 hours. But I spent a bit more time on thinking about one certain crappy problem... I passed with distinction, but as I said, it was nothing really serious. The next exams will be harder - I guess. Thereafter the first period was over.

A few days earlier I have been invited by a couple of friends of mine to make a trip to Tallin, it would exceed this post to write something about it, just one thing. It was definitely great!!! Beforehand I was in Flogsta, experiencing the all-days-scream 10 p.m. and cooking with some friends and thereafter we went together to my first corridor-party in Kantorn. We arrived at 2 and I left the party at 4.30 (or was it 5)??? Doesn't matter :) Why this is special you could ask-- well, because usually club-parties and nation-events open at 8 and close between 1 and 2... But corridorparties are quite different. Loud, nice and "unleashed". On Saturday I went to "Die Zauberflöte" or even in Swedish (as I've watched it) Trollflöjten, my first swedish opera. It was completely great. I have to do this again...

Finally on Sunday we met each other at 1 p.m. at Centralstation to start our (Booz)-Trip :) to Tallin, the capital of Estonia. But this is another story. But indeed I can post a few pictures as well (from the ferry and no, the two guys are neither twins nor gay, they are just f*** drunken)
So far for now... But i promise to write something about that trip and upcoming stuff as soon as possible. Hope you still enjoy reading that stuff.

Welcome to my very first blog...

... I'll send you a warm and nice hello and welcome to my very first blog. I want to invite you to explore "my world" while reading and / or posting. The title may not as clear to everybody as it should. This blog is about the time I'm going to spend in Sweden. I will be there from September this year up to June next year. And, in this blog I see a way to write down my experiences.

I will try to write only in english, allthough my mother tongue is german. But of course in Sweden I want to learn Swedish so, from time to time, I will post something in swedish too.

Please, let me know, how you like this blog and what are you interested in while reading.

So far...
