Hejsan allihoppas,
In 3 hours my parents are leaving Germany for a few days and come to visit me. Beforehand it was a quite busy time the last days. But one thing after another. On last week tuesday my project in the local ATLAS group died eventually due to scientific reasons. It turned out to be not really promising to keep track on the approach I was facing. However it took numerous hours to get the code and the analysis finally proceeded and in Science a result providing no further investigations is also at least a result. Since this I am standing by for new orders by my project leader. Meanwhile the new semester started with rather busy courses I take. One of them is relativistic quantum mechanics and I have to admit, I don't like residual calculus really much... However I need to catch up with the content of the course - and I'm convinced that I will do this. The last results from my previous courses are still pending thus i don't really know at present how the last term was in total. Eventually I can see it was too busy. :)
Here in Uppsala new students arived now, friends are leaving or have left - I met again to a close friend of mine - finally we had fika as promised to each other last year and now a lot of new students are introducing themselves here in Uppsala during nice parties. :) Back in Uppsala I continue with my new "Uppsala-only" hobby - fixing my bike - no matter how cold it is (less than -4 °C during the night) and I'm still repairing friend's bikes as well.
Back in Uppsala means also back to the choir. Since I'm member of the choirboard this produces nice sideeffects from time to time such as "syrelsemöter", (formal) meetings at someone's place where we eat together and discuss about the plans for this term. During the last styrelse we did some advertisement for our choir - surprisingly I had the chance to took brush and colours out and "paint" a poster... A nice way to spend the saturday evening ;) But afterwards I have been to a party as well.
Since the future is rather unclear I appreciate to know at least about the next few days. At 8.20 local time my parents will arive at Arlanda, passing through the Sky City of the airport - a surreal place where you could believe that you took some drugs - as I did half a year ago. Then we will have some nice fika, talk a lot and visit some nice places - such as Gamla Uppsala as well as Uppsala itself but a planned destination is the capital, Stockholm (hopefully the weather remains nice) and probably a silver-mine not far away from Uppsala.
In preparation for the visit I had to deal with a problem of a special kind... Since I changed all my bank accounts before I came back in january I had no longer any access to my accounts neither could I took any money off using my card. However I wanted to present some nice dishes to my parents as well as I was supposed to buy some bedclothes. And I had 500 SEK to do this- however I did it! :) Hope they like it...
Stay in touch / kramar och puss från Sverige!
