Leipzig

On Wednesday the 5th, after spending some nice hours in Magdeburg (thanks to Tim and Andy for taking some time to meet me for lunch), I moved to Leipzig to start my internship. Well, moving is maybe not the right term. Since I still don’t have an apartment. I am staying at the moment in a youth hostel until I find a flat. Shouldn’t take so long, I hope. I looked at a room today in which I could move in next week. I will look at some other place tomorrow and decide but the room I looked at today is much cheaper and with the money I save I could buy a new laptop in case my old one cannot be repaired.

So I started my internship on Thursday and after 2 days I can say I like it. Everybody is super nice and although I didn’t do a lot during the first 2 days, the next weeks will be busy. Got 3 assignments 20min before my day ended on Friday. :D Perfect timing. But I will have a lot of research to do and that is something I always enjoyed.

That's more or less all I can say about my internship, at least in a blog. If anybody wants details please email me. :)

Sturmfrei! :)

So my parents are for 2 weeks on the Canary Isles which means I can finally do what I want to do. And today it was this:



So let's hope it will make it in one piece to Magdeburg. But before I go to the b-day party of a good friend, I will go to a local ski jumping competition in the neighboring city. Will be interesting. I hope. A friend will be the stadium commentator and i haven't been to that ski jump yet, just saw is from far away. And unfortunately I missed the Nordic combined summer grand prix this year :'( Well and, of course, one should support the local kids :D So a lot of reasons to watch crazy kids doing an insane sport :D

Visit to Magdeburg

So, after a few days with my parents I 'escaped' for a day to my University town Magdeburg. I have to admit it was one of the best days since I returned. I had the chance to meet many good friends, eat ice cream and having a little bbq. A really great day, till I arrived back at my parents place than the nagging started again. ;)

That visit was full of very funny conversations I had with different people. When you meet with 3 fellow political science students (or former students) after 5min you talk about politics and what is just happening at the moment in the world economy. That happened with the same people at my goodbye party and was just funny to see that we did the same thing when we met for an ice cream this time. I guess we all studied the right thing after all. Who would have thought that about me? ;)
With friends I met outside the university the first thing we talk about was the women football world champs. Well i didn't talk about it just listened because i didn't care but it was just funny to see how different people are and what topics people think about. Good that we all are so different! :D

So thanks to all the people who had some time for me while I was in Magdeburg! Hope to see you all very soon again!

52 days left

So with just 52 days left till I go to Finland I finally booked my flight today. Like 5 years ago I will fly directly to Turku which will make it a little easier for my sleeping arrangements. :) Well and I wasn't so keen on sleeping again at a train station. Did that too often in the past 3 years. ;) Let's just hope my luggage won't get lost in Copenhagen where i have to change planes.

By now the whole planning and organizing is going well. I enrolled at Åbo Akademi, terminated my rental agreement, applied for a flat in Turku (still waiting for an offer), booked the flight now and will start organizing my 'good bye party' tonight. :D

Yesterday was my last day at university so I'm now just writing essays all day long. Well in between the World Cup matches at least. ;) But if Brazil goes home today I'll have again a lot of time for my essays. :/

The last week at uni was sort of weird. Saying goodbye to teachers and fellow students with whom I had so many good courses and memories in general. But it was really nice to see all the excitements and joy after I told everybody about my scholarship. It feels good to know that so many people are happy for me. :) I'll hope I meet as many nice people in Turku again as i meet here in Magdeburg.
