School is getting interesting again (the last course was less I think). I’m now preparing a research about time, investigating how people spend their time in between the things they do. I hope to get something more about possible ‘doing nothing’ time.
The last few weeks I’ve noticed that I look differently at the trip to school, at doing shopping, at walking in the city. I finally start to see this as normal. Before it was still my study abroad. Now this way to school has become my way to school, this city became my city. I feel at home, I think.
On the right is a part of that life. On my way to school the air was on fire. Oh, btw, another fire that was part of the life here, was Valborg. The Swedish helgdagar (holiday) on the 30th of April.
From one of the first books about intercultural interactions:
Strangeness is no longer a temporary condition to be overcome, but a way of life.
