I finished my report for the HKU about the period in Sweden. I also want to make some structure in the blogg. Therefore I have put all messages in four categories, based on what my first teacher there wrote about studying in another country.

an academic journey
a cultural journey
an intellectual journey
and an emotional journey

Next to these [...]

Clearly recognizable, not from someone close (not close physically, although close to the heart). Thanks for the card and the candy :)
I’ve been doing a lot of things this week, but mainly I’ve reorganized my room. The mess I left before I went to Sweden was still there and with all the dust having their [...]

I’m back in an old place. Everything stayed the same, I don’t recognize it anymore.
Luckily, not everything stayed the same. People changed. And that is good – the first lecture in Sweden they already ‘warned’ for coming back and you’ve changed but nobody else did, which leaves you with a complete changed view on the [...]

Next to that I’m not using a clock anymore, I also start forgetting which day and date it is. Not for a day, but for weeks now, I don’t really have an idea of the calendar anymore. I do of the events, but not of the date itself. Another thing is that I don’t have [...]

A new course started this week, Conflict and Stress Management. We’re having lectures three times a week, a bit more practical than the previous courses. I like that, I can use some down-to-earth things with other things (read Frida :)) going sky-high. I have to get used to this teacher a bit, the atmosphere in [...]
