Maja and I took a walk to Old Linköping. The old houses were pretty with all the snow. It was like a idyll. A choir was singing and there was a scent of suger coated almonds in the air from one of the market stands (you could also smell fish from one, but that is another story).

The best buy was a pair of gloves that you can wear down to -30. I was tired of getting cold hands. Now I am ready for a really cold Winter!

I got up extra early to suprise Anna-Giulia with a cake.
I did not have any candles but there is one physalis for each year :)

When I was going home today after the last lecture my lock to the bike had frozen. The key went in and all but I was unable to turn it. I gave up quite quickly becauce my hands became really cold, which made it harder. I was far from the only one with the same problem, but some lucky bastards where able to ride their bikes home in the snow. I wonder what kind of locks they have, maybe they had some special tric or perhaps they just are stronger than me. Anna-Giulia thought we should invent a new lock that works no matter the what weather it is.

Hopefully the record will not be broken.

Tree huts were so much more fun than linear algebra. I miss green leaves as well. Everything is brown now. It is Christmas soon though :)

 
I found these when I was googleing De Stijl for an scetching assignment. Using and combining different shapes (haha, we are moving forward, two weeks ago we did cubes, last week we draw cylinders), we are supposed to design a piece of jewelry inspired by a specific style. The shoes really inspires me. I think that I might go with De Stijl.

I am laying in my bed trying to decide whether is ok or way too late to watch Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy. There is always so many things that I rather do than sleep. I was not supposed to start until 10 tomorrow morning, but then our project group decided to meet at 8 anyway. Maybe I can watch half an episode ;)

Today we got up at 5:30(!) to go to school and line up in order to get tickes for a party next weekend. But when we came no one was here, so I guess that we would not have had to be that early. At least we are the first ones in the line. The tickets will be released at noon, so here we are sitting.

My number one. Haha :P

Coffee is really growing on me. It is interesting how you can change your mind about things over time. The last year I have become very found of café latte. Since I started here at the univercity I have been going to the local café, Baljan, filling up my thermos mug with coffee (and some milk) several times a week. Today I had a cup without milk, and liked it! Grown up points, right?!

Finally :)

"Du har en fin cykel" means you have a nice bike.  Is like an intern joke because everyone here uses their bikes to get around. It think that it was one of the first Swedish scentences they learned.

I took the bus to Motala to hang out with my uncle and cousin for the night. It was a lot of fun to catch up with them again. I had not been to Motala since I moved out.

When I got home I decided to make soup even though it was late. My flatmate had aready gone to bed. I hope I did not wake her up with the noice from the kitchen. I do not think that I ever have made soup by myself before so it was a lot of fun. I am excited to bring it with me for lunch tomorrow :)

Our program does no work :(

Tonight we got pankakes. I need to learn to eat less prior to the fika because I always get so full.

When the German exchange students leave in January Anna-Giulia cannot pay all the rent herself and my living is temporarary. Right now we have two options. I can either move in in the four bedroom apartment where she already is living, and find two more people, or we can move in, just the two of us, in a two bedroom apartment. We cannot decide. Both apartments are good. The rent differs a little but not much, one of the apartments has a dishwasher while the other one has a balcony.
