I am home now ... alive and pretty tired, I must say. I still have much of unpacking and adapting to do and I have to get the final documents to give them to my home university but I can write now that this chapter ...

So this is it ... I am returning to Slovenia today, just some final details and I am off. It would be appropriate for the occasion to write some final words but I have some cleaning left to do so I will just ...

This was my first Christmas outside Slovenia. It was also the first Christmas that I have not spent according to the catholic tradition (lot of visits to the church ... ). Nevertheless the Christmas spirit was high ... if I exclude a mild headache on ...

It has become almost a tradition to me that I send a home-made greeting card to lots of people that I know. Because of the amount of people that I want to send it to, physical distances and my knack to do things in the last minute (this year I ...

And here we are ... the winter solstice. I had some plans to spend it in Kiruna (above the arctic circle) to experience the all-day darkness, but things don't always (almost never) go the way I want them to go.

Santa Lucia celebration in the morning at 7:00 ... thats way off my current schedule. Of course change in my monochrome lifestyle doesn't hurt (or does it !?) and I even had a chance to taste mulled wine Swedish style (= very very ...

I had my last mandatory lecture today ... the only thing left for me here now is one home exam and some bureaucracy... and as I am writing this: It has been exactly four months now since I came to Luleå.

Friday, 8th of December 2006 AD - day 120

Today's farewell dinner was just another reminder of how lonely a person can get if he (or she, but that is not the case here) does not party regularly. I have spend a great deal of it trying to give impression ...

Not much going on these days. Actually I feel kind of bored from time to time, but is not that bad. Since I only have one mandatory course I have a lot of time for my hobbies and personal projects. I am drawing again but I think I will not ...
