Back at Starbucks...

...but their coffee machine is broken!! OMG, I can't believe it hehe ;)

Today I have bought som stuff for my apartment/room, went for a run and then I went in to the city and here I am!

This is what I have learned today:

• The area where I live is very nice, calm and quiet
• The germans must love smoking, in every corner of my neighborhood there is a cigarette machine hehe ( will show you a pic, very fascinating)
• There is a lot of germans here...
• The dogs are EVERYWHERE, at the cafe, in the stores, restaurants, you name it and the dogs are there!
• The germans do their grocery shop-packing in the car or at least after they have paid and then put everything BACK in the cart (not in bags yet) very strange! And they think you are very annoying if you doit the swedish way because then the next customers items have nowhere to go...
• Mannheim is a very nice city, reminds me of Göteborg a bit.
• The people in Mannheim is very friendly (if you do the grocery shopping "their way"...)

Well I think that is most of it, now I am going home. Tomorrow sunday everything is closed, even the grocery store...

 

Take care!

Mannheim

I'm here! Tired after getting up at 3am (not kidding I did get up at 3am!), but feeling good!

The flight went great and I think Germany overall really likes me. First when I got of the flight I went to the restroom (yes the information about my restroom visit is important to the story!) and then I was going to get my bags, everybody was standing around waiting, and only two bags was circling around, guess what? That was my two bags, fantastic haha :D. Everybody has been so nice to me, and the sun is even shining, which everybody keen pointing out, since it has been a very grey couple of weeks before :)

Now I'm at starbucks, then I will go to the grocery store and tomorrow I will investigate the city of Mannheim!

Take care everybody!

On my way!

Here I am, now on the train to Copenhagen and then on the plane to Frankfurt and then train again to Mannheim!
Packing was crazy hard and I can't understand how my african girls Annika and Emelie did, they could probably not bring 3 big suitcases....well, I'm not on the flight yet so I might not make it with all my luggage.
Can't stop think about this train ride, on of the once which could be life changing. Straight in to the unknown! I have traveled faraway on my own before, but it is different this time. Now I am an adult, this is my future..
Love it, lets kick some ass in Mannheim!

New Times

So the world did't end on the 21st of December, however new times are here, the world has supposedly started on a new chapter. I have at last decided to embrace and accept this, because so is my life.

After 2,5 years of studies in Halmstad all that is left is an internship and a research paper. "Well", you might say, "then things are not over yet, you still have until June in school so why blabber about this change now??"

But what I have realized these last few days is that the change is happening now! January 11th I move to Germany for 3 months. And, yes after that I move back to Halmstad. But things will never be the same again, my time as a student is over, it's time to grow up...

Someone forgot to tell me, I didn't know!

So the world didn't end on December 21st, but it is still a date that marks a change, at least for me!

It remains to discover if change is good or bad, exciting but scary!

I wish the best of luck to all my friends who now also have the same journey as me, but much further away from home - take good care and be safe - see you in the spring -I will miss you!!

Enjoy!

There will be another post tomorrow with the second half of the pictures cause now I'm tired and need to go to bed so I can go to work tomorrow as well :)

GOOD NIGHT!
