some random pictures from the last days!

I don't like to take the huge camera everywhere and all times with me. So I get pictures from my friends I will show you in some random mood now:

 On the left you see some views from our "white-t-shirt-party" yesterday. It was the last ESN Party but seemed more like a standing-writing-laughing - Party. Got some good memories on my shirt.

Above on the right hand you see most of our NORSEC participants in a sculpture in front of the university, taken last wednesday at the Art class.

"without-words-on-the-beach"

After 3 months !!!! our first !!!! group picture with every 4 members !!!! - Starke Leistung!

The moment when it was to much porrage (Milchreis) for us and we felt tired and full.



Down you can see a section from our Yearbook 2012 - Norway!!!

Horse Riding with Bea from Spain. Unfortunately most of the pictures were quite blurred, also the one you would've seen me doing handstand on the horse's back.....ok ok, not true, but at least I was riding Picollo, the black racist (he didn't like the white horse...tzz), more than 5 rounds, ehhh.

week 45

1) School Experience again. This time in Krossen Skole, a school with an Inclusion System for children with and without Special Education Needs. 

2) We had one bed bug and an expert who steamed the beds and poisoned the rooms. We had to wash our clothes on min. 60 degrees, the rest had to be warmed up in the oven at 70 degrees, baggage has been frozen in a special freezer-room. uff.

3) Movie Night "Headhunters": with Anne walking to UiA, watch the movie for free, brought beer, chips and chocolate.

4) "A typical norwegian Christmas Dinner" - served by norwegian "Food and Health" students.

Oh, btw, I had to represent Mexico. They needed 8 persons from 8 different countries. First come, first serve. And Laura was the first, she's from Germany. So I just had the possibility to represent my mexican soul, and it was funny!

With Selin from Switzerland and Hanna from Estonia.

5) Nothing in Norway, but in this week, Thursday the 8th "Hugo was born". Welcome the cruel world, Hugo.

6) Finishing the essay. A trip through hell because of one "smart" group member, thank you L.

"Ich bin hinterher!" - Climbing the walls with Bond

Mensch, drei Monate, ein Viertel Jahr ist überschritten. Mir selbst kam diese Zeitspanne paradoxerweise gleich schnell- als auch langsamvergehend vor. Aber auch die letzten Tage habe ich diesen Blog etwas schleifen lassen, was ich nun versuche etwas aufzuholen. Hängen geblieben bin ich in Woche 44. 

Samstag, 3.11.2012:

Nachdem wir Tage zuvor schon begonnen hatten mit unzähligen Griffen, die wir von der Kletterwand im Spicheren abgeschraubt hatten, diese dann am Freitag auch wieder in einer neuen Routenkonstellation anzuschrauben, konnte am Samstag das geplante Klettertunier, für alle umliegenden Regionen starten. Niemand kannte diese Routen, so dass es ein "neues" Klettererlebnis war. Mari und ich schossen zahlreiche Fotos, Nina schrieb fürs Unikum und auch sonst waren für alle KSI Kletterer alle Hand zu tun hinsichtlich der Organisation. Am Ende sind auch Nina und ich noch die Routen geklettert. Nachdem ich die letzten drei Monate mindenstens 2 mal in der Woche Klettern war, habe ich nun seit diesem Tag, also 2 Wochen, keine Wand mehr bestiegen.

 "Baby with chalkbag, haha!"


Nina and Mari watching, taking fotos and writing for Unikum, the universities' journal.

 "Checking out the new routes and how to get'em"

 Everybody has been there, from the youngest to the oldest!

 Rodrigo our star!

 Trying to solve norwegian problems!

Discovering a new route.

Got it with the first try. Yeah!

Belaying Nina!

 Next round! The red one, a bit more tricky!

After struggeling, but done!

Sonntag, 4.11.2012

Dieser Tag war dann in jedem Falle entspannter. Bin mit Anne Cecile in den neuen James Bond "Skyfall" gegangen, der, wie ich finde, gut gelungen war.

never expected such a paradox life style!

In recent times I finally started with some research stuff I wanted to work with from the beginning. Including some duties for university as well as some voluntary work for my studies back home in germany and hopefully also for a future work. However, it would be kinda boring to write down my ideas for work papers in such a blog full of adventure highlights, wouldn't it? So maybe you wonder "what the heaven is this human being doing all day long in norway?" - You wanna know?

Of course, I can't go all the time for travelling and actually I don't want it at all. But yes, besides working and reading a lot for university I fill up my life here with some other activities. As you may have noticed a big part of time I "waste" for sport. I have to admit that it is something I missed in Germany without knowing. A lot of time I sat in front of my laptop writing on thesis and papers for universtity and wasting some time in certain social networks. Here in norway I ride my bike Ole to go from A to B and then to C; sometimes D. He is my transport and one of my best friends. He forces me to move myself. To be in action. I also go to Spicheren as you may know where I try to help my body not getting so much older, train muscles with running, biking, rowing, machines, climbing, swimming, yoga and gymnastics. I got a well-trained body. But ultimately I get more and more seduced by food. Damn! With my swiss/german friends I eat a lot of really good tasting and calory-bombed food. We celebrate together with the international students International Dinners where everybody has to bring food from all over the world. And now the time of Weihnachtsplätzchen will start, it seems to end in a disaster in my opinion.

But yesterday happened something I would've never expected: There was Anne and me (I am old, I mean, I am 29 years old!!!) being in a room in a student dorm, taking the hairbrush (after eating a pot of milkrice with apple and cinnamon...) and doing (singing) playback to Whitney Houstons I have nothing! It was kinda surreal.

The result was that we laughed a lot like adolescents (better in german: pubertierende Jugendliche!!!). Of course this song reminds me a lot that I am married and that there is somebody I miss a lot. So was it coincidence that when I came back to my room that he was online??? Who knows. But it felt refreshing this situation.

In the evening I went with my climbing friends to take off all the cracks from the climbing wall, wash them and sort them. Bonding experience more than cool work. But today is the time of planing and screwing new routes. And if you want to know how norwegians climbers train and talk, check this out:
