GSE EXAM

I just came home from my first examination in Sweden. It was about important factors and risks of outsourcing of SE tasks. It was funny to compare the exam rules to that of Austria. Here this process is a very formal one - you have to show your ID card two times, an every table there is a instruction paper, etc.
I think I have done a good job and now I concentrate on studying for the Wednesday exam on advanced software project management :(

GOOD START INTO THE DAY

Todays start into the day was very hard. I woke up at about 5 minutes to 6 o'clock. Because I decided yesterday to train my mental strenght, I got up and had some breakfast. After that I took my swimming stuff, jumped on the bike and drove to the indoor swimming pool of Ronneby. There you have to possibility to do some morning sport (opening hours in the morning: 06:30 - 08:00). So started to swim a slalom between all the retirees and had two sauna sessions (in Swedish: Bastu). After doing sport for 1,5 hours I went shopping and sit now working on my assignments.

Have a nice day, too :)

BIKE TOUR TO ASPÖ

Today I decided to visit Aspö again. So i picked my bike and took the train to Karlskrona and afterwards the ferry to Aspö. I drove a whole round on the island. It was very interessting especially because I found a museum of the coast artellery division.

The pictures of the trip you can find here.

ALEX AND ROBERTS VISIT

My sister Alex and her boyfriend Robert stayed in my flat for about 5 nights. They left today after getting a clue what my life in Sweden looks like. I think they enjoyed their stay and will remember it.

Here you can see many of the pictures of their trip.

TWO DAYS IN COPENHAGEN

Today I picked up Alex and Robert from the airport in Copenhagen. Afterwards we drove directly to the youth hostel "sleeping-in-heaven" which we found immediately after search a whole hour :) It is a very lovely place to stay which I can recommend to everyone who wants to visit Copenhagen. We started our pleasent stay with a bunch of beer directly from the hostels office desk (cheap price: about € 3). Then we walked around in the city and enjoyed the evening in a sushi restaurant - very delicious.
The next day we had some sight-seeing and afterwards we drove back to Ronneby.
The pictures from the trip you can find here.

BODY LANGUAGE

Today we had two interessting hours organized from the international office. It was about body language - how the swedish people communication thru their gesture and mimic. But the whole thing tended more and more into the direction of a discussion on different cultures which was very interessting. We all acted some situations about our lifes in our home countries like how we greet in the different situations, etc.

I hope to get some nice pictures of today to share them with you.

LECTURE NOTES - EN1115

Here you can find a link to the lecture notes of todays academical writing session.

DAY IN COPENHAGEN

Tomorrow I will visit Copenhagen to pick up my sister Alex and her boyfriend Robert from the airpart. We will have a snugly afternoon and evening. On the day after we will have some sight-seeing thru the city and in the afternoon we will go back to Ronneby.

We will sleep at the "Sleep in heaven" hostel. When I booked the accomodation I made the mistake to book over www.hostels.com so I had to pay a fee which wouldn't be necessary if I had booked directly thru the hostels web page. So guys don't do the same mistake too.
