Mardi 30 Janvier

Hej,
Still waiting for those .... grades , what are those men doing ?????
Anyway , i went to the university library , i met Anja on the way , i tried not to fall out from the bike and reached karallen . My mission was to get Herle's overall , that we order in August and never picked it up, can you believe it ?????

I was there on time , but the room was such a mess , that the ESN staff was unable to find the list, so i'll try once again on Thursday.
After i went straigh to Basia , to help her move to her nex place : Nina's appartment.
I think it will be a big change for her , it feels like home there , it's great.
She had so much stuff , i'm telling you , we had to fill up Anja's car 3 times !!!
I think She's competing with Eva LOL

Ps: This day is dedicated to Basia

Then i went to visit one place again but no one was there, i went back in the afternoon , in Rydsalle , 13 first floor, mainly Sweeds , kind , they introduce themselves and show me around .
It's clean , new and well furnished , the room is nice , it lookes like Basia's room , since every rooms in Rydsallé looked the same.

Mercredi 24 Janvier

Hej,
This morning the girls went to Kiruna , i'm all alone .... Lol
This afternoon , it was the first class with the new teacher , Mikael Baaz , about international and european law.
After one hour (we had 4) i knew it would be interesting , the teacher is structured n prepared , he does funny shceme so we can understand.
I'm happy about that , since none of the teacher , before him , seems to have the same teaching skills.
I met new students , which are gonna follow the prog with us till june, three girls from Germany , one from France , one guy from Pakistan , and one guy and and one girl from Seattle .
That's cool to get the opportunity to know other people.

Lundi 22 Janvier

Hej,
It's d day , at 13HOO i went to D24 to do the thesis oppostion , i have to say it's was interesting to hear other thesis proposal and hear of course critics from Nina (my opposant). The apothesis was when Herlé asked Matias if he known how to type and use word LOL

Gooch was there (kind of ) the all time , it seems he just read our thesis before coming , that's it , then the first thing he said when entering the room was , by the way i'm going for 2 months in Vietnam then in Scotland . Ok , and what does it change for us ????

Il est tellement pedant ce mec , il te prend pour un petit insecte , il represente le master juste pour le titre pas les fonctions!!!!

Sorry for this part in French , but i was a bit mad ........

In the evening Basia and I tried to find a solution to the Brussels trip pb , it is so complicated !!!

Hej,
This morning i went to the unversity to print Valdrin Thesis to be able to work on it.
Then i went to Hemkop to buy some stuff, in the afternoon i worked a bit on the opposition the suddenly around 3 PM S.N.O.W appeared. I'm so happy it's kind of -5 but it is so nice and quiet.

At 4 PM i went at Basia to have our Brussels meeting , well it's going a bit complicated due to Hostel booking , and most of all , plane tickets and price which are not going down. We will decide everything by next week , but the total cost will be quiet high.............

At 6:30 PM i met Thibault by the bus stop to pick one of his school mate , we met two other French , one brother and one sister which were really nice.
In the evening i met Juan Carlos!

I woke up at 8 to be able to rewiew my notes and theseminar paper.
At 1 i went to terraI , a huge room , where two other class had exam as well.

We were all waiting for the instructions , then ..... the questions :
1) Define the terms well-ordered peoples , reasonable democratic peoples and decent peoples , how they are related to Rawls Law of people and are they fruitfrul !!!
This one was quite ok
2) What is the difference between international justice and cosmopolitan justice , why Tan prefer the cosomopolitan justice term and which one is more relevant , the former , the latter or both ?
Hum , well i know what''s comso justice , but the difference with international justice! i do not , i think it's states and individuals
3) Why does Beitz reject the idea of the Hobbesian state of nature?
This one was the seminar question , i hopped it would be this one because it was the one i knew the best. Thanks Nina's group: Masha, Sabrina, Anja and Mattias!!!

Today i left Biot, sunshine , and warm weather for Sweden.
I took my plane at 11H35 , arrived in Arlanda around 2H30 , then i took Arlanda express to get to T Centralen.
There i waited a bit for my train , which was at 16H40 , i have to say that it was pretty empty!!
I arrived in Linkoping train station at 18H50 , and i had to wait again to take the bus , it was snowing a lot , those kind of big snow flakes , that stick to your hair LOL

But it was melting when touching the ground , i met other new students , that you can easily spot with their huge luggage and funny accents.

I went back to my koridor , what a strange feeling to be here , i saw Matias , who told me about the new guy that moved in ( German). Since i did not have so much food left , i went to Hemkop to buy the student supply : PASTA LOL

Then back home , i met Juan , the company has lost his luggage , poor Juan !!! I hope they will bring it back soon otherwise he will have to go to school without clothes!
