Thank you, LiU and Sweden! It was interesting 4 months. Now I know it's possible to survive without a grate and colander (but still it's better with them). It's possible to ( Read more... )

I've added 10 more (51-60) pictures that were missing to imagine almost the whole campus from outside:

No lectures, no students, no bicycles...  Empty study rooms, empty computer rooms and no lines to the kitchens. The campus looks like after the atomic explosion. I remember people were here only yesterday! And today there was only one person in the computer room so I printed my paper within 5 minutes but normally it took me half an hour at least ( Read more... )

Ok, we are shorting of sugar, coffee, tea and toilet paper when there are 2 weeks till my departure from Linkoping.
This is a real quest of resource optimization. So it's time to apply knowledge we have obtained in the course of strategic management :-) The target is to "close the term" with zero materials in stock and work in process :-)

Finally, I can present the pictures I took in the campus. They've been restored and edited. It took me time, so the pictures still show some autumn sceneries (click the image):

Why can't I enjoy all the benefits of being exchange student (or party, party, party and travel)? I'm too responsible, or too nerdy (it doesn't sound so nice, but it's true).
So, yes, I'm glad to be here but still I remember I have my thesis in process. And this is tough! Because I'm free in my schedule, in my work planning and so on. I tried to ( Read more... )
