After a while on a blogging hiatus, I have finally returned.

School is going great! I have completed my first half-semester and its examination week quite well. I still have not got any results from the exams, but I am very hopeful.

Now I am sitting here in my apartment writing these few lines down. I just had some delicious self-made chinese beef with curry, got my room cleaned out, planned the weekend and bought myself a front light for my bike, not counting my large shopping round at Maxi.

This morning, when I left my bed, I heard a loud cracking sound from underneath the mattress. Apparently, the inner frame was nailed to the outer frame with just a few nails, and these broke through the wood from the stress. My bed was partially broken and trying to sleep in it would mean it would be even more difficult to fix. I borrowed a hammer from my roomie and tried to beat it back to where it used to be, but it didn’t do much.
Tonight, after my delicious meal, I found some nails, screwed in two screws and hammered ten or so nails into the construction to make it last. I do believe it won’t fail me tonight, but I will still be extra careful.

I got a phone call today from Karin. She invited me to come to the Youth conference at Word of Life in Uppsala this week and offered me a ride sinc they would pass Linköping on the way from Gothenburg. Unfortunately, compared to like the rest of the country, we don’t have the week-long autumn vacation that otherwise is so common here. I first thought of declining, but then thought at coming for just the weekend. So now I am in Uppsala, starting from Friday!

Math has been very interesting lately. Not only has the linear algebra been most challenging with all the vectors, matrices and determinants, but the course in calculus has also proved interesting. We currently learning about all different kinds of limits of functions and continuity. This knowledge will later prove to be the foundation of all derivates, primitive functions and integrals and much more. For fun, I wrote the formal limit definition as the headline for this blog entry in Unicode.

Last and not least, I have finally finished my “overall”. The overall is an integral part of campus life here in Linköping, and you wear it during parties, competitions and events. Every education program has its own colors and symbols on the overalls, and for every event you participate in you get a fabric “mark”, unique for each event, that you sew onto your overall. As the years go by you fill up your whole overall with lots and lots of symbols from everything you have done, like an open log book. The catch? You are by tradition never allowed to wash it. The only time it may become wet is if the wearer also becomes that.

That’s all for today, see if I can keep updating more often. See you later!
