I and my university class of twelve have now completed two years of studies at Linköping University and the exciting third year now begins. Everybody in the class are studying applied physics with international perspective, and we are all going abroad for the third year, studying physics in our respective languages.  My profile language is German, but in the class there are students of Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish and French as well.

Jesper has done a great job setting up a homepage for our adventure and all of us are going to have a blog of some sort where write about the life in the foreign country.

For my own part, I now only have 18 days until my flight departs for Zürich but I haven’t yet grasped that I finally am going abroad. Many things must be prepared, I’ll someway have to wedge in a year’s worth of packing into the 20 kg luggage weight restriction.
