Aqui estamos, saltando sobre charcos despues de la nevada que ha caido estos dias. Como podeis ver nuestra terraza no ha sido ultimamente tan acogedora como en el verano, ha quedado un poco merengada. A parte de eso, ya sabeis, que estamos aqui todo el dia de noche. Y bueno, no hemos muerto de hambre tampoco porque ya cuando dejo de nevar fuimos al super. Antes de aburrimiento. Pero no, aqui estamos siempre de fiesta, debe ser porque como es siempre de noche... Y por cierto que estos dias os ganamos (a Valencia y Madrid) en las minimas de temperatura (alguna vez tenia que ser)! Bueno sera cosa de empezar a decorar por navidades, asi vemos algo, y a ver si introducimos los petardos en Uppsala...

Movies & Darkness

This winter I didn't feel so much the abrupt change between the great amount of light to getting dark at three, I think it was a good idea to program this time to be crazy busy teaching. It worked, I almost didn't notice the precipitous change to the dark side. Instead I felt the precipice of getting in front of dozens of eyes... it's after all more fun.
Anyway the winter came, slowly, not as the unexpected white storm from last year but quite discreet, one day could we see the rain falling in slow motion and then we knew that it was snowing.
Or maybe I'm getting used to it, or we've chosen some good movies to see in the dark... not always, I know... well you can have good laughs with the bad ones, don't you think?

Talking to myself

YESS I WARNED THAT I WOULD UPLOAD THE PIX YOU GUYS TOOK!! HeheheHe (evil laugh) Yes the rest of the pictures were also very funny so I promise that, if I don't forget it, I'll send them to you.
This is one of this days when I'm glad for something I did, and this time I don't mean to put lights in the cathedral (ok, I confess it wasn't me) just don't believe everything I write in the blog, I must warn you that I have a lively imagination or a parallel world. But seriously I'm getting better in talking in public which is great because I have to talk in Swedish in front of my students and it's kind of hard. Well it's more than kind of hard, it's very hard! Last time I taught in a class here, half in Swedish half in English, the day before I said to myself "Ok , if I can do this I can do anything!" well I didn't exactly say this because I use to talk to myself in Spanish but you get the idea.
Actually it's not the first time I say this to myself (and yes I talk to myself sometimes) I said this also when I had the exam before the university (which is called "Selectivity", just take a look at the name...), the sixth time I took the drivers license practical test (a ride? just kidding I'm good driving NOW), when the dentist was taking out my wisdom teeth...
In conclusion this is a good phrase even if it doesn't work, or maybe it works as long as we manage...who knows. The bad thing about talking to myself is that I hardly ever go anywhere with the answers
