Back home and things have already started to announce themselves interesting both in a good and a bad way. One thing that I am suffering from: the heat. Well, it’s not 35 outside, as it usually is during a Romanian Summer, it’s actually quite chilly, barely getting to 30, mostly staying around 24, it’s raining a lot but for me it is humid and warm. Sleeping with the window opened is a good idea until the thunders start. Yes, thunders. I think we had a thunder storm nearly every day since I came back. As beautiful as thunder storms are they are not so nice when you are on your way to/from work or in the middle of your deepest sleep.

I only had one day to rest and switch from the “school” mood to the “corporate” one. I must say that I felt quite lost the first few days but now I got the hang of it and it seems like nothing has changed. However what has changed is my attitude towards getting to work: if first tram is missed because of the traffic light at the crossing, worry not, there’s always another! There is no reason to force the green light or get angry. I wonder for how long am I going to be this calm. One good thing about taking the tram to work again is that I read a lot, unfortunately you can’t spot deer out the window here. My desire of getting at least a bit of fresh air every day leads me to “corporate” breaks high on the terrace on the 8th floor, above a noisy and dusty construction site.

In a way every bit of me is against being here. Barely a day back home and my stomach gave me a head ache with its protests. Yes, I am on a diet again, trying to eat healthy (the Swedish godies are carefully stored till proper conditions for their consumption will be reinstated). I am feeling tired and parts of my body are occasionally going numb. For this reason a MRI is necessary. I never had one so I am a bit afraid, I don’t know if I can stand still for so long plus it is kinda scary… not the test itself but what may come out of it. Hopefully it’s just a way in which my body says that it’s not that happy to be back. I don’t blame it in a way. 

I think some parts of me are still strolling around Södermalm and others are studying hard in JMK. Plus I am pretty sure some are still at Kungliga Tennishallen. It will take a while until I pull myself back together, for now I am just trying to keep myself in one piece and focused on what is to come, whatever that is. And I still listen to Swedish music… Will do that as long as Spotify will allow it. After that I will find other means to get to that music… or get it to me.
