FREDRIK SCHEIKE

Well, here I go again, whining away. Sitting here at the Internet-café not far from school, where one hour on internet costs 2.50, but why in the middle of the morning you ask? One answer: today I experience the first of - probably - many "grèves" to come. Yup, it's a strike right now, why? I understand perfectly why, there is now limit to the number of pupils permitted in each class. There are classes with 38 pupils on my Lycée, and others have told me horror-stories of classes of up to 45 people at Collège. Of course the teachers can't put up with it! Anyway, I'm not permitted to quit German to take a course in French. Just because "it's not according to the rules". French is not considered to be a "foreign language" you see. I'll print the story in black and white for you. I want to quit german. Why? Because I seriously can't understand jack shit, I understand that which resembles Swedish, but that's not good enough since the...

Ah Putain! It feeels gooooood to finish at 10 now a days! But I will still go to the course, just to see if I have to be there! Now you wonder: What is HE talking about?! I've quit GERMAN! And apparently, if things go the way I want - I'm going to start a course in french with the UNIVERSITY students! Not the french-university-course, but the "french-for-foreigners-university-course"! Could it be any better? I think NOT! During my "away"-time from here I've been doing sooo much I think I've forgotten half. Last friday after classes, I together with Delphine, Marion and Anouk went on a tour around Clermont. Since Delphine had passed here license last tuesday (on wednesday we drank and toasted in "Champomy", carbonated apple-juice, to celebrate her license - IN THE SCHOOLYARD! Haha) she of course wanted to practice her driving. And I have to say I'm impressed, because seriously, I would go bollocking mad, driving around in this town! The ...

Phew! Now I haven't written here for quite a while, and much has happened since last time, first I will post some pictures and then in another inlay I'll write. So here begins the pictureshow (all the images are clickable - for a greater size): My chamber at my familys house The "to-be" summer house of my family, A LOT of work still needs doing. Georges (dad) and Quentin (brother) working hard at the house. My bed --- Mickaëls bed at the boarding house (internat). Mickaël playing narcisstic with my camera. Benjamin, from the boarding house Fabien, Benjamins older brother, from the boarding house. Adrien, from the boarding house. Skilled Poi-artist. Jonas, the french guy who listens to Totalt Jävla Mörker! Quentin(another one), from the boarding house. More pictures coming up!

Sâ blev det som jag förutspâtt och som jag hoppats att det inte skulle bli. De röda avgâr och de blâ tillträder. Men jag vill inte kalla det en vinst för de blâ utan en förlust för de röd-gröna med Socialdemokraterna i spetsen. För det är faktiskt mer Perssons fel än Reinfeldts förtjänst. Jag vill tro att detta val har varit ett missnöjesval av Sveriges befolkning, det är i alla fall det jag hoppas. I och för sig kan till och med jag, inbiten socialist som jag är, säga att det Socialdemokratiska styret den senaste valperioden varit lite väl självgoda. Visst, självsäkerhet är bra, men när den övergâr till självgodhet - utan självinsikt - sâ väcker inte det väljarnas förtroende. Vilket nu förhoppningsvis har fungerat som en väckarklocka för vâr svenska socialdemokrati. Personligen tror jag att socialismen är det enda sättet att styra ett land pâ, men de blâa fâr nu gärna överbevisa mig, jag tänker inte tacka nej. Jag har ju faktiskt bara vuxit upp med socialismen som styrande ideol...

Haha! Best title ever! Awh, I've been having two WONDERFUL days right now, this weekend really is up there at the top. Yesterday of course started with two hours of philosophy as every saturday does. As I had been sleeping awefully good I was unfortunately a bit late when I realized that I would return "home" today, as every saturday. So I collected all of my stuff rather quickly but I still wasn't finished when Fabien came knocking at my door. I tried to explain and he just laughed and remembered that he had forgotten his bag aswell. We got all our stuff and then headed down for breakfast. Same as always.. But I think my stomach is becoming quite accustomed by now. but it's taken almost 2,5 weeks, though still, I miss PORRIDGE! I never thought those words would come across my lips, but there you have it ladies and gentlemen, hands down, the truth - I miss porridge.. After breakfast, two hours of philosophy awaited me. Those two hours would have taken the must ou...

I forgot something yesterday when I had to finish my blog in like 2 minutes. I'm beginning to love philosophy! For the first time, I understood something yesterday! We're finally beginning with the kind of philosophy I love. Reality - how real is it? Gawsh, I'm only said I can't debate more, because I got so many things on my mind. Well today was just an ordinary day really. 2 hours of history, 2 hours of litterature, and I must allow myself to say, gawsh, I'm beginning to dislike the educational system here. Where is the dialogue between student/teacher? There's isn't anything that even comes close to that. And I believe that's the only way to actually accumulate the knowledge, by practicing it. Well I'm off now, going in to town to meet pupils from my class now, in this heavy rain.. Well well, loads of love! Bis Fredrik
