Aktiv? Mig? Nej, vel? Men jo, det har jeg faktisk været lidt. I dag meldte jeg mig ind i et fitness center. Var derude i eftermiddags sammen med Esben og Mark. Bagefter tog vi så også ud og spiste nogle gode burgers og drak nogle øl, lige for at vise at det der helse/fitness ting ikke skulle tage overhånd. Så nu bliver det spændende at se om pengene er givet godt ud, eller om i dag var sidste gang jeg sætter mine ben i det center…

Så lige nu er jeg lidt øm og træt i kroppen.

I sidste weekend var jeg aktivist til SUF‘s landsmøde. Mødet gik vist godt, taget i betragtning at det var nogle ret tunge politiske ting der skulle behandles. Men det mærkede jeg ikke så meget til. Det meste af min tid gik med at slæbe øl kasser, vente og så køre bil og tage kopier lørdag nat. Jeg fik alt for lidt søvn, og kunne da også godt mærke da jeg kom hjem søndag eftermiddag at det nok ville tage lidt tid at komme ovenpå igen – men heldigvis har jeg jo ferie, så det passede jo alt sammen fint.

I went with my dad to Holbæk to pick up our MCs today (or, technically yesterday, as the little hand has passed 12 now). It was a nice, but a bit cold, ride home. I hit rush hour when I got close to the city center but on a MC you do flow through traffic a bit liter.

I also bought a new cell phone the other day. I haven’t quite gotten used to it, and I’m having some trouble getting it working with my pc (think I have the wrong data cable), but I hope I will become more fond of it as time goes bye.

Now I’m off to bed, for you see I have holidays currently, and as such don’t have any papers to turn in, books to read or similar stuff to bother me…

My three weeks long holiday has started. I passed my only course this block yesterday, and so today was my first day with nothing planned to do. I have a whole bunch of stuff I hope to get done during these days, but I must admit that the only thing I have managed to accomplish today is make a list of all the things… and I’m not even sure that list is complete.

Tuesday I was at Kongens Nytorv in front of the French embassy for a demonstration of solidarity with the young people in France. The young people, students etc. in France are upset about the proposed CPE law. Even though the weather was nice, the turnout was not as great as it could have been.

My course in functional analysis is almost over, and after the exam Monday (which is not quite an exam but a “conversation” or something similar), I have quite a few days off. Can’t wait for holidays!

Snow?

So, it’s snowing here. I thought spring was right around the cornor, but I guess I was wrong…

Been a while since I last “bloged”. I have been ill, have missed a couple of classes, and have decided to skip my physics course for now. So now I will be consentrating on my functional analysis course.
I have also unofficialy been told that I have passede my bachelors project, but that the official message is still stuck somewhere in university bureaucracy. That’s good, I guess. I had however thought I would be more thrilled by that message. Maby my sore throat etc. took the happiness out of it?

Det er fredag eftermiddag/aften, og jeg sider og er forkølet. Gider bare ikke være syg! Der er meget (for meget og for svært?) at læse/regne til skolen og jeg …. NEJ. Dette skal ikke være et blog-indlæg med “øv bøv, jeg har det skidt”.

Det skal dog være et indlæg med lidt forskellige nyheder, som man måske ikke lige støder på hvis man har “mainstream” danske medier som sine primære/eneste nyhedskilder.

  • For noget tid siden var der en nati-nazistisk demonstration i Hillerød. Her kan du læse om politiets behandling af deltagerne i demonstrationen:
    http://www.indymedia.dk/newswire.php?story_id=361Specielt syntes jeg denne komentar er så langt ude at det ikke er til at vide om man skal grine eller græde…

    Jo det virkede som om de bare anholdt alle i sort tøj….
    Men en af mine venner er sådan hippie/lidt plipper agtig, bestemt ikke i sort tøj, blev anholdt for at sidde på en taske og snave med en pige…. fuldstændig fucked…. Og det var inden at demoen blev splittet op….

  • http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2006/02/24/172946.htm Den nyhed er vist kommet ud til de fleste, men hvis man vil se hvilken tekst det drejer sig om, som altså anses for at være i modstrid med terror lovgivningen, så kan man f.eks. kigge her:

Det var vist alt jeg kunne finde frem lige nu.

Back to school

My studies started again last week. Woooh, there is a lot of reading to do. Not that it comes as a surprise. As such the two courses I have for the next block seem interesting (having only interesting courses seem like one of the the advantages of being able to choose what courses to follow), but hard. Lot of reading, lots of new consepts. I’m already a bit behind on some of the reading, but hopefully I will catch up tomorrow (yeah right – like that’s going to happen).

I went to the Dansih Social Forum over the weekend. Friday I went to hear Tina Garnanez, a US vetran from Iraq, talk about her experiences in Iraq and comming home from Iraq. She told some really horrible stories from the war down there. It was a bit strange thinking that someone at my age could have been through the things she talked about. And many of the soldiers (not to talk about the people of Iraq) are even younger.

She was a medic in the army so she had some really horrifying experiences to talk about – mostly involving US-soldiers. I won’t try to repeat any of them here – I would not be able to present them in any way that would do them justice, but hearing her tell about it made a very big impression on me.
She is now done with the army, but has not come out of Iraq without loss. She has not had any physical wounds or hurts while in Iraq – she has all her arms, legs etc. But she told that she does now suffer from ptsd. So she has nightmares and trouble consentrating, among other things.
Besides the personal stories about the war and what it has done to her, she also told us about the anti-war movement in the US (or the pro-peace movement, as she liked to call it), the army recruitment methods and the media coverage. Some of the things she talked about did not come as a surprise to me, but some of it really did surprise me.
It would seem that quite a lot of the US veterans from Iraq are against the war and occupation when they come home, but it is not really a message that the main-stream media in the US likes to cower. Nothing new there, but still interesting to hear from someone a bit more envolved with these things.

Unfortunatly for me I overslept, so I missed some of the other things I would have liked to have seen at the forum saturday.

So tired…

My blog-entry-writing-client keeps crashing, so I will keep it short, and hope I get to write just a few lines. I’m down with a cold, just passing time, untill classes start at the 6. of February.

I finished my project, it can be seen over here: http://www.math.ku.dk/~m01sbc/opgave/

If I feel better by friday, I also hope to go see the Danmarks Sociale Forum.
