today is my last day in gothenburg.

i will wake up early, open the window and drink a glass of cool water, then i will make the coffee, and, while its ready, i'll prepare breakfast: fruit, muesli and yogurt. i will bring it to my room and sit on my bed, put on some music, and i will do my favorite blog reading while having breakfast. i like the morning routine a lot.

oh, i mustn't forget to stop by the city library to bring back the books and cds i borrowed. i also have to do the final cleaning in my room. at night we'll have a little dinner with my roommates. in between morning and night i have no set plan. perhaps i could go for a walk to the botanical garden. yes, i'd really like that.

funny, if i close my eyes and concentrate really hard, i can bring back the feelings i was feeling a year ago, when i was dreaming of my future life in sweden. i clearly remember when i wrote this. at moments it seems so far away, some other times, as if it was just last week.

a little storage keeps some of my belongings until i come back again next year.

things are changing, things are moving. and now, it's time to go.
