I don't even want to THINK about my thesis! I ended up restarting with a blank draft and rewriting everything on Monday. I finished up a draft yesterday and have been working on spell checking and such while waiting for my adviser to get back to me. Meanwhile, something more interesting!
Moving? I've NO idea how to put together and manage a real move in Sweden! Where does one rent trucks? Boxes? Where do I get moving boxes from? Calling and writing to companies to cancel things like apartment, energy, cable? I don't know how to do any of this really. It's times like this I realize that I don't actually have the ability or skills necessary to survive in Sweden. If it wasn't for David I don't think I could manage anything. Even with his help I'm constantly confused about what should be happening.
The other thing about our move that confuses me is the complete lack of planning. Well... we're moving sometime after we graduate but before he starts work. That's about a week time span. I feel like I should be packing and slowly moving things now! But there's nothing I can really do since we're so far away from where we're moving. Lots of our stuff will be going into storage for the summer too. I'll have to keep that in mind when packing. But then it hits me, I don't have to plan TOO much because there isn't the constant summer heat to worry about. I don't have to pack with the assumption that if anything is left outside an AC'ed house things will melt or become damaged. I don't have to try and figure out what things need to be deep within boxes of other stuff so that they don't melt while traveling. I gave up one set of worries to acquire another set! I don't think I've even found all the things that I should be worrying about yet.

My life with the weird Swedes

Truck: Rent one at Statoil, OKQ8 or so. Problably have to rent it in Skellefteå and drive it down to Uppsala, because you can´t leave it in another station than you rented it from.
Boxes: Well, bananaboxes is generally used to move things. Ask at ICA. Otherwise, you could buy boxes. Should be available at Clas Ohlsson and so on.
Cancellation: Phone up the companies that you are customers at, say that you´re moving, and when. Most companies have a 1 month cancellation period, so you might want to start with that now. :)
