Pre-Strike day

Tomorrow there is a general strike in Spain, let's hope things go fine and I don't have any problem coming here to the university, because I live in a country that if you want to go to work or study and other people is in a strike they can get violent with you because you don't agree them. Which is very typicall from Spanish left-side politicians (the ones that launched the strike).
Don't worry about Simone, she doesn't have class tomorrow.
Meanwhile in my life everything is so great, the last exam, the one I still didn't know the mark, is passed, I got a 6.3 on it so that means that I passed 5 out of 6 exams I did. I think that's not bad, don't you?
Now I'll try to do my C.V. and apply to Saab later, I would like to try Scania as well, but they don't give information in the website (they refer you to another webpage that basically says that you can end up wherever), so I guess I won't apply for them despite I think it would be a good experience.
Still working on my Swedish, more often now than before, I think I'm learning a lot lately, but I still want much more, I'd love to be able to speak it more or less "fluently" by this Summer, even if it's just basic sentences.
I hope things are going great for you, don't forget to be awesome!

IKEA and Elections

First of all I'm sorry that I haven't uploaded this, it's not that I don't like to write, it's just that this week has been so very busy for me.
Yesterday we went to IKEA, yes, that Swedish company which is conquering the world with its furniture hehe, as you can see, we had meatballs, they were good, but not as good as Anne's meatballs (I haven't tried yet Simone's), such a nice day of relax and stop thinking :)

And today it's elections day here in Andalucía. Let's see how it goes and who is the winner.

Picture of Simone with the meatballs:


Be awesome!

Nice weekend, busy week incoming

This was a very nice weekend, to be honest.
I had to say goodbye to a guy from my swimming team, he got a job in Burdeox, France, so he will leave this country for a few months at least. That made me think...
We visited the "International beer festival", which was really poor, but well, at least it was something. I like beer and to try new ones, of course moderately, never drive after you drink alcohol!
That was on Friday night, then Saturday arrived.
That day we basically were studying and working hard on our university things, I can't believe how busy I'll get this week, they'll send us some new projects to do, but well, since I'm awesome I know I can do it. After a fast visit to the supermarket we had dinner with friends of my parents, parents of friends of my brother, from his swimming team. Really great food, a lot of it, so today we will repeat the dinner we had yesterday night, we still have leftovers for a bunch of people hehe.
And today it was my svenskalection i Spanien 3, a text to translate and understand. I want so badly to learn the language, but I guess is something I must be patient. I try to practice as much as I can with Her, as well as I encourage Her to talk Spanish to me.
The last thing to tell is that we want Mr. Kjell here for Easter! Torremolino and "gambas al ajillo" are waiting for him!

Today's picture are an old Lincoln that we found in a very nice meat restaurant, and of course the meat that you can find in that restaurant (that I think you have seen in Her blog):


Be awesome!

It's so awesome, here you have a picture:
And that's it, good day is today, appart of that I'm very busy.
Be awesome!

4/5 passed

Just one mark left to know!
Today I got the last exam's mark I did, I passed it (as I expected, honestly), so great news :-)
I'm thinking about looking for some company in Sweden in which I could do the final engineering project next course, if it gets complicated to find it I'll do it with one of the teachers, but I'd really like to work with some company. I think that kind of things help to get experience and to get known out of the Engineering School.
Today we had a very interesting lab work time, we made a couple of beans (well, a bean and another piece) in carbonfiber, I also got a small piece that I'm planning to use in my books, to not forget in which page I'm hehe.

I let you a couple of pictures I did today at the lab.

Grattis Mamma Anne!

Happy birthday!
I hope everything is fine there, here we have a lot of work to do, including learning Svenska (thanks for commenting in Swedish, I'm getting familiar with some words and now I almost don't need the translator to understand the message).
Today is fluids mechanics day, also a day to be with her, that probably will move soon into a flat, or maybe not, that's her choice and we will survive both options so...
Have a nice day all of you and my best whishes for Anne.
Be awesome!

Mistake is fixed :-)

So that's it, I have fixed the epic fail I did.
Short upload today, everything is more than fine, but I'm kind of busy. I'll upload this weekend telling you more news (there is an international beer festival in the city from today until next weekend :D).

Picture of the structure:

Ready to be analized, be awesome!

Epic Fail

So that's what I did...
Don't worry very much, it was just the airplane thing I'm working at, one of the bars didn't stick with the others (because some stupid fail from the program) so I had to re-do everything again.
Today I had a small break from classes, one of the teachers couldn't go so I used that time on the airplane :-) Now is basically ready to be analized, like it was before, but with everything well put together.

Tack Anne, jag vill pratar Svenska, men min Svenska är inte bra :-( I need more intense Swedish classes, I learn fast, but I need material to learn.
A picture of the work I have done:


You can't view much, but yes a overview of the 3-D structure :-)
By the way, I got a 7.3 in English, since I studied just one day for that exam and didn't go to many classes I consider I kicked asses.

Enjoying life

So that's what we did yesterday, to enjoy life.
To go for a walk over this city, enjoying the great weather that we have now (like Swedish Summer) and just relaxing and taking it easy.
The weather is hot enough to enjoy an ice-cream, so that's what we had for "merienda" (kind of "fika"). Right now I'm very hungry, wanting to go home and eat for real (I had an apple).

The rest is fine, she is still living with me (also looking for apartments, which is fine, of course), so I see her everyday and she cheers me up like only she is able to. Studies are fine, still waiting for some marks (lazy teachers) and planning things like a travel with her to some nice place in Andalucía.

Just that for today, be awesome!

Full of food

That's how we ended up yesterday night, full of awesome food.
We had some visit at home, friends of my family, so we decided to cook a lot. It was basically the whole day buying and cooking (well, I was studying and getting some fluid problems solved, my parents did).
The result was 2 tables full of great dishes that we enjoyed so very much. We had "Russian" sallad (kind of), prawns, lots of delicious appetizers, ham (Spanish ham directly from the pig's leg), great cheese and some other dishes that I don't know how to translate since they are very Spanish :-)
Today we'll go and see a flat for her, in Sevilla. Living together is really great, but maybe two people in the space of one is a bit too much, but we are doing great I think.


Be awesome!

Acrobatic airplane

So that's what I'm working on right now. I have to test the structure (that I have to draw in the computer using AutoCad or something similar) and try to "break" it using some simulations and tests with a structure analisys program that we have at the university :)
Yes, I know I have been some days without writing, but I have been very busy. Some projects are getting done, She is living with me (thing that I love, to be honest) and things seem to go really fine over here.

I let you a picture of the small but funny airplane that I have to analize:


Be awesome!
