The Swedish health care sent me Vårdguiden, a magazine with clever articles about important medical issues ... and the truth about falling in love:

Considered as a phenomenon falling in love can be compared to a psychosis like state. The one who is affected by love has a limited reality perception, sets new priorities and changes the focus. [...]

Falling in love is a big balancing act between necessary development and complete craziness. [...]

Hormonally, falling in love involves a great stimulation of luck feelings, among others due to the hormone Dopamin. Dopamin is just a part of the brain's awarding system and as such very effectively working at person with [drug?] abuse. Even for the fresh couple in love who keep on being together the Dopamin level and other signalsubstances decrease little by litte until they reach a normal level. Love did its purpose, made people doing the steps that they otherwise wouldn't do, and saying the things that they otherwise would never dare to say. There are of course those who aren't satisfied by that. Luck junkies who always search for the top points in life.
(my stand-in translation from the article titled "Vårförälskelse" [Spring Love])

So, are you on Dopamin, my friends?

I owe you something! Yes. Really. Namely some words about my week so far.

Actually I can sum it up by dropping some keywords ...

... like Python and Ruby
Last week my new university course started. It's titled "Dynamic Programming Languages" so within the next couple of weeks I'll turn into a real nerd running the interpreter all the time in the Linux terminal and play around with weird commandos like
def to_s
"KaraokeSong: #@name--#@artist (#@duration) [#@lyrics]"
end
Gonna be fun ... Somehow I guess :)

... like spring time
The sun has been showing up again in Stockholm. FINALLY! 12°C here!! And everyone is paralyzed. In the first weeks after the winter Swedish people often remind of a bunch of sect believers - walking slowly around, facing the sun with closed eyes and an enlighted smile on their lips. Well, to be honest I'm also one of them.

... like fencing and pain
It's not good to exagerate the fencing training. My body is covered with bruises and I'm sore muscles from Tuesday night. But at least I was fighting like a champ and damn, it was fun! :)

... like pleasant anticipation
Tomorrow I'm going to Gothenburg. Actually I wanted to drive there together with good-old Robin BUT he left me down yesterday becasue he has to work :( Anyway, I found two other friends who head there as well and who saved me from big disappointment. I mean, it can be quite exciting there as I'm hoping for a bit of spring luck there .... mmmmmmh!

... like moles

"Who is the mole?"
Well, WE all know it ... but most other people obviously don't. So they need a new TV show about our family secret on Channel 5.
