“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. “
Albert Camus
--
Midvinternattens köld är hård,
stjärnorna gnistra och glimma.
Alla sova i enslig gård
djupt under midnattstimma.
Månen vandrar sin tysta ban,
snön lyser vit på fur och gran,
snön lyser vit på taken.
Endast tomten är vaken.
Står där så grå vid ladgårdsdörr,
grå mot den vita driva,
tittar, som många vintrar förr,
upp emot månens skiva,
tittar mot skogen, där gran och fur
drar kring gården sin dunkla mur,
grubblar, fast ej det lär båta,
över en underlig gåta.
För sin hand genom skägg och hår,
skakar huvud och hätta ---
»nej, den gåtan är alltför svår,
nej, jag gissar ej detta» ---
slår, som han plägar, inom kort
slika spörjande tankar bort,
går att ordna och pyssla,
går att sköta sin syssla.
Går till visthus och redskapshus,
känner på alla låsen ---
korna drömma vid månens ljus
sommardrömmar i båsen;
glömsk av sele och pisk och töm
Pålle i stallet har ock en dröm:
krubban han lutar över
fylls av doftande klöver; ---
Går till stängslet för lamm och får,
ser, hur de sova där inne;
går till hönsen, där tuppen står
stolt på sin högsta pinne;
Karo i hundbots halm mår gott,
vaknar och viftar svansen smått,
Karo sin tomte känner,
de äro gode vänner.
Tomten smyger sig sist att se
husbondfolket det kära,
länge och väl han märkt, att de
hålla hans flit i ära;
barnens kammar han sen på tå
nalkas att se de söta små,
ingen må det förtycka:
det är hans största lycka.
Så har han sett dem, far och son,
ren genom många leder
slumra som barn; men varifrån
kommo de väl hit neder?
Släkte följde på släkte snart,
blomstrade, åldrades, gick --- men vart?
Gåtan, som icke låter
gissa sig, kom så åter!
Tomten vandrar till ladans loft:
där har han bo och fäste
högt på skullen i höets doft,
nära vid svalans näste;
nu är väl svalans boning tom,
men till våren med blad och blom
kommer hon nog tillbaka,
följd av sin näpna maka.
Då har hon alltid att kvittra om
månget ett färdeminne,
intet likväl om gåtan, som
rör sig i tomtens sinne.
Genom en springa i ladans vägg
lyser månen på gubbens skägg,
strimman på skägget blänker,
tomten grubblar och tänker.
Tyst är skogen och nejden all,
livet där ute är fruset,
blott från fjärran av forsens fall
höres helt sakta bruset.
Tomten lyssnar och, halvt i dröm,
tycker sig höra tidens ström,
undrar, varthän den skall fara,
undrar, var källan må vara.
Midvinternattens köld är hård,
stjärnorna gnistra och glimma.
Alla sova i enslig gård
gott intill morgontimma.
Månen sänker sin tysta ban,
snön lyser vit på fur och gran,
snön lyser vit på taken.
Endast tomten är vaken.
Tomten by Viktor Rydberg
First time published in Ny Illustrerad Tidning, 1881
"As evening fell, a maiden stood
at the edge of a wood.
In her hands lay the reins
of a stallion.
And never I'd seen a girl as fair,
heard a gentler voice anywhere, whispered, "Alas...".
She belonged, belonged to another.. another forever.
Yes, she belonged to the twilight and mist."
Always love this song!
Setelah berminggu – minggu dihajar assignment, quiz, lab, report, seminar, dan temen – temennya itu, senang juga dapat feedback dari asisten selain hanya Pass / Fail ;D
And btw, I think Pehr also handsome, if he’s not my assistant :p
Here are the things that I’m talking about :*
----
Submission Feedback
* Generally a good report. Well written, all answers I expected are in there.
* The tables were intended to give a structure to the analysis of the set of messages, not a single message. Your solution was a bit unexpected, but the rest of the analysis is in the text, so it's fine.
About the feedback:
I will verify so the flow of the report follows the flow of the lab better next year. It was a typo, but I felt changing it would just cause more confusion. I left the schedule for the GPG lab open on purpose to let students choose when to work on the material more freely, even if it overlapped the other labs and seminars.

Dear Pehr, Thank you for the feedback, actually I don't have any idea you will give feedback before the deadline. But honestly, the point that u have mentioned is the thing that i planed to verified to the other student, because actually i was not sure where should i put my analysis, in table part or in the example part, and i decided to put that to the example point. I still have 2 more days, and actually want to make some minor changes too, in the length of the report (which i think too much), the grammar, etc. Is that necessary for me to upload that new version, since you already checked this report? Once again, thank you for your feedback and reply.

Thank you for the updated report. The tables are there and everything looks fine now.

dududu...Hopefully I pass the exam from his class today >.<
Ayah..
sekian tahun umurku,
masih tak mampu aku membalas sedikit saja dari besarnya jasamu,
masih juga menjadi sumber kekhawatiran aku bagimu,
masih belum sanggup aku membanggakan dan membahagiakanmu.
Semoga Allah memberikan kesempatan itu padaku, sebelum waktu ini terus beranjak pergi.
Dan ayah.. aku rindu.
Kerinduan yang tak akan berakhir dan terkatakan.
Kuharap Allah selalu menjagamu, didunia ini dan diakhirat.
Amin.

Dear Secret Sender,
Thank you for the reply from you on behalf of KOAS. I've already read that the 1st September is the most peak season to arrange accommodation, as that date is the first day of new study year and semester. In order of that, I try to apply in advance through KOAS website even now I'm still waiting the official Letter of Acceptance from the Secret University that should has been seen through postal address.
However, I'm afraid I cannot confirm you right now to change my application to become 1 month in advance (1st August), because firstly I still must arrange the visa from Finland Embassy in Jakarta - Indonesia (after get LoA) as international student to get the exact day of of my arrival date.
I do still hope that KOAS could help me to find the apartment for that 1st September. However, I will contact you as soon as possible if there is an opportunity for me to change my arrival date and change my application information.
Once again, thank you for your help and respond.
Best Regards,
Aidi

Hello Adek,
Studynya diuniversity mana? Dapat beasiswa?
Temen sy kerja as programmer di Nokia di Helsinski sejak 2006, namanya Mohammad xx jd cocok dgn backgroundnya Adek sepertinya. Taun 2008 sempat sy berkunjung ke Helsinski semingguan kesan saya :
1. Living cost mahal.
2. Bila Anda seorang muslim, beribadah sholat lima waktu jd satu hal yg berat krn masalah geografis sehingga waktu sholat tdk beraturan.
Detailnya ntar bisa didiskusikan dgn Mohammad xx.
salam,
