L\u00e4ngtar efter att se ljuset i tunneln<\/h2>\n

V\u00e4lkommen tillbaka till KTH, k\u00e4ra kollegor! Jag hoppas att ni njutit av er sommarledighet trots det n\u00e5got instabila v\u00e4dret.<\/p>\n

Den h\u00e4r tiden p\u00e5 \u00e5ret \u00e4r v\u00e4ldigt hektisk och ljudintensiv \u2013 som det ska n\u00e4r de nya studenterna kommer. Jag har faktiskt redan h\u00f6rt dem sjunga utanf\u00f6r mitt rum. Utbildningen \u00e4r en av de viktiga h\u00f6rnstenarna f\u00f6r KTH och speciellt f\u00f6r ITM, som har del i undervisningen av n\u00e4stan en tredjedel av studenterna p\u00e5 KTH. I \u00e5r har ITM tagit in fler studenter \u00e4n f\u00f6rra \u00e5ret p\u00e5 de flesta utbildningsprogram. Det f\u00f6ljer rektor Anders strategi att uppfylla de utbildningsm\u00e5l som regeringen st\u00e4llt upp, men som KTH inte uppfyllde f\u00f6rra \u00e5ret.<\/p>\n

Jag tror att denna h\u00f6st kommer att bli kr\u00e4vande \u2013 men ocks\u00e5 givande \u2013 f\u00f6r oss alla. Oavsett om vi \u00e4r anst\u00e4llda som l\u00e4rare, administrat\u00f6r, tekniker, forskare etc kommer vi alla att vara delaktiga i nya processer som drivs av den nya rektorn f\u00f6r att vi ska f\u00e5 ett \u00e4nnu mer konkurrenskraftigt KTH. L\u00e5t oss arbeta tillsammans s\u00e5 gott vi kan i team f\u00f6r att lyckas med dessa utmaningar. Inspiration kanske vi kan h\u00e4mta fr\u00e5n det fantastiska svenska fotbollslaget, som verkligen har visat oss hur ett lag ska arbeta tillsammans f\u00f6r att bli framg\u00e5ngsrika!<\/p>\n

Som vanligt delar jag med mig av n\u00e5gra av de saker jag gjorde under min semester. I \u00e5r provade jag n\u00e5got helt nytt, tack vare min son. Jag f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte krypa i grottor, H\u00f6lickgrottorna<\/a> som ligger strax utanf\u00f6r Hudiksvall. Jag m\u00e5ste s\u00e4ga att det var ett riktigt \u00e4ventyr. Jag var inte lika modig som min son som kr\u00f6p \u00f6verallt i grottsystemet, men jag utforskade n\u00e5gra. Jag m\u00e5ste erk\u00e4nna att jag blev riktigt glad \u00f6ver att se ljuset i tunneln n\u00e4r jag kr\u00f6p mot utg\u00e5ngen. Jag rekommenderar inte personer som har en tendens till klaustrofobi att prova grottkrypning!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I \u00f6vrigt tillbringade jag det mesta av tiden med att arbeta i tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rden. Jag byggde en pergola utifr\u00e5n id\u00e9er som jag fick p\u00e5 Youtube d\u00e4r folk bygger fantastiska saker. Som du kan se har pergolan stora m\u00f6jligheter f\u00f6r v\u00e4xter att kl\u00e4ttra p\u00e5 sidorna. Nu \u00e4r fr\u00e5gan: vad man ska plantera?<\/p>\n

Jag ser fram emot att ses p\u00e5 KTH igen!<\/p>\n

Looking forward to see the light in the tunnel<\/h2>\n

Welcome back to KTH, dear colleagues! I hope that you enjoyed your summer vacations despite the unstable weather.<\/p>\n

This time of the year is very hectic and noisy, it\u2019s the new students arriving. As a matter of fact, I have already heard them singing outside my room. The education is one of the important corner stones for KTH and especially for ITM, who takes part in teaching of almost one third of the students at KTH. This year ITM has admitted more students than last year in most educational programs. It follows President Anders\u2019 strategy to meet the educational goals set by the government, which KTH did not meet last year.<\/p>\n

I believe that this fall will be demanding \u2013 but rewarding \u2013 for all of us. Regardless of our employment as a teacher, administrator, technician, researcher, etc we will all be involved in new processes, which are driven by the new President to form an even more competitive KTH. Let us work together the best we can in teams to be succeed with these challenges. Let us take inspiration from the fantastic Swedish soccer team, who has really showed us how a team should work together to be successful!<\/p>\n

As usual I share some of the things I did during my vacation. This year I tried something totally new, thanks to my son. I tried crawling in caves! More specifically, we visited the H\u00f6lick caves<\/a> just outside Hudiksvall. I must say that it was quite an adventure. I was not as brave as my son, who crawled everywhere in the cave system, but I explored some of the caves. I must admit that I was really happy to see the light in the tunnel as I crawled towards the exit. Based on that experience, I do not recommend people that have a tendency for claustrophobia to try it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Overall, I spent most of the time working in the garden. I constructed a pergola based on ideas I got from other people building fantastic things on Youtube. As you can see, the pergola has ample opportunities for plants to climb on the sides. Now, the questions is what to plant?<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to meet you at KTH again!<\/p>\n
