One month, then it is time for my examination. During the last 16 weeks I have been working on a project about fascinating facts concerning animals and nature. I have been reading about the extraordianiry hirarchy system of the clown fish, how you can an orchestra of crickets and get thwm to slay the way you want them to, by putting a littlebit of resin on their wings. I have also visited Malmberget to watch "Kaptensgropen" - a hole 400 meters wide, 600meters long and 200 deep, and the mine - which is the reason the hole exists.
Going down in the mine was like being swollowed by a gigantic creature. The walls around us looked like ribs and the lights above intensified the impression with its spine like carachter.
