Most importantly, I have found 2-3 companies where I would LOVE to do my internship, but they are located both in Geneva and Prague, and I really don't know yet where I should go, applications are on the way nevertheless!
And I just got called by one company where I'm not sure I want to do my internship with, to check my level of French over the phone and apparently it wasn't that bad. But still, with that company I'd probably work Front Office(Airlines Customer Service) 80% of the time, and I might get a look into the Back Office(Compensation Claims etc). That is not the thing I want, I so want to work as an assistant in a trading company, getting a real life-experience of what that means. Oil trading is one of my favourites and I so hope that I can get a job there, either Geneva or Prague. But I'd rather do it in Prague because of the language, otherwise my Czech will never improve...
So far concerning serious issues ;)
I had sooo much fun the last weeks, and SOOOOOO much more work with it... Highlight most DEFINITELY was the visit with Eva & Nicolas to Château Chillon, Montreux, Vevey and Lausanne. OH MY GOD, it is so beautiful there!!! I don't have words to describe it, not even my pictures are enough...

Last weekend was pretty special too, I went from Geneva to Saas-Grund on Friday, from Saas-Grund to Zurich on Saturday and from Zurich back to Geneva on Sunday... I travelled around 650km in 3 days. ALL by train of course, other means of transport, for example a car are really slow in comparison. That's one reason Switzerland is so appealing to me, you can get anywhere, at nearly anytime by public transport and every hour at least :)
Sister-time in Zurich was great because next time we see each other it will be Christmas at home with ALL my family and we won't have the chance for quality talk time. I loved it!!! :)

And while we were taking a nearly 2hrs walk, it started to snow ever so slightly... I felt like in winterwonderland :)
And Hohsaas - Kreuzboden had their ski-opening weekend for free... of course I went there and haha, down in the valley the weather was so bad, but up on the mountain the sun was shining, it was very lightly snowing and I even saw a few rainbows.

sooo beautiful, the Swiss Alps are something!! (And that is me saying that, a patriotic Austrian!!) ;)
I will be at home in Carinthia in 117 hours. And I'm looking forward to seeing my friends again and having a happy christmas and relaxing holidays :)
Oh and like yesterday I discovered that the soundtrack to my Erasmus life is gonna be legendary... you wait for it ;)
and oh YEAH, I had fun snowboarding :D :D

I love this blog-entry! It describes so perfectly what we're both experiencing at the moment. Starting from the beautiful landscape here in Switzerland, up to the annoying PTS-search, etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, we're both looking forward to Christmas to be back united with our families.
Once again: great blog entry!
See you soon in class. ;-)
