Winter Holidays - I love my bed

First of all, I LOVE being at home, but it leaves me bored sometimes... And not wanting to study for produces something like that:



Oh, and I LOVE my BED!!

Actually, holidays are great, I saw nearly(!!) all the people I wanted to so far :), I already was sick for 2 days (check), I'm helping some friends with their French and English stuff they have to do over the holidays (who better to help than me ;p) and I am sleeping alot... I'm trying to sleep ahead for the next 4 weeks where I guaranteed won't get more than 6hrs of sleep per night, because I will have to study sometime soon for those wonderful "contrôle continu"s and "examen"s ;)

As I WILL have more time the next weeks, my boredom might produce some more of these "vlogs" XDD

STAY TUNED!

PS: you have NO idea how many hours of youtube I had before making that :D

10 days until christmas

I know I'm repeating myself, but time flies so incredibly fast, I don't know what happened!!!

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

it's december

and I'll be missing you... YES, that song crept into my head 2 days ago. and it's not leaving.
I think my brain wants to keep reminding me of how screwed I'll be after Geneva, cos I've met so many people here that have found a place in my heart :)

and wow, time flies like crazy. I didn't want to realize that it's December already, I refused to. Or my subconscious wants to tell me something ;)
just kidding. a friend of mine told me 2 days ago that if time passes too fast for you, you must be having a really good time and be happy. and he is right. I have the best time of my life. And I am happy. It borders ridiculous sometimes.
But I feel so alive here, like I never was before.

back to my status report:
another lazy weekend happened, just broken with a birthday party and some going out which was goood :)
have so much stuff to do, you wouldn't think I'd be doing an exchange, but I'm so used to it right now, that I don't even care about the weekly presentations & tests because I'm doing them without any difficulty - another sign of progress in language and personality XD

And tonight, I'm gonna go see THE MELVINS live in concert, and they are playing 2(!!!!!)sets :) Geneva is an awesome place and I feel good here.

But I wouldn't miss out Christmas at home, I have some special presents for my cookie.kids :D
