of procrastination

when you don't really have schoolwork, exams to study for or papers to hand in.


you take pictures of everything around you.

you notice the times when the neighbour in the opposite house switches on and off the light.
you get in touch with your family.
you read emails, but don't reply.
you start to watch a movie, but you don't finish.

you prepare to go outside, but then the rain comes again.


soo, the last two weeks have been fun, actually amazing, as my parents and a friend from Geneva were here :)
I loved it every minute!
I discovered new views of Prague and that I do miss my family, but I'm actually coping quite well.



I have some time on my hands, when I get weekends off, but I prefer to relax, maybe go to the cinema, take loads of pictures and skype with my friends.
sometimes, I go out. but I rarely do in the last weeks, as I like my sleep a lot and catching up on books and TV-shows.

I do sports, believe me, and last time in the gym, an American friend was thoroughly exhausted just by my warming-up, so my gymnastic skills and the parkour are not entirely in the gutter ;)

in other news, I've grown really fond of healthy food, even though I didn't like it that much when my mum served it every day at the farm.




if you want any specific informations, comment, and I'll treat it in my next post :)
until then,
love

a huge vacuum-cleaner in my room

because I decided it was time to clean the carpet-floor before I get an invasion next Thursday :)

I'm sub-letting the flat and the owner of the flat is really proud of it, so have a look :D


it has been an awfully long time.

sooo, in March I pretty much got used to working everyday and not very much routinely 9-5, but sometimes 8-4, sometimes 11-8 or sometimes 2-10. I do want to have a routine with weekends off and some sneaks and peeks into human ressources and finance. I've been promised there will be work for me there soon-ish, so I'm hoping because this is very much relevant to my studies :) I do like the work in the direct customer relations because the people there are AMAZING and AWESOME, but customers, especially the French ones tend to be nasty from time to time.


what else happened?
oh yeah, I was in BERLIN :)
I only spoke German when I ordered something in a bar or a restaurant, otherwise English was language of choice as I was with Americans and guess who else... Canadians :D Berlin is a REALLY amazing city and definitely NOT typically Germany, but I liked it very much indeed! I did a free city tour, 5hrs walking, dang my feet hurt :D but it was worth it, I got some plus history facts that were not covered in 8hrs of 2nd world war history in high school ;) shame on my history teacher! (just kidding, he piled us with this stuff, we were rather disinterested when he started of talking about concentration camps again, maybe because we get it non-stop and all the time...)

mighty tour guide


brandenburg gate


botanical gardens


east side gallery

of course a pub-crawl was in order and there is a few good and not too expensive pubs in Berlin! The last club was funny, I was half-talking, half-dancing on the edge of the dancefloor as suddenly two Italians kidnapped me up to the dance-stage. I was lucky they were really drunk so I could escape within 2mins without any problems. I then decided to not leave my people again!



of course, I had to be a tourist and pretend to be in England when I was in Berlin as I found a telephone box :D



oh, and I moved, to a much much bigger flat with a bigger room, a bigger flat, a working washing machine and of course high-speed internet :D



and then I fell sick... 2 weeks spent in bed and a little bit outside as pani doktorka ordered. I ate so many kiwis and drank so much orange juice :) I then changed my eating behaviour a little bit more to the healthy and not so much fast-food-y ;) good decision, have been up and running for more than 2 weeks and I feel great!

speaking of fast food:
there is either a McDonalds, a Subway or a KFC every 200m between old and new town. the Czech people will be as fat as the Americans soon!

had some visitors already, now I'm beginning to be good at city-tours but still, after each tour, my feet hurt as it is a really long walk even if it is a short one with only the most important sights... I like it a lot though, each time is different and unique :)

hopefully until in 2 weeks and not 1,5months,
love from prague
