time to re-connect

Yesterday two months ago I came back from my big trip. On one hand these two months felt very slow. Still not having a job makes you doubt and drags you down at times. The days tend to be long and you don’t feel very productive even though you are doing your best in terms of job hunting. Waiting, waiting and again waiting. Patience is a virtue I now have some practice in. Nothing concrete has come until now. Yet I’m positive that during the next two weeks some doors will open…

On the other hand it time has passed very quickly. I wrote my last two exams and now officially have my bachelor degree (finally ! :-)) , I spent a lovely day with Nicole, I chaired EuroCo 07 in Lithuania (I’m still missing the faci team), I went to the Bernese wine fair as well as to concerts and theatre productions, there many evenings when I just cooked for family and friends and where we had a great time catching up over a glass of red wine, then we had such a cool MC 03-04 reunion combined with Fabo’s 30th birthday…these were just a few of the highlights.

Connection time. I’ve decided that for the next 1.5 - 2 years this will be my motto. That’s the reason why I’ve decided to stay in Switzerland and not to look for a job or an internship abroad. I want to re-connect. I want to again invest in friendships and not just maintaining them. I want to be there when things are happening in other peoples lives. I want to settle down- for a while. I want to have a base. I’m really looking forward to having my own place and not live in a shared apartment. Also I want to explore Switzerland and get to know my own country a little more, after I have seen so much of the world already. And last but not least I want to take up some new hobbies: I already have too many ideas…- but most this will only become more concrete, once I know where exactly I’ll be working and living. In the meanwhile, I enjoy imagining how my near future could look like.
