good news

Just a very quick update to share some very good news with you: I finally got
a job!! :-) As from the 1st of January onwards I will be working as a graduate and interns manager at SwissRe in Zurich (www.swissre.com). I'm really excited that this opportunity
has come through! I'm responsible for their graduate program in Zurich, meaning
everything from marketing the program, to the organisation of interviews, assessment days,
welcoming the participants, mid term reviews etc. The other part of my
job description is to set up a interns program for Swiss students. So as you see, the job description sounds a little bit like AIESEC …

The other piece of good new is that I also found a new flat already! I'll be living in Adliswil, that is about 15 minutes train ride from Zurich Main Station and my flat will be a 5 minutes walk awy from my future office...I'm really delighted to finally have my own place! Sharing an apartment was nice while being a student, but now I felt that I wanted to have my "own" place. It's a 2 bedroom flat, with a large balcony and a spacious kitchen- nothing fancy, but nice! I can't wait to have you come and visit me there. However, before that I have to get myself organized in order to move all my stuff from Brig to Zurich and also I desperately need to have an IKEA shopping day...

This weekend my parents are moving apartment as well, so that's why I have to run to catch my train to Brig soon. Right now I'm still sitting in the teacher room at school in Boltigen (near Berne), trying to sort out the millions of papers I have laying around..
