Well, global warming or whatever is responsible that our weather is a little crazy. I have been now for 1,5 months back in Switzerland and I haven't seen any snow... now, suddenly there is plenty of! Anyway, sorry for not writing such a long time... but I haven't been "en route" so life is not that exciting ;-) I am kidding, for the past month I went through changes, ups and downs, happy and sad moments, sober and other status. Actually I was just living my life...
Changes in my private life taught me about personal characteristics, rather not nice ones, that accompany me for some time. Changes in "academic" life made me think more about my skills, strenghts & weaknesses and how I have to apply them in my future life (I won't be student anymore very very soon...).
There were plenty of ups such as seeing most of my friends (old & new ones) and spending fantastic time with them, taking more advanced steps in my photography passion by discovering picasa, getting a job offer from a large technology consultant, proceeding in a recruiting process for a large consumer good company and last but not least getting on track with my thesis (well just last week). Downs were rather rare but included some rejections for company workshops, plenty of companies that don't want to participate in my thesis' empirical study and some days with hang-over.
Happy moment mostly correlated with the ups such as being succesful with some of my applications, experiencing challenges in my thesis and getting to know new people (MG7 is great, Flavio thanks for your great b-day party). Sad moments were as I discovered that I haven't changed some of my bad attitudes and that I disappointed and hurt people, one person in particular.
For the moment I am busy writing my thesis (for real this time), reading about the relational view of the firm and supplier development. Furthermore I try to get some interview before our university's career days in order to rock there! Passion-wise it looks promising: I am planning a long trip in summer before I enter serious life (some short trips to Milan and ... before), look for new photography equipment (Nikon D40x is my favourite at the moment) and cook on the weekends for my nice flatmate Maria (and she cooks Spanish dishes for me, yummie).
P.S. @ my ZH-boys: Fuck, during our next trip to Moscow we won't be able to drive around Oligarch style... see yourself!
P.S.II my latest discovery on flickr.com: litalesh, amazing impressions from her travels and home. My favourite: "Police, who?" reminds me of the refrain:
"Police machine matrice d'ecervelés mandatés par la justice
Sur laquelle je pisse" (NTM, J'appuie Sur La Gachette, 1993)
