Once again nothing new

And another uneventful week has passed. The nice weather was again a good opportunity to do some outdoor sports. Then today I went again to St. Gallen because next week I don´t have time to deal with flat issues. It´s always the same. "Unfortunately we took another person/the room has been given to another person. But good luck with your further search." But I´m still hoping for some good news next week.
I think there might be a market gap for "generator of randomized flat rejection messages". Maybe I should quit studying and open business in this sector;-) Anyway, I got some insider news which creates some hope (although it´s from a cruel origin): Soon the exam results are gonna be published which might lead to an increase of offered rooms...
Now, to the nice part of life. Tomorrow I´m heading to Fiesch (yes to the very nice Feriendorf;-) It´s gonna be Feriensportlager next week. I´m expecting (based on my experience) a great & funny week with a lot of people, a lot of sport and a lot of some thing else;-)

Traineeship map

Lately I had the idea to create "traineeship map". The red dots (unfortunately) don´t show all the places where I´ve been in the the last few months but they show the home countries of the people I met in Stuttgart. There´s only one thing to add:
You can go on a traineeship (only) to Germany and have a cultural experience as well - You can be only 350km far away and live in a different and very international environment.

Sun, fun and...

What a nice feeling. Just sitting outside at home, heated by early september sun, see the blue sky, listening to Jack Johnson and updating my blog at the same time. Feels really like being on holiday. And I started to sleep in again, which I couldn´t do when I was already on holiday but still in Stuttgart. I´m glad I have some spare time to spend until semester starts in October...

Not yet a week has passed since I left Germany and people are already writing me emails about how I do at home, keep me updated about flat issues (I´m glad I don´t have to deal with that anymore) or just talk with me on msn. Isn´t it nice?

The most important thing which I have to deal with at the moment is looking for a room in a flat in St. Gallen. Yesterday I´ve been there already for the third time visited my flats Nr. 8 - 11. I really hope it´ll work out this time - if someone has insider infos about someone looking for a new flatmate there just contact me.

Bittersweet home

Yesterday the day arrived. I had to say goodbye to people working in my department and to my friends in Stuttgart. After living there for 9 months, working on an interesting job with nice people in the company, after having 9 months of spending time and having fun together with a lot of friends it wasn´t easy to go home. Regular employees saying the "S*** you´re leaving", trainees asking "You´re leaving already today?" made me feel that I probably did the right things and did it well. And it showed me once more that it was a great time and Stuttgart felt like home. And I met a lot of nice, funny and interesting people which I will probably see again soon.
Now, almost 24 hours have passed since I arrived back in Bern. It feels somehow not home but familiar. It´s more like being on holiday in a place you´ve been several times before. It will take a bit then it´s gonna be home sweet home for sure...
