3...2...1...done!

It’s friday evening and I’m sitting in the train back home to Bern. Busy times are lying behind me and the tough days finally come slowly to an end. Time to relax a bit and enjoy life again is coming up. The new year started with studying for an exam, hopefully my last exam on swiss soil ever, which I had last monday. As you can imagine we went to out afterwards - a bit too much. The effects of this evening combined with not sleeping enough and loosing some tension already, made me feel sick the next day. I barely made it to the drug store to buy some stuff against my headache and then went to bed again. My plans of going back home around lunch time and use the day to work on my thesis were rolled over. Anyways in the evening, I still had to go back to Bern as I had a dentist appointment first thing wednesday. Wednesday continued busy. In the morning I finished my thesis and sent it to my dad who printed it for me. After picking up these paper versions, I tried to find a place to bind it. But regulations at university in St. Gallen are so stupid that no copy shop in Bern could do it. Only bookbinder (that’s the correct name although it sound awfully incorrect) would have been able to do it - but of course not in time I wanted it. So, I decided to call a copy shop in St. Gallen which I knew could do it to make an appointment for friday. After running around for that, I had a small interview for a volunteer job at Euro2008. It was quite nice, they have some interesting jobs to do and I think I could score some points;) Not only that with the teams of Netherlands, Italy and France playing in Bern I would have a slight language advantage but as well because the interviewer was a woman from Stuttgart. As I recognized her swabian dialect, I - of course - carefully mentioned that I have been working there :)) In the evening after that I once again met some friends to have a drink and to say goodbye.
Thursday was a bit more quite. I only took care of some small stuff and started to relax a bit. I even took the time to take a nap in the afternoon - I still like the concept of power napping a lot :) In the evening again I was meeting some friends - this time AIESEC oldies from Bern. Today now, I went for the last time to St. Gallen. Not only did I manage to get my thesis finished and to hand it in, but I met another AIESEC friend for lunch and to give her one of my books I used for my thesis - she happens to write her thesis in a similar area. And in the afternoon my successor in the flat finally arrived - Kamil a good friend from Prague who’s spending his exchange term in St. Gallen. After unpacking I showed him a bit around and he finally knows now where to go for the different things he has to take care of.
Now, as mentioned, here I am, in the train back home. Tomorrow there’s the last thing I need to do - transition for my NST job. I’m glad we found some successors and that I can finish that task as well. And it will probably be as well my last step within AIESEC - being finally a grown man and able to walk in to the future. Tomorrow afternoon and on sunday I will be hopefully able to wash my clothes and pack. Then, in the evening my next adventure finally begins: I’m leaving to Rotterdam for my exchange. Hopefully for my last term at an university - ever! The term starts already next wednesday - with an integration trip for all exchange students :) And then on 28th I’ll have my first lecture at RSM. Well after the last few weeks - studying for exams before christmas, writing the second half of my thesis in five days over christmas and studying for an exam again in the first days of January - I assume that I will feel relaxed even although I don’t really have holidays. Anyways, great times lying ahead and I’m finally starting to get ready to rumble!
