Short Note!

I am off work!

Amazing!

Totally Forgot!

I totally forgot to mention that yesterday when I came home from work I had a Kinder Surprise on my table! A. did bring it to me from town since she knows that I like them. The chocolate was delicious and the surprise inside was perfect; it was a model of the new Airbus plane, the A380. I really like this small model and it is ok, that it is from Singapore Airlines and not from Lufthansa - which would have been one of the other choices.

Anyways, I just got home from work and have been talking to A. for some minutes. She is fine in Hamburg and did meet some acquaintances who she had met in Australia back in the days. She seemed really good and I guess she will tell you more about her future soon on her blog. 

I will enjoy my beer now and will go to bed soon. Tomorrow at 11 o'clock T. is coming here to meet me. I haven't seen him for quite some time and I guess it will be good!

Home Alone - again!

I just came back from the train station to where I brought A. this early morning! She is going to Hamburg for her interview and seeing the workplace. I am actually quite sure, that they want to hire her, it somehow seemed like it from what A. told me!

Now I am home alone again and will spend the two days working. I guess I will meet up with a friend tomorrow before work; I haven't seen him for over 3 years, although we are living quite close. I can't wait for the week to be over soon; this was really the maximum time I was able to stay in that job!

Anyways, one thing more: On the way to the station there was the best sky I have seen for quite some time! It was amazing and one of these picture moments, that really last just one minute or even less. Unfortunately I didn't had my camera with me and also no time and space to stop. So it will stay just a picture in my head; but be assured, it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

Finally Some Motivation Again!

I am working morning shifts this week and this means getting up at 4 in the night. Understandably I am always super tired when coming from work and therefore I wasn't at all in the mood to write here. But now I am a bit more alert; The sun is shining today and A. and I had our afternoon coffee outside. We wanted to sit on the terrace in the back of our house, but there was no sun anymore and so we simply sat down at the end of our driveway directly at the street. Some neighbors passed by and it was nice to see them again.

 

 

 Now A. and I just watched How I met your Mother and I felt like writing. For some reason I also did not feel very creative during the weekend and although I actually planned to write I didn't. Actually it was quite nice, the weather was good and we spent a lot of time outside. We walked to Holland and Belgium and had a Mediterranean evening, where we ate Spanish cheese and Canarian potatoes and other things from the region together with my parents. It was really nice and we all enjoyed the food a lot!

While I was working the last days A. was going out and more importantly applying to many companies all over the western part of Germany, hoping to find work. I think its very good that she is doing that and not just hanging around. I know that she really needs a rhythm and a life, otherwise she would go crazy. On the other hand this also means, that I have to see where she goes and have to think if I will move there with her together. This totally depends obviously how far it is from there to my university town; I am in the end still a student and have to focus on finishing my studies first!

Anyways, yesterday after work A. and I just had to get out of the house and I am glad, that she convinced me to go to the city. My dad dropped us close to the center and we had a stroll around. We were walking through the shops and were just enjoying to be around some people. I found a nice pair of shoes and some more ideas for clothes. However, I wasn't really in the mood for cloth shopping and since we both got hungry, A. and I had dinner at a bakery in the city center.

I am really happy, that she is here with me and is keeping my morale up all the time. She is giving me the energy that I need for work and makes the time after work so much more enjoyable. She even writes me short letters and notes for when I am getting up. These really helps getting through work! I really love her!

Dull Life!

I am sorry for not writing for such a long time! But I have my reasons; my life is super dull at the moment and since I am anyways not doing anything worth telling about I am also not in the mood to write here!

I moved back to my hometown and back into my childhood home, which meant giving up a lot of freedom. Don't get me wrong, I am liking the fact that the fridge is always full, my clothes are always clean and the food is ready well before I have to leave for work. But to be honest, this is exactly what annoys me, this is exactly what I am sick and tired of already!

I moved out nearly four years ago and was - with a short intermission when coming from my internship on Tenerife - living not at home and also not in my hometown. I was living in Bad Honnef, where my university is, in Helsinki for my year abroad and in Oslo for my second internship. I was used to buy my own food, to cook for myself and to make sure that I had something clean to wear every day. I was free and - more or less - independent!

Now I am back home and, as I said, gave up this freedom. Most of the people I had contact with moved away from Aachen and to the few that stayed I have basically no contact to. I also have no real motivation to call them; the weather is gray and rainy all the time and I am spending most of the day working or can't stay out long, since I have to get up at 4 a.m., when having the morning shift. After working mornings I am too knackered to do anything; A vicious circle!

Also work is not giving me anything. I am working in a airline catering company and doing a very brain-dead job. I am not really the solely physical worker anyways, I always need to use my head too otherwise I get bored. This job is really not my think and I dislike it a lot! But I do not really have a choice right now; OK, I could just quit, but then I would be without a job and without money. And actually this was the main purpose I went back home: to earn some money and have no expenses when living at my parent's.

Anyways, my life is quite dull, as I said! A. is gone to Gran Canaria, lazing in the sun and I am here in the gray and cold Germany not doing anything. I am living with my parents again, who I really appreciate and especially for the fact, that I can use my mum's car all day long without her minding. But I know I annoy them quite a bit and they annoy me as well. During the last years of not living at home I grew up and developed my own rhythms and - mostly bad - habits. They are not always easy to cope with and especially for my parents it's hard, now that I am intruding their life again!

I really hope, that I will survive the next three weeks at work and that I wont be bored to death! I hope also, that my parents wont throw me out and that I am not annoying them too much. I hope further, that A. will find a job here in Germany close-by and that we can move together in a flat there! This is it; Three wishes for the next couple of months, I think I didn't ask too much!

Nothing New!

I am sorry for not writing again the whole week! I had the morning shift, which meant that I had to start work at 5 o'clock and that again meant to get up at 4 o'clock in the night! It was really tiring and I didn't like it at all! Although you are done by 2 p.m. and have the rest of the afternoon you are normally not doing anything since you are so knackered from getting up so early!

So I spent the last week working the early mornings and just hanging around in the afternoon. I normally went to bed round 9 or 10 at the latest to get at least 6-7 hours of sleep! The job itself is not very challenging; as I wrote, the company is producing airline food and my task is to supply the women at the conveyor belt with food, meaning the food they put into the bowls which you get in the airplane. I hope you know what I mean!

Anyways, the whole week I was tired and I am still. The weather is not really nice, wet & cold! A. is not here, but luckily she is coming back tomorrow; I miss her so much. She has been away for 10 days, which was way too long!!!

Now I am sitting here, doing basically nothing and will soon go to clean up my room a bit and I will shave! I used the time that I was alone to grow a beard... well to be honest, it just happened since I was too unmotivated to cut it!

The Weekend!

This was a short weekend! Friday I worked until 10 in the evening and tomorrow morning I have to get up at 4 since I am starting at 5 o'clock! This will be the whole week like this and I am really annoyed at this, but what can I say, I knew it before! It's also quite boring, but as I told A. several times and what I tell my self all the time: I am going to be happy about the work when seeing the money on my bank account!

Anyways, the weekend was pretty eventless! I was home alone without A. and I really missed her a lot! It's again weird to be alone after such a long time together. At least I have something to occupy my mind, although I am not using my brain too much while working.

Anyways, I was bringing away some old papers and was buying a new wiper for the car of my mum. That was basically my weekend occupation. The rest of the time I was doing this and that. I actually was talking a lot with my parents and we were sitting always long after finishing the meals. It felt good somehow and was refreshing!

Now I am going to finish here and will fix myself and go to bed! I doubt however, that I will be able to sleep so early, but I should try at least; I dont want to be too tired at work tomorrow! 

I will also try to post more often again. I have the problem, that I ran out of space here on blogger. I think it's quite ridiculous to have just 1024MB of storage! With today's pictures this space is quite fast full. I am looking for a new hoster, but didn't come far with it yet, due to several reasons!

Anyways, I will go on posting here so long! There is not so much I am taking pictures of right now so I am fine! I will go on looking and will move the blog asap; I will keep you updated about it!
