Gee – it’s been ages since I wrote anything in English. So here’s a short-ish update on what has happened of late: Well, we spent Christmas on our own in our teeny-tiny little apartment, celebrated New Years Eve at Skjoldhøjkollegium and Easter separated – the master in Aalborg with the in-laws and me on my own in our new house. A yes, we’ve moved AND we’re going to get married! Both are exciting but in comparison to the later seems the organisation of a moving like a kiddie game. Anyway: priest, invitations and food are asked, sent and ordered, so roll on July 7th – we’re ready for the I do’s!
As for the house – it’s beyond words! I love living in the countryside again. As corny as this may sound but there are really birds that weak us up most mornings with their funny twitchering. We have a lot of fun finding furniture, setting it together (ok – that’s a blatant lie as it most times ends in yelling!) and even more so, just sitting around in the kitchen or the livingroom, enjoying all the space we’re having. It’s actually nice again to invite people (in our old flat it was more a nuisance than anything else)!
Last weekend for instance, we had Lejla and Yarl over for dinner. Lejla is my friend from the old language center times three years ago.She’s the only one from that class that I’m still really in touch with… we’re in fact a lot closer now than we were back then. She and her boyfriend founded a travelling company SpaTours for wellness and spa trips to different destinations in South and Eastern Europe. The little hesitating and shy Swiss girl that I am is amazed by there courage to just go for it and start their own company! Lejla’s told me about the finding of new hotels they could work with, that they test them themselves before they make any contracts with them and every now and then, they organise group trips that they guide themselves. If only I’d like special baths but as it is, I always enjoyed the regular pool the most.
What else is there to talk about? I’m still job-hunting but I can finally see light on the horizon! I had a job interview last friday and it went really well. The guy wanted take a decision the same even but postponed it because he got some last-minute internal applications. Well, we’ll see. I’m talking with (yet) another job agency and am curious how that’ll go. I tried to sign up for Danish classes again but got told that it’s been too long since my first enrollement to still qualify for cheap integration courses. I’m trying to convince them otherwise and hope they’ll give they’re consent.
