Reflecting the last months

Here I am, sitting in front of my computer reading blogs, searching facebook and just surfing around with the feeling that anyone else's life seems to be much more interesting than mine at the moment :-(
I got this feeling altough there's actually nothing I could complain about, there's no problem, it's just the thing, that I don't feel challenged at the moment... I'm missing to be stressed out ;-)

Well, I kind of chose this time voluntarily. I knew in the end of the semester that I won't start my traineeship before October, but I was also fed up with looking actively for a job, as I knew I got one and was not really eager do go cleaning, working on data or whatever typical summer jobs are...
In the beginning there were lots of options in my head like doing a CEED, looking for a job in the french part of Switzerland, helping on my relatives' farm and so on, but now, almost in the end of the 3 months, none of them is realized. I missed the point to go.

Looking back I'm not sure whether this was good or bad. Sometimes I really enjoyed to have a whole morning just for reading the newspaper, go jogging and cooking lunch for my family. I had a lot of time for myself and things like creating a photo album, reading books, watching soap operas, cooking, baking, all things I love doing, but usually don't find the time. On the other hand it took me also a lot more time to do things I had to do. For example studying, I have two exams next week and I already started to study about 2 weeks ago. But in my head was always the thought that I still have lots of time and don't really have to learn it by heart at that time. In this way I spent hours in front of my books, without really getting something into my head. Very efficient! ;-)

To conclude, the challenge was maybe to fill in the time with things I like to do, without getting bored. I managed this quite well. Another point is, that I probably won't have the chance to repeat this very soon, so it's good I experienced it.

Now, I'm looking forward to a quite packed weekend, and a hopefully challenging job, that is starting soon!!!
