My other life

No I don't spend (or waiste, actually) my time in or with "second life" but right now I am living another life. Not a student life. A "normal" life people my age usually live. With a paid job from Monday to Friday. I commute to Zurich every day which takes me 20 minutes and even gives me the possibility to leave with my Mum in the morning and to talk to her in the car.

Zurich! Not Winti, Zurich! I can even enjoy lunch at the lake, how cool is that?! Finally I am back in the CITY and I am soo glad. I can meet up friends for lunch, I can go shopping, I can return my books to the library.. Very nice! You can't imagine how much I missed that. I used to be in Zurich everyday for over 10 years before I had to go to Winti. At least I get a break from that. No hour-long stop and go by train only a 20 minute ride. No cafeteria and students but colleagues at work.

I am even the youngest - what a change!! And then there is work itself. I have responsibilities, I can handle cases, real cases, nearly on my own and I can talk to the clients. It is SOOOO nice. It's a nice paid, 8 to 5 job which will definitely help me for the future. I already learnt a lot, things I might not have learnt at university. Oh how I love working! I could never be only a student, I always knew that but now I understand that even better. I need a certain "real-life" feeling otherwise I go mad. I like to be able to do what I need to do when I want to do it but I also need some pressure to work best (which might be the reason why I always end up doing things at the last minute...). Don't get me wrong, I like studying, I really do. I like what we learn and I enjoy the subjects. I really know that this is what I have always wanted to do and I enjoy it. Being a student gives you many opportunities and I want to use (most of) them. But I could never be a student for a indefinite period - I would go crazy!

You might wonder what I babble about, I will tell you :-). I am doing an internship at the moment. This internship is compulsory for my studies. Which is a good thing because otherwise I probably wouldn't be around at this moment, I would be in South America or Ireland, traveling or working and having the time of my life. But being obliged to do this internship showed me that there are other possibilities after my study that I have not tought about earlier. I am working in a insurance company. A legal costs insurance. In case of legal problems you can turn to them for advice and they will help you out or pay even pay you the costs of a lawyer. On the presumption that you are insured...

And then there is my other job: my beloved children at the crèche in the fitness club. I really missed them as well. They are so cute and it just feels so good to finally cuddle a baby again. And we have some new ones, very small ones. They weren't even born when I left for Dublin, incredible. Last weekend we already had 18 children at 10.15 in the morning, that was fun - and loud ;-).

Yes I am happy, like most times :-) and I am glad about it. Life is beautiful!
