Longing For Spring IV

Last week I did quite a few things. As I don't have any lectures, I went to the gym three times and even cycling one morning though it was bloody cold. I always went working after my workout at the gym and later went to Valentina each day!

But first I should start with last sunday. As it was a really beautiful and pretty warm day, Valentina and I went out for a walk to Stetten, a village up in the hills and therefore always oustide the thick fog we have down in Schaffhausen. What we saw was just fantastic! The snow covered Alps seemed to be just one arm's lenght away... We walked and walked until the sun finally set. The last part of our walk led us through a rocky wood section, I've last been ten or more years ago with my grandparents...

Then on Tuesday I got a new mobile, the Sony Ericsson W910i with a contract that enables me to call Valentina for free after 8PM. It has a built-in 2 megapixel cam and a fantastic screen. A big improvement compared to my old one...

As Thursday was once again a beautiful day, Valentina and I went to see the Rhine Fall in the afternoon. During the winter season, it's not that spectacular as in summer, as the Rhine doesn't carry much water. However it was beautiful and we made many pictures :-)

To complete this week Valentina and I went skiing and snowboarding in Davos on Sunday. Actually we had tickets for the Jakobshorn area, but they had to close down everything couse of a winter storm (in the italian part of Switzerland the temperature rised as high as 22°C). So we got new tickets for the Rinerhorn area, which was much smaller but we could still enjoy that day up in the mountains.

All in all it was a fabulous week, mainly because I could spent a big deal of my time with Valentina!

Longing For Spring III

Finally I found some time for my blog! ;-) I had my last two exams last week, and now I get my marks day by day. The best I had so far was a 5.75 in food processing. Actually I now have winter break until the beginning of February. But I decided to work every second day at the agency to earn quite an amount of money. Besides I'm going to the gym three times a week and dropped my coffee consumption to one coffee a day. I want to be in shape for the SOLA race in May and the summer in general!

Then I changed my education plans. As I finish my Bachelor Studies in June, I decided not to continue immediately with my Master Studies but to work for half a year as a Trainee. I sent my application to several companies in the food sector. As at today I already had one job interview and I also got the job. But as the salary is pretty low I might cancel.

Then I've spent much time with my girlfriend Valentina. We went to Geneva by train on a cold but in the end sunny day and strolled around the Old Town and the Lake Side. I really enjoy being with her in another city where we both could discover unknown spots and places!

Nota Bene: The picture in this post is the first one that has been processed with Picasa. My girlfriend did a great job!
