New Stuff...

Well it has been a good week... Sunday was just the worst day ever, but thank goodness its my last Sunday without something to do. I really don't know how people survive it!

Lately I've been doing a lot of research and planning for the next year. Actually I think it's dumb to plan ahead, since stuff can change SO fast, but I happen to find it dumber to not plan at all. So I've been looking for internships in Germany... there are two companies I have my eye on for next summer (starting in May), which would put me back in lovely Germany for anywhere from 2-6 or more months... depends on which company I am accepted at. Possible locations include Frankfurt and Munich. I kind of prefer Munich, since it is farther away from Koblenz... not that I hate Koblenz or anything, its just that I have spent so much time in West Germany, I'd love to spend time in South Germany. Bavaria, yay! The weather seems to be better there most of the time anyway. Plus my relatives are there. But I think I'd get paid less in Munich... pros and cons. There are plenty plenty PLENTY of internships in Germany, many more than in the United States. In Frankfurt, I'd be there 2-3 months and get paid €800, whereas in Munich €600 and be there a minimum of 6 months... that is a big difference!! So I also kind of prefer Frankfurt for the money thing...

So those types of things have been consuming my thoughts lately, along with all the CRAP on my to-do list for when I get home, including search for a job for September--April. I may end up at Publix or something, lol... flexible hours, pretty good pay... probably more than I got working at the vet in ANY case. Perhaps I'll get a job at Siemens? The outlook is good. Maybe I won't do anything but be a lazy mofo..... but I can think of at least one person who wouldn't enjoy that (besides me).

This weekend I am going to Brussels, Belgium with Jenny and since we are getting back to Cologne early Sunday afternoon, we're going to have lunch there at a Mongolian restaurant. I'm looking forward to eating french fries and Belgian waffles!!!
