Life at work

Hey my gorgeous Snowglobes!

I know, I know: I should post more than I currently am. But my apprenticeship isn´t the easiest one and when I´m finally home, I just want to relax most of the time. So that´s why you hear so little of me (I still have to edit and upload a YouTube video and shoot another one, too ...).

BUT: as work is getting in my way of being present on the internet, I decided that the internet is here (if you´re a Phan you´ll get the reference XD) to rumble about everything, so today I´m talking about my work.
I´m an apprentice and training to become a specialist in media and information services, on the subject of libraries. Long name, I know. And no, it is not the same as a librarian. Main difference: You´ve got to study to become a librarian, but what I´m doing is just an apprenticeship. Also we get less money XD I love my job nonetheless (even after only 3 months of work).
What am I actually doing? Well, I´m working in different departments throughout the next three years. Until now I´ve been in the department called "media services", where I´ve issued library cards, accounted the borrowing and return of books and learned stuff like what happens when a book is missing and if our customers don´t pay their fees. I loved it there so much! We rotated every hour, so that you´ve never worked too long at the same thing and had a change between working with customers and working on your own.
The last three weeks I´ve attended vocational school. It was alright. But I love my English lessons! The teacher is amazing, I really like her. She´s got something about her - her character is worth being studied for a character in my book perhaps. And I´ve been asked about three or four times if I´ve spend a lot of time in England, because of my accent. The reaction is always funny when I say that I´ve literally been there for only a week and that three years ago already :D
Now I´m in a divided department - partly in the area where all the books and the customers are (where I shelf books and magazines - how challenging, I hope they have something a tad more difficult in store as well - and where they explain me operations for lost books and co.) and the area of the procurement of the books (where I´ve got nothing to do as well because we´re getting a new computer system for the library called "Alma" and that means that most operations are temporarily frozen). It´s quite alright there though. I mean I´ve only been there for the third day today. And the shelving is actually quite fun. And I´m nevertheless quite sure that I´ve found my dream job.
Let´s see what the future holds in store.

So that was it from me for today. I´ll try to write something else soon, I promise!
Love you, peeps. And always remember: You are not alone. Stay safe and cherish the little things. I believe in and care about you.

I found this quote today: and it got me thinking … Home isn´t a place, it´s a feeling. And even though I love my family and the house we´re living in and my friends and my work and basically everything – I haven´t come home yet. Maybe I felt home when I was little, when my only worries where to get a new dress for my Barbie dolls or to get that new Benjamin Blümchen cassette. But I can´t really remember it. So I´m sitting here on my bed, which I also really love btw and where I cuddle myself in my sheets when I´m scared or really really sad, and I wonder if I ever find my home, where I truly belong to. I like to believe in true love and that my soulmate is somewhere out there and that he is my home. Sometimes I dream about my future and see myself living in England, being married and having two daughters. In those moments I feel as if I´m almost there. I feel happy and can´t wait for my future to turn to the present. But what if I´m wrong? What if I don´t have...

The Future

Hello my sparkling Snowglobes! I hope you´re fine today :* Initally I wanted to talk about seasons, Autumn to be exact. But then another thought hit my brain: Where will I be in a few years? You know, I always had that dream that one day I will be living in England, London or a bit outside of London, working in a library. I still want that, but when exactly is "One Day" ? I´ve only just started my training to become a specialist in media and information services in a library, which means I´ll have to stay in Berlin for at least another three years, until I´ve finished that training. And after that maybe another year so that I can work in that branch for a bit. And then? The thought that I could literally move to England in four years scares me a bit. Of course moving there isn´t everything. I will have to look for a flat first and find a job. Not an easy thing. You probably can´t understand why I want to move to England. Or maybe you can. It´s just so weird, especially ...

Moving Out & stuff

Hey Ho my friends!! I´m going on an adventure! Nah, not really. But I´m moving out and that´s kinda the same, innit? My very first and very own flat. And it´s perfect. About 60 square-metres, 2 rooms (plus kitchen, bath and the hallway), a pantry and a balcony <3 We´re still painting the walls and laminating the floor but if everything goes to plan, I shall move in during the first weekend in January! I am so excited. After all, it´s what I always wanted! I´ll let you know once I live there. Other news include: I´ll stay in Bath for 8 weeks next year, for an internship #superexcited and my English teacher proof-reads the translation of my book "Don´t forget me" (working title) #stillexcited AND most importantly: I collected all my bravery and told my kinda-crush about my feelings for him (which are super confusing) and he was really sweet and chill about it. We decided to stay friends (because I´m not sure if I love him as a friend or more and he only said he likes...
