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.

Home

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...

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...

Waiting

Why do we spend our whole life waiting? We´re waiting for the next weekend, vacation, for school to be over, the apprenticeship being over, having finished studying. We are waiting for someone to reply to our texts, to call back. We are waiting for our crush to notice us, for our parents to realise that we´ve grown up, for finally meeting our favourite celebrities. We spend our whole life waiting for it to finally begin. Why do we do that? What do we want to achieve by that? Why can´t we just stop waiting for a moment and cherish the little things we have? Like the fact that today, right now is happening and I am right here, being able to do anything I could imagine. School is preparing us for later but of what use are the lessons if we ignore them because we´re too busy to wait for later to happen. If someone doesn´t reply straight away they are probably busy with something else, maybe with being happy about their life (or homework) - you are not the only person in their life and ...
