My first week at work is behind me. And I can’t complain. I’m starting around 8am and usually don’t get out by 5pm. It’s a big change, I’m very tired when I come home and I just wane sleep. But I think I’ll get used to it – I mean I’ll do it the next three years and when I go to university I even need to get up earlier. But all in all it was a great first week. My co-workers are very nice, my boss too. I can learn a lot there. And even my boss seems to be pretty happy with my work, today he came to me and said that he needs to talk to me. Of course I thought I did something wrong, but he set down and said that he never had a student before who is so hardworking, passionate and brings so many new ideas. Seems like I have done something right …

After such a good week, my weekend should be even better. Marcel is in town, juhu! He picked me up from work and together we went to my apartment. It was the first time he saw it – actually the first time anybody saw it (besides my family). It’s still not finished, there are still so many things to do but I think he liked it :-)! Anyway, it was good to see him, we went out for coffee and dinner. Since Dresden has a Starbucks of course we went there and had Sushi later, yummy. Waiting for Danilos call, we picked him up later too and drove to a friends house. There was a small surprise BBQ for Marcel (it’s his Birthday tomorrow, but psst)! It was freaking cold but we still were sitting outside, eating food which was cold too and just getting some warm fingers from the bonfire and big candles. It was fun, at 12am we could say Happy Birthday and enjoyed some warm red wine (called Glühwein). Later Nadja, Danilo, Marcel and I went home and stayed all at Danilos apartment … remembered me on our roundtrip to Canada and to New York – good times.
