temporary voluntary repatriation

Switzerland, here I come again! or more precicely, Bern, are you ready?? I will be doing an internship in Bern for the next 6 month. I am very very happy that it worked out, very keen to see how its gona be, excited about moving to a new place again and to be closer to my loved swiss friends. that's about that.

and then.. I am very very sad to leave berlin, very sad to say goodbye to my amazing friends here, sad to leave all the nice bars, caffes, clubs, streets, markets, gyms, flats and friends, and friends, and friends. But well. Thats life! and its only for 6 month!! And then we'll see again what life has in store...

And for now.. woooohooooo.. lets enjoy my days left in berlin - lets be excited about my days to come in bern!
And obviously.. YOU ARE ALL VERY WELCOME TO COME AND VISIT!! and some of you guys know that this is not only an invitation but more of an order! I'll be waiting...
Schweiz, hier bin ich wieder!! oder eher, berner giue u modis, siter paraat?? Ich werde die nächsten sechs monate ein praktikum in bern machen und freue mich riesig darauf! ich bin super glücklich dass es funktioniert hat, und super gespannt wie es werden wird, freue mich mal wieder mein Zelt an einem neuen Ort aufzuschlagen, eine neue Stadt kennen zu lernen.. und natürlich darauf wieder näher von meinen super freunden dort zu sein.. soviel dazu..

aber dann. bin ich auch super traurig dass ich nun berlin so schnell schon verlassen muss, dass ich meine super freunde hier nicht mehr so viel sehen werde. ich werde die stadt, die märkte, die kaffees, die clubs, die bars und natürlich die menschen, meine freunde soooo vermissen. aber tja, c'est la vie. the show must go on. und ist ja nur vorübergehend... und natürlich wird mich meine oberflexible und reiselustige berliner-crew auch ganz fleissig besuchen... OOODER??!!

smile, tja, und jetzt pack ich mal alles an was noch gemacht werden muss bis ich ins zügli steigen kann. (man sagt dass seien ja noch so die eine oder andere sache....huuuiiiii)

JUUUHUUUIII.. freu mich riesig, und ich hoffe ihr freut euch euch für mich, egal ob ihr vom schweizer lager (dann freut ihr euch ja HOFFENTLICH!!) oder von der berlin-crew (aaaaaachhh ich weiss...snif) seit.

Bis bald, hier oder dort!!
kiss'n'hug

sorry my loved ones that this blog was so quiet for a while. but here are some pics from the time since i posted the last thing. i was in basel, in italy and had a good time in berlin. right now school is giving us a hard time by beeing a pain in the ass when it comes to fulfill its duties, but hopefully that will pass.... and were just at the edge of starting e-learning. meaning 2 month of hardcore writing essays. but im looking forward to it. big kisses and even bigger hugs to everyone!!
