On a day like today.: Schönes Wochenende!

Hallo!

Okay it has been about one week since my last post, but it feels like at least a month!

So much has happened, unfortunately it is not things that are fun to write or read about, mostly work...

I think that a key word that would describe my day would be "learning". Where ever I go I constantly need to "learn", and I do, I learn new things with almost every breath and I love it! At work this week has mostly gone to learning about the products which to me is like Chinese, it is a whole new world, and very interesting! I like my work very much and I like the fact that it is cohesive with my education ( which is the point with this internship, but still, you never know!)

I am also CONSTANTLY trying to learn german, it is sehr schwer! In the morning I watch the news (in german of course) at work I try to follow the conversations, then at lunch I try to speak, when I get home I write down a recap of the words and phrases I have learns during the day, to remember them...my favorite word of today is "Gebäude" which means building, nothing special but it is fun to say haha :P In the evening I try to watch some TV, but the TV in my room is very old and makes a weird noise that I cant get rid of (and it is not the german language I am referring to...hehe). Last night I watched Pearl Harbor, it went quite good, mostly because they don't say much in that movie haha!

Another phrase I have learned is "Malzeit" which kind of means "meal time" but at ABB it is used as a greeting like "good morning" but at lunch time, form what I have understood it is very typical "german workplace greeting" and not used outside of work. So from 11:30 until 14 or so, there basically isan eco of "malzeit" where every you go in the office.

Lunch at work is quite nice, which is good cause I'm not doing much cooking in my small apartment, so far it has been free for me which is even nicer :). Yesterday was "sexy Gemüse"- day, it is some type of vegetarian dish, I had goulash but I loved the name "sexy Gemüse" haha (gemüse means vegetable, or if you are from the Mårtensson family it can also meen that some thing is cosy or nice, that meaning would actually work better with "sexy Gemüse" but maybe not as a meal hehe)

Well now it is weekend, I have not decided what to do yet, maybe I will go to Heidelberg tomorrow if the weather is nice :)

Schönes Wochenende!
