First week at work is over. They were rather surprised about my contract, since it says I would only have to work for 2 or 3 days per week. I was surprised, too, and I did not intend to stay at home half of the time. Until now, work is fun. I learn a lot of new things and from different study fields over politics of the European Central Bank, through international card business to a lot of programming stuff. If you ever hear about SEPA then you know the initial cause why I have a job. I need all this background knowledge for my thesis, of course, but I also need these kind of information for motivation. Just working for being busy is frustrating.
On Wednesday Maritha came over to Aken for a few days. During the days we went seperate ways while she studied and I worked, but in the evening we took the opportunity to get to know the city. Therefore, my first week was even more exciting than it should have been usually. On Saturday morning she left back to Den Haag. That we were busy with working and studying was not too bad, since it was raining all day long anyway. During Sunday the weather changed and I climbed on the Lousberg where you can overview the city. I've never been there. The way is nice. Having a view over Aken is not that amazing. Although it is pretty from the inside, from above it is only ugly. But the parks on the mountain are nice and I took my time to explore the ways up and down.
I guess time of experiencing a lot of new things is over now. I expect routine to take over. For contrast I applied for tabletennis and plan to visit a salsa-fest in two weeks. I am curious how it will differ from the Swedish-Cuban-Salsa.
