First week of working is over and weekend is here to wind down a bit...
it's getting better by the day:i love the city, the internship,
my desk at the office(yes, i have a desk with a pc and a phone, personal email etc), my "roomates", the black cat-although this last few days i m this close to throwing him out of the window, he keeps complaining for something in his own language...
Yesterday T and K (roomates) invited my to a birthday party of one of their friends.It was really cool because the friend is about 60 years old but she is not like the 60 years old i m used to seeing in Greece.Actually, everyone at this party was quite...irregular.They were all very artistic and active and kind of crazy,though the majority of them wa
s at least 55 years old.I guess i met the "boheme" genevoises:)
K is also alittle onthe crazy side, never married, with a daughter who has a baby and she is also not married, K is living now with her bf, T, who is 6 years younger than her...When she was young she travelled a lot, mostly latin America, and even now that she is retired and 66 years old, she s still very active and, well, crazy!T is much calmer, i think it's what they say, opposites attract...
There was a really hot guy there yesterday, about my
age, wish he would have talked to me...Anyway, i didnt stay around much, i left around 9.30 because i was soooo tired and i also wanted to enjoy the house all alone, it s not that often that no one is in the house.I start to miss those moments in Strasbourg when I was all alone in the room and didnt have to care about making noise etc:P
Today the weather was once again beautiful, lots of sun and clear blue sky, so i went a big walk, to discover a part of the city.I went around the quartier des paquis and then the pont du mont blanc and then down town, where all the fancy shops are-by the way, as soon as my laptop needs to be replaced(though i hope it wont be very soon) i m so getting a macbook, i went by the huge apple store and i fell in love all over again with them...i
would love a mac air but it's way too expensive:(
I grabbed a bite at a brazilian sandwich shop at another lovely quartier de geneva(eaux de vives) and then headed back home, but first stopped by payot library.Bought 3 novels that i have been wanting to read them for a veeery long time, a dictionary for legal terminology and a book on international law, i spent a lot,m but i think its worth it!
And now, almost 10 o clock, i m enjoying the empty house:took a bath, cleaned up a bit, progressed with the room's decoration, now i m e
ating a green salad while Tango (the cat) is sleeping on my bed and trying to figure what should i do next...write some postcards to send on monday on my way to work or watch a film on my laptop?God bless mininova, i can choose between slumdog millionaire, the reader and revolutionary road:)Last week i downloaded and watched twilight(cant understand why all the fuss about) and confessions of a shopaholic, malheureusement i only found the french version of this one...
K and Tango:)
