Opposition in Switzerland?

Wow, looks like Blocher as part of the Bundesrat is a goner. More comments tomorrow, once we know whether Mrs. Widmer-Schlumpf accepts her election...

Yet Another Part-Time Job

Friday I went and got myself another part-time job in addition to teaching law & economics (which I'll only be doing until the end of January) and I will now teach English conversation, business English, etc. to business clients, my contract will be with this firm.

Other than that I'm still quite busy: I should be grading 59 exams right now, I regularly put my Sport-Abo to good use by going swimming and to the Sauna and I got myself invited to at least three christmas dinners;-). And of course there is still my thesis (now with new topic!).

By the way, Finland pictures are here. Oh, and I also had my first real CouchSurfing-experience in Helsinki last Sunday! I stayed last minute at a Turkish guy named Serkan's place and everything went smoothly. It really is a great system!

(Fluff) Friends

I got an invitation for the "(fluff) Friends" application on Facebook. I think I'll pass on fluffing my friends.

Back from Finland

Yesterday I got back from visiting my friend Immanuel in Turku, Finland for a couple of days (he's on exchange there). I'm also very busy this week, so a detailed post will have to wait. Don't get your hopes up though, I won't be able to tell you much about Finland, since I was definitely pro "party" in my inner "party vs. sightseeing"-debate...;-)

Damn Cold

...and I'm not talking abou the cold outside, I actually don't mind that. But I really hate that I caught an extremely annyoing cold just after I was thinking to myself last week how nice it was that I didn't have a cold at the moment while so many others did.

So today I'll meet my new professor to decide on a new topic for my thesis while coughing and blowing my nose all the time. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

First Snow!

Avec Papiers

Tadaaaaaaaaaaa! I know, it was about time...but better late than never, right?
