08.09.06's Adventure

So, today like the past 3 fridays I had a long break between teaching French and teaching Religion. It was lunch time and once again I walked to Coop. (see picture: it really is that one). I chose some nice food, paid and started looking for a free table. The only one was next to a really strange looking women. Ah well, it's ok:) So I sat there and ate...montch..montch...glug..glu... As I was about to finish, here's what happened.
Lady: oh, you also have a Sony Ericsson?
I look at my cellphone...
Yes, I do:)
It's a good cellphone, he?
Yes, it really is.:)
It's so funny we have exactly the same one!
Yeah, isn't it?
hmmm...
After a little break.
So where are you from? Germany?
(I really didn't want to tell the whole complicated story...)
Yes I am!
From where?
Well, I have lived 5 years in Berlin!
Oh, so cool! It's a beautiful city, isn't it?
Yes, I really love it!
So, what are you doing here? Working?
I am studying.
What?
To become a teacher!
Oh excellent! And then, you'll have to go back he?
No...I am half swiss!
Oh, right! You can!
[Follows a long conversation about her husband being South American and having a Swiss passport...-> He is no longer south american :'( ]
So, you teach languages he?
Yes, I do!
How many can you speak?
Hmm...4 and a half...
Really? Which one's the half?
Spanish.
Oh habla español?
Si un poquito!
Muy bien! Hablas muy bien!
Gracias... lo estudiò en la escuela para tre años!
[Follows a conversation in Spanish]
I can speak Spanish very well, and Sauili...
Hmm?
You know... Akuna Matata!
Oh, I know that!
Yeah, it means "Forget it"!
Hehee, yeah, true.
But Akuna Matiti means bosom...hhahahahah
J:
Anyhow... we talked for a while and it was cool...She wished me all the best in the world and after speaking a bit in English and a bit in French I left. But we promised to see each other next week at the same place. Who knows... But it was so funny how she said that! I almost choked on my drink....:)

When people ask me, what I want to be or what I am studying, I can always see how the conversation will end. With laughing people. What is it with you people?

Yes, all of you...
Ok, better be going...

Wonder why teacher feel misunderstood after reading this? I don't;)

This is me

And now come the real me... here is a picture I took on my 16th birthday. Ah sweet days. We lived in Berlin! It's one of my favourite cities in the world... and will always be. I lived there for 5 years. We arrived there from Naples when I was 13 and I left when I was 18. So, every street, every corner...is forever linked with a day in my teenager years. Sentimental. I know. That's me.

Who am I...part II

So... after deciding Geneva was not the place I wanted to be I moved to Bern!
Leaving out the boring stuff...I'll just say that in December I moved in my first flat. I am on my own and am very happy.
I have a nice bedroom, a cosy living room and a little cute kitchen. Obvioulsy I bought everything in Ikea...where else? hehe

And now...the WHO-Question

So, who am I?
I am 21 years old. I have been living in Switzerland for the past 4 years. During the first one I was in Geneva. Beautiful city, really. But I wasn't actually really ready to live on my own and it was a very difficult year. I mean, when you've got a wonderful family, saying goodbye is very hard.
My mom cooks delicious things, she is always ready to help out, dreams with you, talks to you...She was always very busy, but I can't remember a day when I felt she hadn't paid attention to me. She used to sit down with us and play with the Playmobils. Or iron things while we watched cartoons (when we were little), 7th Heaven (when we were teens) and heartbreaking movies (The notebook;))
My dad used to bring me refreshing drinks when I was learning for my exams, he knows me very well, we are very much alike... and that's why sometimes we get on each other's system. But if there is a person who is able to understand me, that's him. And he is also the one who helps me come back down to earth.
Kikka, my sister. When she's around, I am more myself and not scared to let myself go. She'll laugh at my silly jokes, dance my stupid dances and listen to my silly talks. And she won't laugh;) If it hadn't been for her, I would not be who I am.
My baby sis' who's no baby anymore. Mischa;) We're very alike. We can talk for hours, kill each other one second, and the next be fooling around. When I go home, we always make lists of things we want to do. And spend the first day mostly in bed, talking and laughing...and sometimes sleeping...when I get home at 6 in the morning.
My little brother. I asked to have one for christmas. And got him in september. Not bad. He is adorable. We like to do things together and fight over who's football team will win. (Juventus-me <-> Inter-him).
So, that's not me. But these are the people I can be myself with. So they are a big part of the question: who am I;)

Where? How Long?

The why being answered;) ... here come the other questions.
So, I am studying in Bern... And on the 24th of october I'll start the 5th semester. Yeahy!! I only have to do 3 after this and I'll be a REAL teacher. My..oh...my!

How it all began

When people get out of school- finally- the only thing they are sure of is, that they will never go back in there. Normal. It was awful, boring and all that goes with that.
But what if you enjoyed school? Not because of Maths, Biology, Chemistry... but because of French, English, Italian and German! Because of those teacher who loved it so much, they made you love it too! Because of all those books you have read and loved because they made you grow!
Well then, there is no other solution. As soon as you leave school, you miss it. So what can you do but become yourself a teacher:) And teach with passion the art of communicating with people from different countries?
So, after thinking for a year, that I should become a primary school teacher... I changed to secondary school. I knew right away what my subjects should be... Italian, French, English and Religion. I have never regretted doing so.
