People have no clue

When you work in an organization like I do, people have no clue what it is you actually do all day. If you even do something at all. It is quite frustrating! I haven't figuren out yet how to deal with that. I see it with my dad as well. That people have the same thoughts about his job. It is frustrating and it makes me sad how shortsided people can be.

Studying!

Almost 4 years after graduation from my master  I am going to study again. Really small in comparison as I am just going to follow one course, but I am going to study again. I like it. Yesterday I applied for the course and within 7 working days I will receive my course material. I am going to do a course introduction in health psychology. I feel it fits quite nicely with my master in health Sciences - Public Health. So lets hope it does fit and perhaps we can do some more courses then. This one is financed by my employer. But of course my employer will not finance any other studies if they don't have a direct usability for my job, or if my contract won't be prolonged. And that is getting a little bit more scary every day. Finally I feel like I am settling in. In these past 2 years I had some different projects and all, and from the beginning of this year I finally feel a bit like I am in the right place. And maybe now when my contract will end, it won't be prolonged. Heard some colleagues talk about the same subject yesterday. Talking about there own career paths. So it made me realize to indeed go on an active search around summer. But I keep postponing it. First because my contract had been prolonged each time, second because I am not so good with change and like to hold on to what I know and third because I finally feel like I am fitting in job wise.

Countdown 10 weeks to go

A new countdown! This time for a nice city trip to Rome! Only 10 more weeks to go. I have visited Rome 2 times before. Once when I was 9and once when I was 23. The first time I was in Rome I went with my gymnest club. We went there for training with one of the great gymnastic teachers. It was wonderful going there with all my friends. Even though we went there for the sport we also got a chance to see a bit of the city. But when you are 9 years old you don't care much for the ancient Rome we came across there. When I was 23 I went there with my boyfriend. Several years older I now was interested in the history of the city, but I also just wanted to enjoy a nice citytrip. This time we are going with the family. My parents, my parents-in-law and my brother-in-law are joining us. I am very much looking forward to it! So finally my 'Ciao' will make sense!

Hello spring

Looking at the calendar, we have entered a new season. Spring is here! My favorite season. The sun will come out more often, the temperature will rise, flowers will start to blossom, you can hear the birds. I love it! It seems like everything will come to life again after the wintersleep. While typing this I feel a little spring sun on my skin. But it's still small. Our calendar says it's spring, hopefully the weather outside will continue to say so as well. But then again, we are only still in March. The weather can go up and down.
