Jitz hani's deh bau gseh...
Yes it is challenging and exciting. And to my surprise I still learn things, in spite of my environment having become normality. After a while you are just tired of the daily challenges. You just want a life. An own one. An own room, a proper job, hobbies. People that think like you do, the food you miss, the friends that you want to see, not only hear through a shaky Internet connection.
My visa has an expiry date on it. I am going to have to fly home in a bit of time. I might be given the opportunity to come back, by one or the other. Do I want to? I spent my vaccation with people who had decided some while ago to stay for longer. I thought maybe I should as well. On the other hand I thought of people who might have stayed for too long. If I stay, what do I gain in addition? There is for sure a price to pay for it. Is it worth it? This is the question to be answered. I thought I had answered it for myself, but maybe I am still waiting for people to ask me again.
Having spent weeks on thinking which step might be the best for the future, and actually taking already steps into different directions, I thought about what I had considered as future career paths one year ago. And to be honest, I am still on track. My plans might look random in the first place, my CV as well. However, they are not. By the end of the day: 10 years ago I wanted to become a political scientist, 5 years ago I wanted to get that job in the airport, 3 years ago I had decided I wanted to run for MC; and I wanted to work in Asia for a while. Working in a multinational (for a while at least) looked always a goal worth achieving.
So what's wrong? My head is full of ideas (one always being an alternative to the other). It is not that I have no plan. I have several, as always. One backing up the other.

Ah, this post and your thoughts are very familiar....we're getting older :-) And as you've said, you're on track !! I am not sure yet if that is the case for me, haha, but I am getting there.
Take care, and good luck with your decisions for future steps! Remember to not compare your life with other people's lives, or to be influenced by their decisions.
Bisous,
Carissa
oh yes... too familiar! ig has de o bau gseh (mis barnduetsch isch super, he?), chli heimat cha nid schade... muntsch, cileia
naja am Ende ist man glaube ich nie on track, sondern nutzt die Alternativen die da so vorbei kommen, ohne jemals daruerb nachgedacht zu haben. 1. kommt es anders und 2. als man denkt...
link doch auch mal auf mich... gruss
hör doch einfach auf wenns am scöhnsten ist...wenn diese zeit vorbei ist, dann: hurry up und komm zurück...:-) ne scherz, wie carissa sagt: lass dich nicht beeinflussen von anderen und mach das, was dir dein bäuchlein sagt...übrigens: auch wenn du zurück kommst, hör nicht auf zu bloggen, ich lieeeeebe deine posts nämlich!
