How do I feel about EP

The answer is simple: VERY CONFUSED.

When I came back from my stage, I was telling everybody that I am really not longing for a job in any of European institutions. There were several reasons that supported my decision. Even today, when I was on my way to EP for a lunch, I was thinking about it. And to be honest, I felt so happy about not working there anymore. To specify my feelings, I think that I felt free. I had finally opportunity to walk around and I was not obliged to spend the whole day in the office.

But then I was told that one Slovak MEP is looking for a new assistant. And the moment of confusion came... Actually, I know that it is impossible for me to apply for this job. I will be studying in Louvain la Neuve, so there is no way to interrupt my studies. But if the situation was different, MAYBE I would be thinking about applying for it.

How come??? How is it possible that I am thinking about it, when few hours ago I was so sure about my attitude to all kind of jobs in EU institutions??

When I finally realize, what I really want???? I hope to be on my way to find it out...

Back in Strasbourg

Today at 6:35 am I arrived to Strasbourg with big backpack, heavy suitcase and small, but totally full small backpack. Actually, I was wondering a bit, how I will be able to get to the place, where I was suppose to stay. But luckily, Palo came to pick me up and helped me with the luggage. I was so grateful!!!

We met again for a lunch. He was busy at Parliament, but I was introduced to his friend Marek, stagiare at one Slovak MEP's office. Really nice and intelligent guy. And such a gentleman :-)) He is studying in London at the moment, living there with his parents who work at the embassy. We spent the whole afternoon together, 'cause he had no work in the office. Later I helped him with something that he had to do, at least, I had good feeling of being useful :-))

In the evening we went with Palo for a bike tour around Strasbourg. We were having nice time. Finally, we had opportunity to discuss personally several issues. I feel quite well after having these things clear...

Maroš

Two days ago I went for a beer with Maroš and his girlfriend Tea. We went to one open air pub, really nice place with country live music.

I have not seen Maroš for ages. Actually, it is a bit funny story. We met when we were 13 years old. We went for organised trip to London with our Mums :-)) And since then, we were accidentally seeing each other somewhere in Bratislava. As this summer we met accidentally two or three times, finally we decided to meet on purpose :-))

It was nice to talk to both of them. I like to discover people's way of thinking and acting in diferent matters.

Holidays are over?

After six weeks at home I continue the journey again. To be honest, I suppose that I spent much more time at home during this summer than during the past four years altogether.

Actually, I am leaving on Monday. I will go directly to Strasbourg, where I will spend just two nights. I hope to get to the roof of the Cathedral, because I still have not been there. In addition, I was thinking about spending one day in Colmar. Depends on weather, but I cannot wait to be in Strasbourg again. Obviously, it is MY city and a lot of nice memories are connected to this place ...

On Thursday, I will get back to Brussels and on Friday morning I will get finally to Louvain la Neuve, place, where I will spend next four and half months :-))

Enjoying holidays :-)

As I am preparing for tomorrow at the moment (I will be defending my bachelor thesis), I do not have so much time to write in details what I was up to. But basically, I was having great time.

Firstly, I spent one week at Rhodos at the seaside with my Mum.
Secondly, I went to the Slovak mountains, oh, it was just PERFECT!!! I love mountains and I feel so motivated to go back soon.
Then, on my way back to Prague, I met really nice guy. We started to talk and then he was playing the guitarre and singing (he wanted me to sing as well, but I did not feel like singing, ehm, finally, I tried a bit hehe :-)) He told me that he liked to write letters, so we decided to stay in touch by this mean of communication. Nice, isn't it? I even do not remember, when I wrote last letter.

Bratislava - my home

Finally, I had some time to walk around the city and to have a detailed look at it. I have not done this for quite a long time. I visited several places, where I used to go, but where I have not been for several years. I enjoyed it a lot.

Bratislava has changed a lot through years. Every time I come back home, I find some new building being built, or some new cafe or restaurant, or just some small detail that makes the city nicer.

I like to walk around the center by night, during summer nights it makes me feel good. Today we went for milk shake and Vinea (hmmm :-)) to one of those cafés at Hviezdoslavovo námestie. It is such a nice place, with nice trees and lights around. I realised that even if I do not spend so much time in Bratislava, I feel so comfortable and familiar with it. Still it is my HOME :-)

I did not expact that at all

When I was leaving Peru, I was perfectly prepared for come back home. I knew that I would be missing my second home and that it could be quite hard to feel well in Europe again. When the moment came, I was so happy and full of energy. Of course, I was missing my Peruvian friends, food, weather, basically everything. But I managed to get over it and decided not to bother my relatives and friends with bad mood.

When I was leaving Brussels, I did not expact to feel sad and to cry. But I did. What is more, I did not think that I would be missing the place so much. But I do. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
