Never thought that some of you never ever have given up hope to read something new on this blog. So maybe it has been the feeling that you guys were waiting for me out there, to go on telling how life treats me in Switzerland, which made this blog re-alive. ;o) Greets to Katja &amp; Sebi in Lilienthal and Colin from Siblingen :o) (the one soon being married, hehe) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, time has been running in the meantime. Some things persist others changed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I have not completed my studies, yet. Started some more intense work for the diploma thesis, however am far from what is supposed to be the final sentence on it. :o) Guess, some of you know what I mean ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still working for the operational accounting and controlling dpt. of the cantonal hospital Schaffhausen, which is still very instructive and quite interesting, though constantly in change due to steady changes in health policy and increasing requirements imposed on health institutions. However this is also what keeps work manifold and interesting day by day. I still like the job I do and the people I work with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My sister and her boy-friend recently went to Australia to reach the masters degree at the International College of Management Sydney until August 2008. It's been 4 weeks now that she left. I have not really realized it yet. We’re in touch every day, maybe that’s what makes me feel like she was closer to me. They also built a homepage to write about how life treats them day by day. Link: http://itsallaboutlocation.wordpress.com/ in case you are interested in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My younger brother turned out to be a little globetrotter since he committed himself to the German navy. It’s really cute reading his postcards from harbours all over Europe. It feels good to see him cut his own path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only part of my family living in Germany at the moment are my mum and my dad.  Actually they had planned to visit me about 3 weeks ago, however my mum had an accident then and has not recovered from it yet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the latest news are that I recently moved house. I finally gave up the apartment I rent in Bremen and took all things to Switzerland. I am now living in a 3 ½ room apartment in Beringen, 15 minutes distance by car from the city of Schaffhausen. It’s really nice here. Beringen is a smart growing suburb with a splendidly developed infrastructure – starting from supermarkets, school, lido to railway and bus station and millions of charming places … It has been a difficult decision then, however a good one in disguise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guys, hope you’re having a good time.&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care. &lt;br /&gt;Kiss&lt;br /&gt;Anett&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26789075-1409381130533697362?l=anett-friends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/feeds/1409381130533697362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26789075&amp;postID=1409381130533697362' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/1409381130533697362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/1409381130533697362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/2007/08/one-year-after-last-post.html' title='One year after the last post ...'/><author><name>Anett Wisniewski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17740015401983457685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26789075.post-114889928276730256</id><published>2006-05-29T03:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-29T03:46:18.456-07:00</updated><title type='text'>26th Birthday – Thank you !</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hallo zusammen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ganz herzlichen Dank für die vielen unheimlich lieben Gedanken und Glückwünsche, die mich gestern auf meinem Handy erreichten. Die Fülle an SMS hat mein Handy zeitweise doch auf eine harte Probe gestellt – Piepsen im Dauerton. Bin überwältigt, wie viele von Euch, die ihr alle doch so weit weg von hier seid (die entfernteste SMS kam aus Vancouver - vielen Dank Claudi) und zum Teil ziemlich lang nicht von mir gehört habt, an mich gedacht haben. Vielen Dank dafür ! Ja leider hat auch ein Geburtstag nur 24 Stunden – zu wenig um jede SMS zu beantworten. Daher richte ich mein Dankeschön nun auf diesem Weg an Euch. Es gilt jedem einzelnen und es soll zugleich eine Einladung an Euch sein, in Zukunft ab und an mal auf diese Seite zu schauen, wo ich versuchen werde Euch nun über die wichtigsten Geschehnisse meines Lebens hier vor Ort in der Schweiz auf dem Laufenden zu halten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/S4300016.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/320/S4300016.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Einige von Euch waren ganz gespannt, wie ich meinen Geburtstag gefeiert habe – unerwartet schön muss ich sagen. Eigentlich hätte ich den Tag sehr gern mit der Familie in Bremen oder Schaffhausen verbracht, nur dies hat sich aufgrund zeitlicher Umstände leider zerschlagen. Somit blieb ich in Schaffhausen. Den Mittag und den Nachmittag verbrachte ich mit einer Arbeitskollegin – nach einem leckeren Frühstück mit selbstgebackenem Zopf und feinem Lachs – am Rheinfall (ganz herzlichen Dank Marion !) und gegen den Abend hin war feines Kochen und Marathon-Backen für die lieben Kollegen im Geschäft angesagt. Ich sag das sicher selten – aber im Moment kann ich keinen Kuchen mehr sehen !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und das war er dann auch fast, mein 26. Geburtstag. Nun hoffe ich dass ich ganz bald auch mein mir eigens gemachtes Geschenk ganz offiziell haben kann – einige kennen es ja bereits, nur soviel: es hat 4 Rädli und hat unterdessen auch Platz auf dieser Homepage gefunden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich wünsche Euch allen eine gute Zeit.&lt;br /&gt;Liebe Grüsse und auf bald.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anett&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26789075-114889928276730256?l=anett-friends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/feeds/114889928276730256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26789075&amp;postID=114889928276730256' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/114889928276730256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/114889928276730256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/2006/05/26th-birthday-thank-you.html' title='26th Birthday – Thank you !'/><author><name>Anett Wisniewski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17740015401983457685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26789075.post-114831377689154215</id><published>2006-05-22T09:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-24T10:17:41.736-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Getting mobile - my first car</title><content type='html'>(D)&lt;br /&gt;Für die meisten ist es normal ihren Führerschein im Alter von 18 Jahren zu machen. Aber wie sagt man so schön: die Ausnahme bestätigt die Regel. Und somit dauerte es bis zum November 2005, bis auch ich mich entschloss meinen Führerschein zu machen. Bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt habe ich nun die Theorieprüfung erfolgreich abgelegt und dazu etwa 25 Fahrstunden genommen - und (!) seit April 2006 bin ich ausserdem im Besitz meines ersten eigenen Autos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_01.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/400/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(E)&lt;br /&gt;For most people it’s common to watch out for their driving licence at the age of 18. But how do they say: the exception proves the rule. So it was only in November 2005 when I decided to do my driving licence. By now I courageously passed the theoretical survey, took approximately 25 driving lessons and (!) even bought my first own car in April 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_02.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/400/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_03.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/400/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_03.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_04.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_03.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_04.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/400/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_04.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;BMW 316i Compact Exclusive&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5263/2807/1600/BMW%20316i%20Compact%20_02.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26789075-114831377689154215?l=anett-friends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/feeds/114831377689154215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26789075&amp;postID=114831377689154215' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/114831377689154215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26789075/posts/default/114831377689154215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://anett-friends.blogspot.com/2006/05/getting-mobile-my-first-car.html' title='Getting mobile - my first car'/><author><name>Anett Wisniewski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17740015401983457685</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
