Busy Times

There are so many things that I have to do right now. Tomorrow, I have my first university exam ever, and I'm not as well prepared as I wanted to be.

I have to pay all kinds of bills and the only bank account, where I'm not in the red is the one at the "Basel-Landschaftliche Kantonalbank" (Cantonal Bank of Basel-Country), but I'll be in Bern for at least the next three weeks, so God only knows how I'm gonna survive.

And of course all the studying... my advice: At daytime, go to one of the numerous libraries at university. Just pack your books and a bottle of water, no other distractions. At night, alway have a can of syrup and some candy next to you.
--> Today's special at Scheurerstrasse: Orange-Lemon syrup (be creative & mix different flavours together) and Stalder Chocolait Crème with banana slices.

It's delicious, very sweet and therefore keeps you going...;)

Good luck at your exams and have a nice winter break! Let's hope that there's gonna be a lot of snow!!!

Those Three Magical Letters

As some of you may know, the EB elections for LC Bern took place this monday night. I ran for VPPD and VPX.

The election was chaired by our MCVPER Cileia and the whole process was quite an experience. It was a long night for all of us. Every candidate had to deliver a speech and go through a QandA (Questions and Answers) session afterwards (or two of them, in my case). Finally, after about 3 hours of speeches, "witty" and challenging questions (thanks Laura), I was elected as VPX and we were baptized by our lovely predecessors. (I got the picture here!)

Thanks to everybody for their trust and for believing in us. This is going to be a challenging year for me and I thank you for giving me this opportunity.

My sincerest thanks as well to everybody for their feedback. Iulia, Laura, Marie, Dänu and Yavor, the current EB; Kathrin and Paul, my fellow Newie EB members; Oli and Simon, my new team mates; my future double coach Cileia (la Bâloise) and Aïda (diä Wälschi) and everybody I forgot...

I am very excited to work with these guys, I'm sure this is going to be a unique experience.

I have a good feeling for this term. A very good one. Aaand: I'm getting these fancy business cards!
