I'm partly cooking and partly writing this soo I hope I dont set the house on fire!

As some of you may know, I had some pretty bad days last week. I havent felt as depressed in my whole life, I think. And for no reason actually. Of course, I'm often alone and at times hate my job, but its been like that for 8 month or so and it never made me feel like that.

however, I want to inform you that  I'm back to normal :)

New York, New York
After having spent 2 days in effretikon, meeting up with katrin, daniela and julia, I had a flight to jfk.
It was really easy, cuz we only had about 40 pax. good for us, bad for the company. in the evening I went with another fa and her mum on top of the empire state building. which cost 20 bucks but was really great. especially as we didnt have to stand in line. afterwards we had a coffee at starbucks and went to see mamma mia. I would have preferred the lion king or mary poppins, but whatever. it was kinda good, too, the only problem being that it took till 4 am swiss time. yawn. the next morning I awoke veery early. I dizzily took a shower and then realized that my hairdrier wasnt working. I called the reception to bring me a new one. 2 mins later the housekeeping lady knocks on my door. I take the drier, say thanks, close the door, plug it in, notice that this one doesnt work either, run after the lady. the moment I realize she's gone, I hear the door falling shut behind me. the key is inside.
yeah I think something similar happened to mister bean once. so I had to go to the reception and stood there barefoot on the marble floor with dripping hair. when I tell them the story, the only answer I get is: "do you have any identification?" WTF?
I didnt have any identification, obviously, so I had to wait for another 10 minutes for the security staff to let me into my room.



but the rest of the day was great: I had breakfast near central park (you guys know I have a thing for parks!).  a bagel with cream cheese and a far too sweet hot chocolate. I went shopping in macy's (big disappointment) and victoria's secret (no disappointment there!). the stuff at victorias secret was acutually affordable and so damn cute. the only thing that  gave me the creeps was a ditzy blonde bombshell named christina who showed me to my dressing room.
quote:
"whats your name, honey? stefanie, thats a nice name! I'm christina! I you have any problems or need another size, just call me, ok darling?" big grin
puh. later I had dinner at pret-a-manger, apparently one of the only places where you can get healthy and good food at reasonable prices. If you think you can just walk into a supermarket and buy some fruit, yoghurt or fresh bread you better think again. after eating I suddenly felt terribly exhausted so I went sleeping/ watching spongebob for 2 hours.

I spent the rest of day strolling through the streets around madison square park, near the flatiron building.
the sunlight and the hot guys coming up to me saying "how are you doing, beautiful?" where like balm for my depression-stricken soul. (I dont think that figure of speach exists in english, but you get me)

the flight back was also ok. the only annoying thing was my damn instructor who told me at 4 am, that yes, I did well, but I just didnt have "das gewisse etwas". I didnt "beam" in the cabin. I didnt show that I love my job. weeelll old biatch listen you only work every second month so I guess you can enjoy your little working time! and its not like this is the greatest job in the universe anyway. plus what kind of critics is that? not something I could do anything about ! well anywayy. the flight was long enough and when we wanted to land there was still a plane in our way so we had to do a socalled go-around which took another 20 mins.

the day after/ rock the ballet
after our landing in geneva I still had to go on the flight to zurich which took awfully long. I went for lunch with julia and daniela (loved it)
after that I slept for 2 hours and then went to see a dancing show with my mum. I especially loved the part where they were all dressed up as pimps, dancing with a walking stick in one hand and an inflatable doll in the other.
god was I happy to go to bed that night!

sämis birthday/ going out
the 14th was sämis  birthday, I brought him some donuts from nyc but unfortunately they were all stale and dry :( I went to a flea market with my mum haha and later hung out with widler and stephi. then we had sämis surprise party that toni had organised. all his friends were there and we screamed "surprise" like in the movies :)
then widler called me and when I tried to call back I only got the combox. so I figured he must be in the cc, where in fact he wasnt but roman was there so I chatted with him for some time. then we went to spindle and duuuuuuude the party was on! we even had to wait in line and it was totally crammed! I loved it! the only problem for me was that everybody was smoking. i hate it. I couldnt breathe. and this lizzy or lise or whats her face squeezed her cigi out on my hand. she uttered a sorry, but still, its nothing but dangerous to smoke while dancing when the place is that crowded.
today I slept till 2 pm which has seriously never happened to me before. I went for a coffee with sereina, which I enjoyed a lot and later cooked for my bros. now I'm off to meet stephanie kürsteiner and then I should still call info!
