Update, Zivi & Amazing Concerts!

Dear readers, I need to apologise for my bad blogging schedule during the past weeks. There has been just so much happening in my life that I could not find the time to write.

But hey, here's an update!

Well, first of all, I was on holidays a few weeks, in the mountains in Switzerland, but also in Denmark. In Denmark I filmed a lot, those videos still need some editing done and it will take a bit of time until I finish that. But don't worry it'll come!

I'll also write a post with some of my favourite pictures from this trip in a couple of days.

Two weeks ago I started Zivildienst. It's for the people in our country who don't wanna do military service. I did not want to join the military, because I think it is a waste of time and because I want to do something good during the time I have to serve the country. At Zivi one can work at multiple different places, for example at an elders residence, a Kindergarten, somewhere in the mountains helping a farmer or like me, at a school. I started working at the school I went to five years ago and I must say it's such a cool job! Such nice people around me all day and it's just 5 minutes away from home! Now I am off to a Zivi camp in the mountains with a course on how to care for teens :)

Last week on Sunday I also started working as a photographer in Muri at Pflegidach, a really cool and cosy jazz club! It's a lot of fun and I can even see the concerts for free (: Yesterday I saw Nate Wood and the concert was amazing! Here are some impressions:

A really cool day in Zürich! Oh and military stuff..

First of all I want to talk about Switzerland and the compulsory military service we have here. Every male citizen here is obliged to go to the military, once they turn 18 years old; which means I had to go too. You still get the possibility to do civil services and not military, which is, in my opinion, a great option! So on Monday and Tuesday I had my recruitment. You have to do multiple different tests about your health, psychology and intelligence. And in my opinion the intelligence tests are basically just hilarious, especially the vocabulary test! There were questions like "what is a taboo" and one of the few options was "a native American boat" .. I think you get my point.. Hilarious!

Another odd thing was that, even if you want to do civil services, you get a position in the military and have to change it later at home. So I went to this guy who gives you your position, he asked my if I still plan to do civil services, "yes", and he said he'll give me the position of a paramedic. "Ok, no problem."

So after that, when I prepared to go home, a guy came to me "I see you signed up as a paramedic, you have to get a blood test now because only as a paramedic you have to."

Well.... thanks for the joke-material ^^

Other than that my mum and I planned to go to Zürich now for a while to get some stuff done, like getting a new spring/summer jacket for me and a new bag for her.

Yesterday morning I went a little earlier to Baden to take some pictures with my drone, because I want to apply at some architecture offices to maybe get some contracts to take pictures for them. So I decided to take some example pictures I can show them in advance :)

Later in Zürich we first went to a Popup Market which was a huge coincidence! My mum wanted to show me this really cool building, and without us even knowing, our favourite market was just taking place inside!

After that we found ourselves in a really nice organic and zerowaste shop called FOiFi, I took some cool pictures :)

And of course I got my new jacket and she got her cool new Freitag-Bag ;D
