It's the Final Countdown...!

Hey Hey out there!

I bet you have the song stuck in your head now. And I'm not even sorry!

But, yes, the countdown has begun. It was a bit to-ing and fro-ing but finally everything is as it should be.
I have to explain: As many of you know, I haven't had an internship in London, the original reason I wanted to go there. I want to study Media-Design next year (It's still written in the stars if it is going to happen...) and an internship would help me extremely to have a better chance of an university place.
So media internship in London? Sounds good. The website of the language school I'm traveling with said they could place my in every business area.
Well, it turned out they couldn't. I'm unplacable.

After a long time seeing my dream shattered (and the even worse message that my apartment has been let to some other language student, what means, I was at that moment without house and internship. The only thing left was the one week English course at the school), the nice lady from the agency called again. She apologized and said it would be possible to do a renewed finding to place me in another internship area. Administration or custumer service. Sadly, I was not very happy about that. I had an internship, it is true,  but it was not the one I needed. It wouldn't help my application, I would just waste my time I could use in Germany to do another internship.
I was hit rock bottom. So, no London, no new culture, no internship and, especially, I had to stay in Karlsruhe.
But things changed as the lady sent me some documents via mail. Caption "they found an internship".
It was a bit curious because I thought they first had to find a new one. I opened the mail and...
It was an internship in a children's book illustrator company.
I was so happy! Okay, it was not exactly the internship I wanted (photography, film, media design), but it's in the media sector and it's useful for my studies. And, people please, it is a children's book illustrator company! That is so awesome! I looked at some pictures they had done and they are really cute.

Well, there is one point: I have just a job interview at the moment. It could be possible I won't get the post. But there is a chance and I will take this chance and make the best of it.
Oh yeah, I got my apartment back, too. There was overbooking and I was there first. That is all I say.

So London here I come!
Sunday morning at 10:55 a.m. I'm going to sit in a nice plane to travel to Heathrow airport. I will have a one week intensive English course and on Thursday there will be my interview. And maybe... But just maybe, I will do an internship on a nice company for a long time.

I'm so excited! What will my roommates be like? Will I find friends? Will I get along, alone, in a foreign country?
And the most important: Will I meet Benedict Cumbe- get the internship?

This and many more questions you are going to see next time!

Here's a random picture of the Eiffeltower from two years ago
because there was so much text in this post. 

Have a nice time, wherever you are!
