A day off…

Today is a great day, first day within the last 2 weeks when I was able to sleep as long as I want. I’m working in executive search sphere, which means I have to make companies gain more profit by improving whatever is possible to improve, mainly we just search for professionals to fill in the weak spots in the company, but sometimes a major project is needed. Our company needs freelancers most of the time, so it’s a perfect place for me. I’m doing this kind of work only in summer, during my studies it’s almost impossible to work, and I don’t feel like tearing myself apart between the studies and work. Well, our project is finished one day ahead of schedule so I have a day off. Now we just need to present the results to the customers company this Friday and I’ll have enough money to survive till Christmas. Got to get my suit from underneath the bed this evening and make sure it looks good. I want to have some fun for the next two weeks before my school starts, so this’ll be my last project this summer. My mom is helping me with money, so I think that should be enough. The work I’m doing also counts as an internship for my university, very nice!

 

            It’s sunny outside and it’s still an early morning, I’ll try to gather some of my best friends and head out to the sea, however it’s Thursday, means people most likely are working, but I bet I can get at least somebody. I live pretty far from the sea, well, I need an hour to get to the sea if I go by public transport, but I hate using a bus when it’s so hot outside, so I just usually find somebody who has a driver’s license and a car and we share the gas costs.

 

My mom gave me few papers to translate that she needs for work but I don’t feel like doing anything when the weather is so awesome, especially if I’m not paid for it, so I’ll just leave it till Friday evening or holidays. She said it must be done by Monday, so I’ll have plenty of time for that. That reminds me, some school and internship papers must be prepared by 19^th of august, yeah, I have a lot of time, but it’s still better to do now, when I remember about it. I also have to have my hair cut before the school starts. Ehh, so many things to do, how uninteresting, but I’m not going to do anything today. It’s my “day off”, and so it will stay.

 

A week ago an old friend of mine called me, when we were kids we used to spend a lot of time together, now he lives in another country. I haven’t seen him for 8 years or so, I wander what kind of person is he now. His family is coming to my country to visit his grandparents who happen to live nearby to my new flat, so we should be able to meet next week. If I open my little schedule book I see that my whole next week is completely empty and I’ve got nothing planned at all, so I really should meet that guy.

 

I’ve just made a call to my schoolmate. She’ll be by my house in 30 minutes, so I’ll just finish this for now. We’ll pick up her good friend and friends boyfriend, so we’ll be four in total. We are all good friends so it should be fun and I could use some tanning. I didn’t have much time for that till now.
