Two Weeks and a Few News!

News #1: Is no news.. we are still working on our apartment. Our furniture now includes a closet for our bedroom and a small wardrobe for the entrance hall. We have ordered a bed (to arrive in January), a couch (to arrive in December) and an extension to our kitchen (arrives on January 24th). Other purchases include lights and Christmas decoration. Slowly, an end to our numerous purchases is approaching! I can't wait to spend a weekend without furniture stores :).

News #2: I have found a place to write my Master's thesis - in Linz, not too far from where I now live. The company's name is oö.erdgas and my topic will be related to customer acquisition and retention in the gas market. I do have to thank a close relative though for helping me to get a first step into that company!!

News #3: We finally experienced some culture a week ago, when we went to a brass concert in Windischgarsten, a small village in the mountains. The artists all play at philharmonics and symphonic orchestras in Europa and their music (though it sometimes made fun of music) was extremely sophisticated and fun! Our other 'cultural' experience last weekend was that we saw Casino Royale - also fun, but by far not as sophisticated!

News #4: I am currently participating in a competition (hosted by Apple) and have proceeded to the second round of it! Tomorrow I will receive an Apple computer to prepare a presentation for the management team of Apple. The winner of the competition will be able to make an internship at Apple for ten weeks!! To be honest though, I'd much rather have the Apple computer as first price ;).

So.. overall, life is going pretty well at the moment! :)
