so, as promised i'm back with new pics. aaah, munich was great. nice city with lot to see. of course it rained most of the time as it did in vienna... *rollseyes*
we visited the castle of nymphenburg which is really beautiful. of course we also went to the famous "biergarten", didn't have a beer, though. i hate that. but never go to munich withought visiting one of those, though ;-)
my personal highlight was visiting the set of my beloved daily-soap marienhof. i was standing in the middle of the outdoor set omg. just the coolest feeling ever, heh. since we have been there on the weekend, there was no actor around, which was a bit sad, but i enjoyed it nonetheless.
 
me at the entry to the Marienhof set. eeeeep! so exciting! and there it is, the famous marienhof-street!
famous towers of the "frauenkirche"
overview from the top of the "frauenkirche"-tower
castle of Nymphenburg
of course we also saw loads of other stuff, but i'm currently too lazy to write them down in english...
*muchlove*
you all, head over to http://jimolino.oyla10.de and look how creative i was over the weekend;-) i can't believe that i finally found the time to create a little website for my puppy which isn't really a puppy anymore by now. well, it's late and this is short, since i didn't care about preparing for next week today... have to do that now. feedback and/or guestbook entry is *much* appreciated ;-) and please note that the website is still VERY under construction, but at least all jimo galleries are up. enjoy and *muchlove*

holiday recap
 
JIMO 23 weeks
wow, okay, my live is officially busy! *lol*
my holidays are almost over and i didn't find the time to udate my LJ?! WTF?! and i only take the time to do it now so that i can avoid getting done my stuff for kindergarten (which should be done urgently, ergh!)... heh!
let's start with the beginning of my holidays on oct 8th. it was just great. i was lying in bed with stomachpain and had to vomit every 15 minutes or so. after three days this horror slowely passed but i felt a cold coming up. yay. so i was sick again.
meanwhile, my first week of holidays were over soon... i forced myself to clean out the closets in kindergarten and write a big fat holidays-to-do-list (which is nowhere to be completed yet, btw).
my parents left for india last saturday, leaving me at home with my two doggies and a to-do-list while they're away. oh, i love to-do-lists! *lol*
i actually started to make plans for my second week of holidays and i really enjoyed it! long walks with the dogs, cinema, minigolf, meeting people... i bought season 3 of "king of queens" and enjoy my meals in front of the tv, laughing my ass off! *lol* but hell, i had to change the language from english to german, because i have no chance to even understand half of the stuff they are talking. wow. what kind of english do they speak? is it even english? *g* and of course the jokes are over long before i'm done with reading the subtitles. hah.
yersterday i left "smooffi" with a friend of mine for 17 days, until parents are back. *sniff* and i have to bring "jimo" to the dog-sitter the day after tomorrow because i can't have the dogs at home once i start to work again. two weeks without dogs! *sob* i will miss them so much, especially now that jimo is still growing. he's so fu**ing cute, i could stare at him all day and just cuddle him to death! ;-))
ah man, i wanted to do so many thing in my holidays, but most of them didn't happen. at least i managed to install the new norton antivirus which found about 5 adware/spyware high risk thingys that the old one didnt. nice. i wanted to create a little homepage for jimo so that the world can finally see my cute baby, but that never happened. lack of time. and webdesign skills. lol. maybe in my next holidays... around xmas.
not many interesting things happened lately, not really interesting for you, that is. i enjoy all the sweet moments with my dogs. i enjoy beeing away from this whole kindergarten-mess for two weeks. i enjoy sleeping LONG in the mornings and staying up late in the night. i enjoy listening to my new katie melua album (you should totally buy "piece by piece"!!). i enjoy watching marienhof and getting lots of lisa-love. she rocks!
and now, the regular but oh-so-cute jimo stuff for you! enjoy!
typical "toller" sleep positions... pos 1 pos 2 pos 3 pos 4 pos 5 POLL: which one is the most comfortable? *lol*
well, i guess my life is great with all those enjoyments! ;-))
more soon. don't trust me with that, though;-)
*muchlove*
  Falera, Swiss mountains
Aaah, i love weekends! ;-) They are just so relaxing, especially if the weather is sunny, warm and just beautiful. I went with my parents and doggies to our little holiday cottage in the Swiss Mountains. And it really is so relaxing. I even forgot about kindergarten... and about the work i should do for next week...um, yep. *lol*
Today we took a really beautiful walk with great view to a little lake called "Lake Laax". Jimo instantly ran into the water and took a swim. But then some ducks showed up and they obviously thought we'd have food for them since the came very near. Um, that was not such a good thing since Jimo is a Nova Scotia DUCK TOLLING Retriever and he was all "oooh ducks!!! yay!!"... Luckily they can swim faster than little Jimo *lol*
please, i want ducks!!! posing
We now enjoy a relaxing evening in front of the fireplace in the cottage and have some good steaks and stuff. Tomorrow we'll visit Jimos sister Dazhitaa, i'm really curious if they still know eachother!
Btw, re: kindergarten. I had some meeting with the Chinese parents and they agreed to get some help for their son. I really hope everything will work out soon because work aka kindergarten is hell with that kid *sigh* He would be so cute if he would just NOT kick and punch me everytime he has to do something he doesn't want to. ergh. so sucking! he even learned some Swiss words. He yells "Frau Boffa, Frau Boffa!!" all the time and knows "sunne" (sun), "anesitze" (sit down), "ruhig si" (be quiet)and he counts from 1 to 5. So cute to hear a chinese kid talk Swiss german! heh!
yep, even cuter as listen to fyca talking Swiss german! heeeheee!
love ya dear!
fyca honey, i'm really happy to hear that your family members in Texas are okay and safe! I was really concerned! Hope Mimi will be fine soon!
*muchlove*
  jimo 18 weeks
so, as always a new entry is much overdue. but actually i don't have time for that right now. must prepare
a major meeting with parents whose kid just has no clue as how to behave in kindergarten at all. also must prepare a birthday party for wednesday, two other meetings and such.
but however, i decided to first update and then do the rest;-)
well, there is so much going on in my new job that i wouldn't know where to start. also i'm not allowed to speak about everything to everyone, so i'll keep it short *lol* let's just say that it really isn't easy to have about 10 kids who do not understand or speak german, 5 of them like NO single word. oi.
some of them really have a major "behaviour-problem", i have to tell them everyday that i'm the frickin' boss and they have to do what i tell them to do! *lol*
so there is this one boy who yells at me all the time. if i'm "it's time to put away your things and come sit on your chair" he has some major issues and just yells at me "noooo!!! i'm playing! no! i don't put away my things. you shut up." grrrr! i so can't stand that!
another boy kicks and spits all the time if he doesn't like what he should do. great. and today one boy bit another in the tummy. the poor kid came running to me and was all "it hurts so much!!" and when i lifted his shirt i saw this teeth mark on his tummy and was all WTF??!!
but i also have very cute kiddies, most of them are girls of course *lol*
i'd really love to show you pics of them, but i'm not allowed to put kids pics on the net without the parents permission... but i'll put up some new general kindergarten pics soon.
in other news, my brother just left switzerland last friday for australia. he's currently staying in brisbane for 3 months to learn english and then he's travelling around for another 3 months. wow, i'm actually missing my little brother from time to time!
here's a pic of him and jimo that i took last week. he loves his cellphone and wine, as you can see;-))
you can also visit his website (http://www.fabo.at) to see some pics of his australia-trip. i'm really curious as how often he'll update because he's usually lazier in those things than i am... and i haven't updated this journal for almost two weeks... *lol*
i think i totally need some sarah-mclachlan-fix right now! mirrorball dvd would do it, i guess! heh! but then i should really prepare those meetings and stuff. hmm.
i almost forgot to blog about my puppy. well, what can i say new about him? as you can see above, he's not really a puppy anymore. he's growing so fast! and he obeys really good these days. he also likes to annoy me sometimes, of course;-) he likes to jump up and bite me when he's in the playing-mood. last night we "fighted" on the floor for about 30 minutes and it was really funny. you just have to tell him when to stop because he sometimes forgets that his teeth are quite sharp...;-)
some recent pics on the bridge waiting for his food in the kitchen

chaos theory
 jimo 17 weeks
hey there!
omg! i haven't updated for so long. so so so SO much is going on in kindergarten. i have 20 kids of which 14 are boys. about 10 out of 20 don't understand german, some of them not one single word. this makes teaching really difficult and frustrating sometimes. no one listens, i mean, would you listen if i'd babble in german and you'd have NO idea what is going on? (okay, i'm not talking to you witchy, but my other readers *lol*)
but hello, it's not my fault that they don't speak german. oi. and i guess they've never learned to put back things where they've taken them before. holy c.r.a.p. *g*
well, i get home very exhausted every day, frustrated some days but also happy and proud many days...
you just have to tell the same things over and over and over again. everyday the same. twice. ten times. more. *g* this is quite annoying sometimes as you can imagine. but i really hope it gets better with time. maybe in some weeks they'll be able to sit and listen when other kids or i talk to them. maybe. yes.
however, my puppy jimo is getting so big and so darn cute. i guess he understands more german words than some of my kids do *lol* he is so sweet and loves to cuddle and really listen when you talk to him. wow, i love him so much! now, pictures!!!
kissing with mommy oooh fish!! cuddling with smooffi
*muchlove*
newest photosession with jimo;-) now 14 weeks old
 
eating plants...; posing; more posing
hmm, i should *so* frickin start to plan what i'm gonna do next week with the kids, but hell, i can't decide how to start with them and how to organize everything. it's so difficult to plan everything, but i feel like i really need to write down something on a paper... just in case someone of the people who gave me this job is showing up and wants to see what i'm doing. confusing. i know. must disconnect my internet and force myself to do preparations, dammit!
actually i'm pretty excited, but even more nervous about monday. hopefully the kids will like me and the kindergarten. hopefully the parents will like me. hopefully they'll be able to separate from their kids and won't stay in kindergarten the whole week *g* however, everything will be new for the parents, me and the kids. i'm really hyper right now!!
here's an overview of the room: my kindergarten (btw, some links in my previous entry aren't working anymore because i moved the pics)
okay, off to preparations now!
*muchlove*
@witchy: heh, thanks for the homepage-mention in your newest entry! can't wait to see the layout, i'm already so excited about it!

short news
first of all:
my puppy has grown so much in the last 14 days! he's almost 14 weeks old now. have a look!
 
oh man, oh man. i can't believe i haven't updated my LJ for two weeks. and i have holidays *lol*
well, well. as always, so much is happening and i sort of still have holidays until next week, but i'm in the middle of getting ready for kindergarten. there is so SO very much to do before kindergarten starts. i don't even know where to start to explain what i have to do.
last week i've been in kindergarten pretty much every day to re-decorate everything. i'm finally feeling like this is my own room, MY kindergarten. eeep, what a cool feeling! i'll provide you with pics soon! here's a teaser from the doll-corner. i have NO idea what it's called in english. it's where the kids can play with dolls and cook etc. i've painted this windown thingy. and this is a look into the room.
i've done loads of arts and crafts for the kindergarten and i'm currently preparing the first days. but this is SO not easy. i have no clue how to get started with the new kids. i must show them about EVERYTHING. where do they find things. how do they use them. what is allowed, what not. who is who. oi. and i don't like the idea of having all parents in the room either. *lol* but i guess after the first week or so, everything will work better.
i've been to Lucerne with three friends last Saturday. it was a very beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. we did some shopping, some hanging-around-and-enjoying-each-others-company and some planning for a trip to Vienna in two months. nice. heh.
Here's a pic of my friends Anja, Claudia and Fabienne in front of the famous Kappel bridge. They rock. Goofing around in the evening.
the puppy is being a good boy most of the time! he already knows "sit" and we're exercising "down" this week. he stands in front of the door and whines when he needs to pee. and he's annoying smooffi when he wants to sleep. little devil *lol* but i think they really like eachother.
so much for the moment. i hope to update soon with more pics of jimo and my kindergarten!
*muchlove*

puppy gone wild
 
so, everytime i'm writing a new entry, my dear puppy is sleeping peacefully and giving me a break *g* today was quite a day (well, morning). we (jimo and me) got up at 8am and then got ready for the puppy-playground. i really don't know the name in english, maybe you'll get what i'm talking about ;-) on this playground you meet other puppies (9 weeks - 17 weeks old) and they put you in a group of about 8 puppies. then you go to different places where day can play together or play with the toys and stuff there is around... here's a pic so you can get an idea how this works.
jimo has been doing great and really enjoyed it there! last week (the first time) he was a bit shy but today he played with the other puppies and he even found a new friend! her name is "mango" and she's even the same breed, about three weeks older. they liked each other so much that the other woman asked me if we could meet next week so that the puppies can play. i'm sure jimo will love this idea as well! heh! here's a pic of his 'girlfriend' "famous mango of the roadrunners" (when she was only three weeks old) there even was another toller-girl, her name is dacotah, but she's a bit too big for him already, so he preferred playing with the smaller ones.
now he's all happy and sleeping (hopefully long *lol*) and i'm actually a little bit proud of us that we managed to get along so well this week. i think it was even a good thing that there was just the two of us (plus smooffi) for one week, our relationship really grew and he starts to cuddle with me. when i call his name he runs back to me and he also learned to sit before he gets his food. i love him so so so much!! (although he can be quite annoying sometimes *lol*)
for example, last night i had a friend over and we had pizza. jimo attacked the pizza-bag and really went mad...
*muchlove* and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

sleepy head
jimo is sleeping! finally! ergh! i was SO mad at him this morning! i had to make two phone calls and this puppy constantly annoyed me with barking, biting in the plants, the newspaper, his basket. grrr. even smooffi got annoyed. i wanted to be cool about it, but at some point i just yelled at him. he barked even more as if he'd be saying "f*ck you!" *lol*
but now he's an angel again, sleeping in the livingroom with smooffi and giving me at least some time to check my mails and get done the laundry and stuff. i SO can't wait for my parents to come home next Monday. i'll make them watch little jimo for at least three days in a row so that i can finally enjoy my holidays and sleep in long in the morning *lol*
more pics from july 16th (when we took him home) until up-to-date *g*
portrait must be comfortable?! with his 13-years old friend Milan with friend Alos enjoying the sun i'm an angel, really!
helping with the gardening with Smooffi
enjoy! and *muchlove* ... i think i'll take a little nap now, you never know when you can go to sleep again with that devil-ish puppy;-)))
 Hayowenta's Dibaa Jimo Minik
oh man! i wanted to update for such a long time now! ergh! but i tell ya, a puppy is much more work than hanging around in school all day...;-) just kidding, i love him, of course! and he's oh-so-sweet, most of all when he's sleeping... heh!
he's already 11 weeks old now and growing too fast *g*
i guess this LJ turns into a puppy-diary-thingy for the next weeks since there isn't much more going on beside dog-sitting for me. parents are away the whole week, brother is still in the military/army (and still hates it there *g*) and i'm home alone with smooffi and our puppy jimo. i wouldn't have thought that this is so much work. it's stress, actually. i go to bed at 1am and little jimo wakes me up at 8am. totally WTF-kinda-moment each morning when i sleep peacefully and then suddenly this little devil starts to whine and tries to jump up on the bed. grrrr! *g*
but the best thing ever, he's doing really great and didn't pee in the house so far. such a good boy! today it's frickin' 35°C here in switzerland and i tried to be happy about this fact (yeah, fyca, i really *try* to enjoy this hot weather)and went swimming in our pond. when jimo woke up i took him in the water as well and then we had some wet fun in the garden! heh! gonna do this again later today since it's so much fun. he totally loves the water goes crazy!
here are some pics: private pool party;-) let me out! come on, let's play duck hunt:-)
and holy cr*p, we have a fence in the garden so that he can't go into the pond by himself or fall down somewhere, but this fence is totally a pseudo-fence since he escapes everytime he wants to go inside the house. great. check this out! you'd never think that he's so tiny to get through those holes. ergh!
here are some sleeping-puppy-pics as i love them so much for the cuteness-factor A++ ;-)) best friend relaxing funny
i have tons of pics on my computer and i'll try and post some pics everyday so you can see how fast he's growing!
*muchlove* Sat, Jul. 16th, 2005, 11:31 pm
all about jimo!
dudes! omg! THE DAY has finally come! it's july 16th! i have my baby dog at home! and he's SO frickin cute! omg!
he's currently sleeping in the living room with my other dog smooffi while my brother and some friends are watching tv. jimo has been such a good boy today. so far he hasn't even peed in the house, he already has his little place in the garden. and he's really such a baby. sleep, eat, play, sleep, eat, play... wow. you can't leave him alone for a minute, this is going to be quite stressy, i guess. but for now he's all happy, i'm all happy. and he's so damn cute i could sit next to him the whole evening just watching him sleep. eeep!! i'm so over-excited!
here are some pics of his first day in the new home sleepy head ;-) sleeping under the table with smooffi last pic in the breeders home
more to come, definitely! ;-))
*muchlove*
hey all!
i know, an update is much overdue! but there was still much going on, even after i've finished my exams last week.
i've been in venice for four days... ah well, it was okay. now that i think about it, it was great! but there have been some things that weren't quite cool, but whatever, this is not the topic now. maybe i'll blog about it as time becomes available over the weekend *g*
i just got home from my graduation party! it's over now, i've finished this education! wow! i still can't believe it, it feels incredible. it's really a very happy day for me, i feel all proud and relieved. three years, and now it's all over. whoo!
and now, listen people, my official title now is:
Bachelor of Arts PHZH in Pre-Primary Education
now, doesn't this just sound plain cool?! ;-) *lol*
it's even written in english on my diploma. funny. and i really got a good diploma, i'm all happy with it. just let me tell you that it consists of 11 marks/notes/whatever in there, 6 being the highest mark. 8 out of 11 are 5.5 or higher. this is truly one of the greatest things ever! i'm really happy and proud that i finally got payed for what i've done in all those years *g*
so much for tonight, i'm exhausted and my bed is calling me, so... :-)
and i'll provide some pics tomorrow after i've uploaded them on my computer. oooh, and i also MUST update puppy pics of course!!
i'll have my baby at home the day after tomorrow. i guess i really must enjoy the sleep-long-in-the-morning-part tomorrow, because i don't think that the puppy will be thrilled by the idea of sleeping longer than 6am in the morning... great...!
*muchlove* Tue, Jul. 5th, 2005, 10:50 am
game over!
omg again! but this time as in "omg it's over!" *lol* i just got back from my last exam and it went quite well. i had to sing some nice little song and present some music theory and stuff. i was really nervous since i'm not really good at this topic, but it's over now! whoo! yesterday i passed the guitar exam (yay!!) and my two oral exams. no more exams, no more school! omg, i'm a teacher now! *lol* i can't tell you how much paper stuff is lying around in my pc room. when i'm back from my little trip to venice i'll put half of this stuff in the garbage *g* but for now i'm just so happy and it's so unbelievable that everything is over. finito. whooo! i'm gonna pack my stuff now and we (my classmates and me) will take the 11pm night-train to venice and we'll (hopefully *g*) have some sun and fun there until sunday. i wanted this moment to come for SO long. and now it's here. no more homework for the moment. it's incredible. just plain cool! *lol* okidoki, must work on my before-venice-to-do-list now;-) *muchlove* and have a great day (mine already is the greatest! heh!) and oooh, only 11 more days to go until puppy! yay for that!
Sun, Jul. 3rd, 2005, 10:22 pm
exams!!
omg!! i'm so nervous. i mean, i'm calm and nervous all together. ergh. i don't know what to think about my exams, i just want them to be over ASAP!! i don't know how i should present all that they want in just 15 minutes didactics oral exam. this is impossible!! i'm famous for talking very fast, but hello, not this fast! *lol* and also, 20 minutes for the pedagogic exam is too short! grr! what am i going to do if i have no time left to actually present all that i want/need? this is currently my biggest fear. that i won't have enough time for this. oi. and then this guitar exam. *lol* this is going to be fun. the good thing is, that i just need to go to the exam, but i'm not supposed to pass it. don't ask me. school laws and stuff. and why the heck couldn't all those exams take place in the morning? i mean, i have my first oral exam at 9.30am, then guitar at 11am... and then nothing, nothing, nothing until frickin' 5PM!!! great, this day is going to last too long, definitely! i have to wait about 5.5hours in between exams. hah! but at least i'll have my very last exam on tuesday morning 9am. which means i'm done with this school at 9.30am! whoo! this sure rocks. i'll have some time left before we leave for venice at 9pm. darn, i'm babbling on and on, just because i'm nervous. i want it to be over now! *sob* okay, must go and look at puppy pics or listen to sarah mclachlan music and think happy thoughts. or maybe go through the preparations again and play the guitar again. or bed. bed is good, sleep is good. yes. not that i'd be able to sleep now, though... anyway, tomorrow will be over at some point, no matter how crappy the exams will be! *lol* *muchlove*
omg! this was my last regular day in school! i really can't believe it! yay! and i just passed another oral exam (presentation of my arts work... or something like that) with the mark 5.5 (6 being the highest mark). that surely rocks! yay!
well, i guess there will be a lot lot lot of preparations going on over the weekend so that i'll be ready for my final four exams on monday and tuesday *shudders* i'll have to oral exams on monday (didactics and pedagogic) and my guitar exam. and on tuesday my i'll have the "vocal lessons/singing" exam. *shudders even more*
i really can't believe that it will be over for me on tuesday, 9.30am! dudes, this is in 4 days! holy cow! i'm all excited but i really wish (of course *g*) that it would be already over. and today in 2 weeks will be my first day of my holidays. eeep! i'll need to get myself ready for 'jimo'! heh! and totally cleaning out the mess in my computer room. everything is stuffed with papers, preparations and more papers... oi.
pics of the day - my school: pic1 pic2 *lol*
