Working and Studying

After my journey I worked as a baker in a industry. Sandra, my girlfriend was working at the same place. The job was well payed but not so interesting. The days where always the same. After this I started a French course on the university. I was studying hard all days long and during this course I decided to go to France with a bicycle. It was a good idea, I could try to do a bigger bicycle journey, a smaller adventure, and practise my french. I passed all my exams good, and at the end of this course I searched for a job. First I didn't find any jobs, so I continued to study the following french course on the university. Within two weeks a big tulip grower I asked for job before called me up and said I could work there. I quitted the french course and worked full time a the tulip place. I really liked this work even if it was hard. I was working many hours per day, about 9 or 10 hours, six days per week to earn money. The first day I had a cold, but worked anyway. I was in a fridge where they stored the tulip onions in boxes, and me and three other guyes lifted several tons of boxes to the green house. I only worked and slept during this work so I never had time to plan my journey. After the season was over I got two weeks more to work before I had to go. I was glad over this because I needed the money. At the end of this job I decided to start my journey as soon as I could. I took about one month before the weather was ok, and during this time I was planning the trip and buying things.
