Going to school in Kellyville and living in Tulsa!

Hey,

It has been a while now but finally i have time to write something on my blog. As most of you already know I am now already 5 weeks in Tulsa (USA). I have a 7 week course here. The CT leader course!

Until now i must say Tulsa is ok but a bit boring. People don't walk here and if you are walking they look at you funny. So, as we don't have a car everybody looks funny :-). Last week I went to the Zoo with two of my classmates and i must say it was nice to go some where else and not go shopping. At my photo album i added some pictures so you can have and impression.

Still two weeks to go and after that preparing for my holiday to south africa!!!!!

CU later,

Mirjam

It has been a while

Hey all,



It has been a while but i am still alive! So, what have I been up to...



So after my holiday in Italy I went beck to Germany and I am still working there as a coiled tubing engineer. In December I did my breakout job and that means from january 2009 I am not a trainee any more but a field engineer 1. My breaout job was a job in Holland and I must say it was nice to do a job in Holland.



Until now i am preparing all the job that we have in Holland and that is really nice.



In March I went with the whole family to euro disney again and it was really a lot of fun. It was nice to spent time with my family and see my brother again. After these couple of days in France I made sure that i dont need any glasses any more. Yep after 18 years i dont need those any more. Yeah!



Since April It is really busy with work so not a lot of time to go to Holland any more. But my brother and his girl friend came to visit me. Last weekend Femmie and Dennis also were to the big city of Vechta and we had a big party.



From now on it will be so busy that i have to work for two. I am counting the days to my 1 week holiday in France. I need it :-).



As it looks now i will go to the second SLB school (in the USA) in the month of October.



So, as you can hear still really busy and having a lot of fun in Germany. Until next time....



Gruss, Mirjam

Holiday in Italy!

Two weeks of no Schlumberger! Some rest, site-seeing and sun...

During these two weeks I went on several day trips: Rome, Siena, Volterra, Pisa, Florence and off course the beach!

After school i thought it would be nice to visit my parents again but they were on holiday in Europe so we met in Italy at Pisa Airport. We stayed at a camping in Cecina in the caravan from my parents. i had a small tent in the tent before the caravan it was perfect. As I already told you we did a lot of site-seeing and the day we went to Rome we had to get up very early to catch the train. But i can say it was worth it.

Above you can find some pictures and in my photoalbum you can find all of them.

It were a nice two weeks and i can say I am ready to go to work again and see how every body is doing!

finished school!!!

Hey!

After 9 weeks of hard week i final found some time to update my blog! During the last 9 weeks Iwas in England working at school. 9 weeks of learning all about coiled tubing. A lot of tests, exams and long long days. Not a lot of sleep so I'm really tired but happy that i finished and have my certificate. Now I am not a trainee any more! I am a coiled tubing engineer....

I am looking forward going back to my location but i will do that after the well control week and to weeks of holiday! ITALY here i come!

below and at my photo album you can find some nice pictures from the last weeks.

Hup Holland Hup!

Yep,

We WON!!!!!

With some dutch colleages we were watching the match in Vechta at the sportsbar Markt 4!

May going to June

Hey,

June just started but I can tell you May was a nice month. The first night shift experience with BBQ in the early hours. I thought night shift would be hard for me (morning person) but NO I like it. A lot of work and the weather was really nice.

The last weekend of May/June Dorien came to visit me for my birthday. It was the first time she came to visit me and i think she had a great time. On friday evening she came by train to Vechta and had a nice Italian dinner and afterwards to Markt 4 and Cubar to have a beer with some colleages. During the day on satuday we went shopping and in the evening we had my birthday party that ended at 5:30h the next morning. Sunday we had a lazy day with going to a lake and resting a bit. On monday I had to work again and Dorien went home.

This saturday I went to a party in Lutten with Sascha and Michael and also there we were having a crazy time.

Look at the pictures to get an impression of May going to June!

A nice warm weekend in Zwolle

Finally!



A new message on my blog!



I just came back from visiting Bram Simons in Zwolle. I went there on Saturday morning (it took me 5 hours by train to get there) and in the afternoon Bram showed me around Zwolle.



In the evening we had a BBQ at this parents and decided that on sunday we will go for a bike tour and see the nice surroundings of Zwolle. At my photo album you can find a the pictures!



Tomorrow I will have to work again so my short mini break back to Holland is over! Back to the real life!
