Cause I'm living on a ship....

Could you imagine vacuuming for 6 hours everyday, and then having a short break before you serve food for 5½ hours afterwards? This is the Life for a “young slave” these days in the welfare state Denmark. 11½ hours of working, everyday for 22 days without seeing family or friends. This has also been my Life, until now where I have 7 days off.
I never thought that it could be so hard to vacuum, but I realized it when I woke up every morning for the last 17 days with my fingers formed like I hold around the tube for a vacuum cleaner, and I have to force them out to “normal” again. I was planning to work as a “Steward” on DFDS Seaways for a year or two before I would go to university, nevertheless, I think I will work for four months now, just so I can pay my debt to my parents (and I don’t have anything else to do in the summer….or…..)
All this working means two things: First of all, nothing big will happened in my Life the next few months, I will almost live as a “Zen-Buddhist”, full of empty thoughts. Second of all, I will most likely try to do some small “trips” around Europe in the breaks I have. I can most likely see the most interesting things in Lichtenstein if I am there for 7 days, or I might go to Estonia, Scotland, Spain, Italy, Poland, just to places where I have never been before.
These plans are just pure dreaming, but let’s see… some dreams come true.
Please send some thoughts to all the hardworking men on the sea, the people who makes the tourist industry run smoothly.
And another note in the end, I didn’t pass the test for photojournalism…
