Studying abroad

  Hello fellas!  I'm posting last weeks update a bit late (it's only like four or five days late, oops😅). My brain completely gave up on me, stealing all my creativity and motivation from me for a while, but here I am, finally.  What can I say about last week? It was rainy, windy and I got sick... so that sucks. But thankfully I didn't have to stay out of work for more than two days. On Friday two of my colleagues had their last day before starting their journey on retirement and they had decided to throw a celebration in its honor. They had all sorts of treats and cakes and pastries, people were giving speeches, but don't ask me what they were saying, cause I'm just as lost as you guys. That's the downside of not speaking the language of the country you're staying in, you will miss out on somethings because not everything can or will be translated for you.  Mainly I spend last week resting and just trying to recover from the sickness that fell upon me, not...

It is now official, I have managed to get through my first week here  and I'm both happy and exhausted. The weather has obviously been a lot warmer than what we have in Finland, the temperature rarely has even dropped below zero, but it has been raining almost all week, so I haven't really felt like exploring places.  My experience in Metro has been fun so far, the people are nice and took me under their wings instantly.

But I survived and at the end of the day that's all what really matters.  The main reason I couldn't really do anything at first was because we struggled to get my ID's to work so that I could start with eLearning.

Hiya, gals and pals and fellas!  So basically I have been graced with the opportunity to go abroad for an internship as a portion of my studies, and now my journey is about to begin. In just a few days I'll be hopping on an airplane with Germany as my destination and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I'm actually terrified yet excited at the same time and I can't wait to see what this adventure has in store for me.  This will be the first time I'm travelling anywhere on my own and it's safe to say I may be overthinking and worrying a bit too much, but that's okay. I like to think my overthinking is just preparing me for any and every scenario that I might face, and personally I find it kinda comforting.  But yeah, I really can't wait to see what's to come of this experience and I just really wanted to share that with anyone who might be reading this 😜 Anyway, I'll be back after I get to settle down at my accommodation in Germany, un...
