germany got me back

We flight back on saturday at 7 o’clock and arrived ~11 o’clock in germany. My mom fetched me on the airport and drove me to my apartment. I liked the time in ireland but im happy to be back to my everyday life. I will miss many people there but I still stay in touch with some of the employees there. It was a experience that was definitely worth it. That will be my last entry so I’m saying goodbye.
Greetings Toni Knispel

1001 Goodbyes

The last 24 hours in Germany are quickly ticking by. As I’m writing this, there are actually not even 23 hours left until my flight leaves tomorrow. I am at my father’s house in the depths of Brandenburg, enjoying a preview of the weather in Ireland. It’s quite cold and the gray sky is weeping droplets if bittersweet goodbyes.

I feel… great! After the last couple of weeks of studying for the CCNA-exam, cleaning my apartment and meeting family and friends for „the last time“, today is the day I can just enjoy the peace and quiet, for there is nothing more I can do now but wait in happy expectation of what is to come.

As of now, I still have no idea where I will sleep for the next 2 months or where I’ll be working during that time. My only constant is Dublin and the EU-Office’s continuous affirmation that there will be someone picking us up from the airport. However, I am excited; excited and not afraid.

I am looking forward to meeting new and interesting people, to working with people, both users and colleagues, who appreciate what I’m doing as much as I will enjoy it and to seeing one of the most beautiful countries in the world.

Over the next two months I will write 3 times a week so stay tuned for the first blog entry out of Dublin – Ireland.
