This day was the last but one working day of my work experience in Belfast. I finished all my task, which were unfinished. Today flew by that fast.
In the evening we went for an Irish dinner at ‚Morning Star‘, a recommendation of Tim :D. The atmosphere for our last evening together in Belfast was great. Unfortunately, the paying process was problematic. At first, they told us to separate the receipt by ourselves and go and pay separately. Then at the cashier, they said us it isn’t possible to settle up one by one. In the end, we had to borrow money from Tim, who paid by card. When Tim was settling up, another staff told him that we could pay individually. It was such a mess! „“Nothing lasts forever. Forever is a lie.

At work, I continued the task, which needs to be finished. In the afternoon Jenny and I tried to send our parcels to Germany. First we decided to use Hermes, but unfortunately, we didn’t have a label from Hermes because we thought it is a Hermes shop, where the labels will be printed out. However, the shop owner apologised, and we had to left the shop. My parcel was quite heavy however we had to walk home again. „„Sports do not build character. They reveal it.““ weiterlesen

The last week of my foreign work experience has started today. I can’t imagine that those eight weeks passed by that fast. I am looking forward to coming home, but I also miss the time with the others here. „„Your computer can’t connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server is temporarily unavailable.““ weiterlesen

The handover of the document was today. My supervisor was satisfied with it. *Yes :D* My task continued by testing with colleagues, explaining everything about the new server farm. It is fantastic and makes fun to talk in English. To communicate with others with only one language is lovely. I enjoy it a lot. „„Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!““ weiterlesen

„Have fun because that’s what life is about.“

14th of May in 2018:

The last but one week started today. My supervisor was absent until tomorrow. I still got my current task, to set up the users at Outlook of Microsoft Office 365.
At home, a funny situation happened. Son often arrived home late, that’s why he can’t make dinner for us. Therefore he used to help sometimes, i.e. taking the trash out or cutting vegetables. Today Son learned that our accommodation has a second rubbish bin. It doesn’t sound funny but let me reconstruct the conversation, which has occurred today: „„Have fun because that’s what life is about.““ weiterlesen

„There is nothing special in the world, nothing magic, just physics.“

(quote from Chuck Palahniuk)

First of all, I recognise that my blog entries are short. I am sorry for it, but nothing special happens during the week, where I can write a lot of content about it. Maybe I got used to the life here, and not many things surprise me anymore. I think because of that.
Usually, after work, I go home and have dinner with the others or relax and enjoy my time here. I hope my entries will be longer on the weekend *snicker* ^^‘. „„There is nothing special in the world, nothing magic, just physics.““ weiterlesen

Work is going well. But today I have to leave my job earlier because we got a visit from Mr Bavar, who is our Afib-coordinator and the instructor of ‚Freie Universität Berlin‘, for a small chat with a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. „„No one can deny the excitement of visiting another world.““ weiterlesen
