On Monday our three instructors flew in from Berlin. After work we met up at a burger joint called Honest Burgers. We all had burgers and drinks while talking about our experiences so far.

Website Editing
This Tuesday was very straight forward. I spent most of the time looking through documents looking for login credentials to enter the website’s admin panel so I could edit it.

A relaxing day with Board Games
Another week Another boardgaming meeting. Today i went to the Boardgaming meeting again. I really like the atmosphere there and it allows me to have some time outside the accomodation, which is still filled to the prim with 14 persons in total. „A relaxing day with Board Games“ weiterlesen
Let’s talk to some friends
My workday was as usual, nothing special. Today I decided to talk with some of my friends. I hadn’t had contact with since I arrived in London…
So I went to our voice server and we talked about all the things which happened during my time here. They also asked me about my experience so far. I explained to them a bit then they got my blog link. Today is the birthday from my grandmother too so I also called her, she was very surprised from the call because I’m in London and that is very far for her.
Meeting with the instructors
Yesterday our instructors (Mr Bavar , Mr Gierschner and Mrs Banach) from germany visited us, they looked at our place of work and we had a short conversation if everything was ok. At the end of the conversation we arranged to meet for 6 pm at the „dirty onion“.So after the end of the working day it was time to go home and take a quick shower, then we went straight to the pub, the atmosphere was very relaxed and we could also talk to the instructors on another and more private level . After our instructors had gone, we got something to eat and went home.
Another week in London
This week wasn’t too different from the last ones. Nothing really changed at work, I’m still mostly providing IT support, but now I am also quality checking the company website.
My workplace at the Twin School
My day was as usual, nothing special today. So I decided to tell you something about my workplace.
My workplace is like all the other places here, there is only one difference. The other employes got 2 monitors and I got one. Only one monitor isn’t the best solution for programming, but for 2 month I think it’s okay.
My computer is also very “simple” for normal task, but for programming not the best. I got 4 Gigabyte of RAM and an Intel i5 processor.
Meeting our Instructors
Today our Instructors from germany visited us. First we had a short meeting at our work placement. I had the chance to talk about positive and negative aspects of the placement so far.
After that we met at the „Dirty Onion“ which is a bar in the oldest building of belfast (which is already collapsed). We sat together, had some drinks and talked about our internship and what we learned so far. The athmosphere was very relaxed and it was a nice evening. After our instructors said goodbye, we went to McDonalds because I didn’t had dinner yet, and all were pretty hungry.
Mid Placement
Yesterday was actually a day like any other, since everything is now very routine. The time here in Belfast goes by very quickly and it is amazing that we have been here for a month. „Mid Placement“ weiterlesen
