Petra - Ready to go...

Looking for a direction in my life... As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. Seneca

First 2 weeks on AIESEC International

As usually I again forgot to post some news on my blog. As usually so many things are happening that I never find time to do that.

So what`s the update from my side?
I have successfully passed my state exam which was a big relief for me because I would have got into troubles if I had failed because I wouldn`t have any time to do that. It feels so good to have it done… Even though it`s just about having two letters in front of my name, it matters a lot!
Now I`m finally in Rotterdam after two weeks of my transition… still six more to go! I`m extremely excited about my new role and I`m really enjoying my time here. It seems that this is exactly the change I needed in my life – new environment, new people, new work….new beginning!

Last two weeks were very intense, so many things were happening at the same time. I moved to Rotterdam at the end of May. I`m living in a very nice house. It`s such a pleasure after spending one year on MC flat.:-) The only disadvantage about it is that it`s quite far from the office so we have to walk every morning about 40mins to get to the office. I`m staying with Ewelina(Poland) and Mo(Romania). The first weekend we spent on the beach in Den Haag. It`s a bit different than other beaches around the world but still it`s a very nice place to go – very relaxing with many nice bars. This weekend we spent one day catching up with our ER transition and Sunday was about chilling. I didn`t do anything. I was sleeping, browsing internet, cooking, watching football (very sad activity to do☹) and cleaning. 

Besides being involved in the transition, I have managed to sign up to a gym. It`s such a cool gym. It has 6 floors and you can do many different activities. I love it! It`s very close to the office which is the way how to keep work/life balance…

The plan for this weekend…? I want to buy a bike. Everybody here has a bike, it`s a national hobby. After spending two weeks here, I understand why. Therefore I want to have one as well. So the plan is clear: buy a bike and discover Rotterdam. ☺ Can`t wait to do that…

Hugs from Rotterdam,
Petra
