School chatter

This   post   will   be   more   essay-type  to  include  some of  our   assignments  for  the   training   period .   Knowing   that   this  is my  last   training   period   before   graduation   makes  me  feel   both   relieved  and  melancholic .  These   three   years   have   been   crucial  to my  growth   both  as a person and a  professional .

Hello! Sorry about my radio silence here, so much has been going on and that combined with my laziness... Well, it's good to be back! I'm going to get back to posting on this blog more often.

I’ve had a few people keep and eye on me and guide me through all kinds of tasks so I haven’t had to feel abandoned or helpless at all. In general I think Portuguese people are much more upbeat and social. It’s a nice change from the usual! I live in a dorm with other trainees who are mostly Portuguese. My roommates don’t speak such good English but we manage - we ude google translate and body language a lot! The dorm is very cold compared to Finnish homes but nothing is cozier than burying yourself in blankets and turning on a heater! I’ve also tasted some Portuguese food, my f...
