The End; thus, a New Beginning.

Just as the speed of light so was my stay in Poland as an Erasmus student and intern. As days turned to weeks, so did weeks turned to months; and finally a start came to a finish. Moments in Katowice felt so good that the thoughts of it's end saddened me :(. This arose a question in me, Why do good things come to an end?. 

Katowice: The city of gardens.

Placki po węgiersku

Katowice, the aspiring city of gardens creates a brilliant platform with superb integration of education, fun, friends and community for the beautiful minds. My time in Katowice was terrific; from trying new things (ice skating, paint ball, go kart...), to eating new scrumptious food (placki po węgiersku, gołąbki, flaczki, żurek śląski, kiełbasa, fasolka po bretońsku...), to drinking new piwos and Wódkas (Tyskie, Lech, Żubr, Żubrówka,  Luksusowa...), to learning new things (polish language, blog writing...), and above all making new priceless friendship (Bulgarians, Colombians, Czech, French, Germans, Hungarian, Poles, Portuguese, Romanians, Spanish, Turkish...).

My internship at the international promotion office of the University of Economics in katowice was a rewarding moment; right from developing my communication skills, to event management, presentation skills got much more effective, creativity development, advertising exposure, making valuable career contacts and many more. To the international promotion team (Iza, Edyta, Kasia, Magda 1, Magda 2, Marek, co-interns and a host of others), I want to say a big THANK YOU for giving me an opportunity to work with you and also creating a comfortable environment. You guys are simply the best! ;)

Getting back to Finland seems pretty strange. I am finding it difficult to get back into the Finnish system for example; the language, I find myself speaking polish to people around me and in return I get a weird look. Another issue is food, I don't see myself eating the Finnish sausages any more, after I have tasted the best so far in Poland. For that reason, I had a stock of Polish kiełbasa (sausages) on my return to Finland. Nonetheless, it feels good to be back seeing old friends and those I can call my family. :)

I'm looking forward to the autumn semester at Savonia University of Applied Sciences Varkaus, which is the time to grab the BBA :). Now I can say; good things come to an end for better things to begin.
