My time here has been wonderful and painful at the same time. I love going to work, it gives me something to do on weekdays. I also started to train for a 10K run this fall, but last weekend was my first weekend after the high of my arrival and I felt sad. Now things are normal, everyday life stuff which is okay, but my normal life includes my husband and my dogs. I was miserable last weekend, I did some shopping, had my nails done, went out to eat alone, which sucks. It\u2019s no fun when you\u2019re all by yourself. I know that this is a new thing for me, since I\u2019ve been together with my man for 17 years, I have somehow forgotten to how to be alone. I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll manage though, and I know things will get better as the time goes by.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s been happening at work? Well I have been attending a corporate induction, where they tell the new staff members of all their values, health and safety issues and all the stuff you should know as a new employee. I got the chance to participate in that and it was interesting, and I quite enjoyed it. We got to do some group tasks and people asked me how many years I have lived in UK, and I just laughed and said well I\u2019ve lived here for a week and they just can\u2019t believe it. Then I would explain that I\u2019ve started to learn English when I was 9 years old, and then they are stunned by that, and I have to say that I\u2019m thankful for Finnish education system. Oh, and I knew this beforehand but got the chance to witness myself that the Brits really are punctual. They gave us a schedule of the days agenda and it was spot on, I was really impressed by it.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have my own desk now, I have my logins and my ID badge, and\u00a0 people are giving me tasks to do and I feel good that I understand the tasks given me and I feel that I can work as a part of the group.\u00a0 I still don\u2019t know everybody at the office but those of who I have met and talked to and whose names I almost remember seems lovely and just as weird as me. I have a good feeling about this place and I finally feel like I’m fitting in.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Weather hasn\u2019t been as good as it was the weekend I got here, and it has been raining. It\u2019s funny how it looks grey when it rains even though the trees are green, and the cherry trees has their blossoms, but it\u2019s like you can\u2019t see the colors when it rains. In Finland in the summertime when it rains, it still looks green and bright, so this is just something I have realized while being here.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I must mention this one thing that\u2019s been an annoyance really and that\u2019s the traffic. We all know that the Brits drive at the wrong side of the road and I am aware of this just because I have visited London few times. In London it\u2019s written on the road beside the sidewalks which way to look; look right, look left. It doesn\u2019t say that in here though! So, there I am crossing a street and turning my head like an owl and I swear if I survive without a car hitting me I consider this work placement as successful!<\/p>\n
