Work placement in Brussels

Hi, there... Well, I am working at Tech Tour for almost two months already. These two months past really fast, I thought it would last longer. This is my weekly blog, and today I will tell you about one more week at Tech Tour. Today's table of contents: Other students in Brussels Walking distances Tickets to Maastricht School assignments  Let's start with the other students in Brussels. Before I came to Brussels, I knew that some of the students from my course, my classmates, also found an internship in Brussels, but I didn't think that we will keep in touch in Brussels. At the time I came here, they have been here for 1 month already, they contacted me and asked if I would like to go out, to sightseeing Brussels. I agreed, I thought it was very good idea to go out and communicate with other students. Otherwise, I would have just stayed alone, discovering new places by myself. That day we were walking a lot. I have an app in my phone that shows how m...

This week I would like to talk about some small things at work. This weekly blog I would like to start with the previous week. The previous week was the funniest week since I have been here. You would ask me why... I will tell you. As was told before the office I am working in has only 8 employees, and previous week everyone, except me and my supervisor was gone. There was an event in Italy, and two of the employees flight there, the other my colleague went to the other event in London and the others worked from home. It was very quiet in the office, especially when my supervisor left. I was alone in the office for a couple of hours, I was trying to work, and I actually did what I was assigned to, but it was quite difficult for me. You don't want to work when nobody is working, you just feel lazy. I felt like a cat, I just wanted to lay on the ground and do nothing. But there was also an advantage of staying alone, I was leaving earlier those days as my supervisor let me do so....

Good afternoon everyone.. Or what time is it now at your place? Today's topics will be as following: Life outside Summer time  Project Meetings So let's start with the life outside. What do you think I mean with the "life outside"? For me it is the time that I don't spend in the office now, my free time. Free time? Yaaaay.. Actually, I have plenty of free time, but I think that I am wasting it. I need to start doing something that will move me from "freeze" point. At my free time I am usually trying to relax at home, or I am walking around the neighborhood. By the way my neighborhood is called Ixelles. It is really nice place to live in, here are a lot of students, because the VUB university is located in the middle of this neighborhood. A lot of parties are held here, but I am not a "party" person, it might sound a bit boring, but I am enjoying my life without parties. I really like the time spent alone, I can think a...

Guess who's back? Back again... Sooooo let's start with the week number four. Today I will talk about my work placement more than about the Brussels or its weather. This week started with a "Work from home" job. Due to my English retake exam I wasn't able to work in the office, so I asked my supervisor to do everything I could do at home. And she agreed. While working at home I found out that this is not the type of work I like. I feel so lazy at home, I don't have any motivation to work. I think it is due to a lot of other things I actually can do at home, and these things are more interesting than work. Work from home..This made me think of "HOME". Person usually has only one place, where it feels like home. But I have two of these places. One is my flat back to Latvia, and the other one is just a small room in Deventer. I felt so warm and cozy when I came from Brussels to Deventer. I felt like home, I wanted to stay there and did...
