My first week as a semi-material analyst is over and I truly enjoyed it! Of course I haven't experienced the real job yet, as I have almost no real responsibilities, but what I did do and see seemed nice to me. The unavoidable stress won't be nice, but I will feel useful and also that is important I think.
These days have mainly consisted out of training and practicing the programs that I was taught to use. The hardest one is yet to come though, it one that looks a lot like "DOS", completely black with some necessary codes to be filled in and so on. A disaster for my unorganised old computer program eye, but I will do my best to let it make sense to me. :P
The best thing about my job so far, are without a doubt the people. Truly everybody is so nice, and sincerely so, all really helpful and laughing all day long. All have told me they liked working in this company due to the atmosphere and I surely have to agree, it is wonderful. I am part of a team consisting of 4 other persons and it's quite an international group. Our supervisor is from Greece, the data analyst is a Belgian and the two other material analysts are from Spain and the UK. All are quite young and have a great relation, which made me feel very much at ease between them. So now I just hope I will keep feeling as happy as I am now with this job. :)
On a sidenote I could mention that I after only two days applied for holidays. :P And it was approved of, so from the first until the tenth of December I will be back in my beloved Turku! :D I will fly to Sweden, so a visit to Stockholm is the first scheduled stay. Then probably the night ferry to Turku, stay there for the rest of the week and in between visit Helsinki and a few friends there. :) It's still two months away from now, but it definitely is something to look forward to for me. It will be weird though, seeing it back in a different atmosphere, without quite a few people that made it the best place on earth for several months. But some of these friends will be there, so on the other hand I will be able to relive some great moments from back then and experience other new ones. And I want snow! My skates will be going with me, so hopefully the climate will soon turn back to normal and temperatures below zero become a daily aspect of Finnish life. :P It's too warm for the time of year over here as well, but it's quite enjoyable to be honest. :P But yes, autumn should come now. Along with it some rain and opportunities to wear my newly bought winter coat. :P
Pff, seeing my Finnish snowy home back like this makes me realize again how much I miss it there. But soon I will be there again for a while, hopefully with a similar scenery. :)

Nostalgisk (och lite vemodig) Åskgud!
Nostalgia definitely helps to plan great things. :) Like visiting people that live far away! So Thor min, start looking for a map of the venezuelan rain forest. :P And someone to keep all the yuckie spiders away from us. :S There was a HUGE one here some days ago... I was standing on the couch yelling until my dad came to remove it. Even he agreed that it was a monster. :(
