Goodbye Matka, hello St. Peter Line!

Woah. It's March already! Where did all the time go?

Matka Travel Fair is far behind and a new project has begun. The Matka Project went well and the actual fair was an awesome experience. I had the chance to meet lots of people and create important connections.

Every project has its challenges. Luckily we faced only small difficulties, for example with the fair tickets and with the technology at the stand. And yes, also some people caused me some loss of hair with their absence, but still I would say they were small challenges and we solveved them quickly.

My class mates gave me very good feedback in all of our peer assessments. There were approximately 79 assessments of me and only a couple of them had a grade 4/5 or 4,5/5 instead of 5/5. One assesment had even 6/5! I am very grateful and to be honest, I have never got as good feedback in my life. Feels awesome to get very positive feedback of the hardwork I did during the project. :)

Now we are working with a research project. We are planning and implementing an image and a customer satisfaction research for St. Peter Line ferry company. Project can be found from Facebook and Twitter @TOBBA13HH but this time we are concentrating on video promoting on YouTube in our TOBBA13HH channel! Check out our first TOBBA13 Movement video!

Our class has been divided into teams: Transformers (writing), Aron's Angels (Travel Agency), Nerd Squat (IT Support), Wise (Research), PRO (PR). I am a member of the PRO team and mainly responsible of Facebook, Twitter and Youtube updates.

I am a bit disappointed to the project, or how it has begun. We have been at campus since January and not until this week have we actually DONE something for the project. The start has been very slow and I know we are going to be in a terrible hurry very soon because of it.

On the other hand I am pleased with the fact that now I have had enough time to concentrate on my other courses; I am especially excited about the language studies. I decided to start German from the beginning although I studied it on my 8th and 9th grade. We've had two tests by now and I got 5/5 from the first one, the other I haven't got back yet. I know I didn't remember some things but I had a good feeling about the test afterwards. :)

Unfortunately I am not able to do my internship abroad this summer due to my financial situation. I have applied to several jobs from Porvoo (summer jobs and part-time jobs starting from now) and I really hope to get one soon. I will try to find the internship place for the summer 2015 and apply for the exchange programme for spring 2016. Of course this situation annoys me but all I can do is to keep applying those jobs, work hard and hope the best...
