UPDATE – finding new routine, getting back to old life and stress!

Life is getting a bit crazy. I went through a lot of changes at the end of July and I went back to my old life in Bosnia. After 5 full months in Germany it was time to go back to my old life and organize that, because few changes happened. I thought it’s a good time to write an update, because last one was at beginning of April (here) and since then a lot of things changed.

As I said I’m back in Bosnia. It took me few days to get adjusted, because well 5 months doesn’t seem much, but you definitely find your routine in that time. For me changing routine is a bit hard, it takes me a bit to adjust to new life. I was really happy to get back to my family and friends. Obviously, I missed them a lot and I was happy to see them and spend quality time with them again.

I finished my two internships and honestly I was little bit sad to finish my work there. I really did learn a lot on those interships, I saw technology and different analitical methods that we don’t have and probably won’t ever have in Bosnia. I got to work on different mechanical devices and honestly that will be so good for my future career and will help me out a lot. Also I meet a lot of people in chemistry field and did some networking while I was there to form good relationships, so I can go back to Germany for some other internships or maybe job in future.

I meet a lot of people while I was in Germany, formed some pretty good friendships and I actually really enjoyed being in Germany, meeting new people and spending time with them. I did party a little bit also, I feel like I’m definitely getting a bit old for all night drinking and dancing and then having a bit of hang over and just not feeling the best. When I was 18, I could totally do that, but I’m getting older for sure and partying every weekend is not for me. I still enjoyed letting loose a little bit as I didn’t do a lot of parties in Bosnia.

Even though I picked the worst time to do internships in other country I still managed to get the most out of it. At one point I wasn’t even sure will my internships happen because of virus situation, but I managed to organize everything and I’m proud of myself. I made a lot of valuable knowledge and I’m sure this will make my future business life a lot better.

I did a little bit of travelling while I was in Germany, but nothing much. First of all I didn’t have a lot of free time, because I worked every day from 9 – 5 and honestly I didn’t have a lot of energy for anything else. The weekends were free for me but again, I wanted to rest a little bit and do some research, reading and studying about stuff that I was doing. Still I visited few cities in Germany in region Hesse and I had lovely time doing so.

While I was working in my last internship I actually discovered a new compound. I synthetized it successfully and it will be published in future. That was honestly highlight of my intership and my time in Germany if I’m being honest, that is definitely a huge thing. I never thought I could do anything like that. It is surreal for one student to discover something new, especially in chemistry world. Even though I went through so much stress organizing my life in Germany, things weren’t going good for me at beginning, I had so many problems, but I managed to do everything and at the end of day it was so worth it.

I did some shopping while I was in Germany obviously. I tried to limit myself not to buy too much, but as I was stressed, sad and a bit all over place in first two months I did some retail therapy. I know that is not good, but sometimes it is needed and helpful. I did buy a lot of stuff actually, I had to buy another suitcase just to fit everything. I did a lot of shopping in Mango Outlet, Mango is my favorite store honestly. I always loved their quality and stuff that they produce. I bought 3 new coats from Mango, because they have amazing quality. Honestly they were such a good price and I’m so happy I got them all. I also bought few designer pieces in TK MAXX. TK MAXX is such a great store, I spend a lot of money there. I got some great deals and honestly if in Marburg there was no TK MAXX I wouldn’t spend as much money as I did.

I got few DKNY bits, I always wanted to own something from that brand. I got two makeup bags from DKNY and there are really useful to have. In one I keep every day skin care bits and in the other one I keep daily makeup essentials. I also got mini bag from DKNY which I wore few times already and every time I wore it I got compliments for it. I feel like I really got lucky with these purchases as I got them for pretty good prices. I need to limit myself in next few months as I did a lot of shopping in Germany, so I really need to calm down with shopping.
