Then, after holidays were over I had to pack all my things to come back to Utrecht. I have to say that moving from one city to another one every six months is quite exhausting, but it is also the chance to face a mixture of emotions. On the one hand leaving behind good memories, experiences and people that became part of our daily life during a short period of time is sad. But on the other hand, coming back to Utrecht, meeting with old colleagues, and setting up again a new “home” is an amazing feeling full of expectations.
I’m now living in what some call the “ghettos” of Utrecht, but for me it is really cousy. In fact sometimes I don’t feel I am actually living in Utrecht. When I see throw the window, there are lots of children that spend all the afternoon playing outside and many many women chatting with their next balcony neighbor in the mornings while they hang the clothes to dry. For me it’s interesting to see this other side of the city and be part of both.
But this new beginning comes together with more academic and professional challenges as well. I need to start planning my thesis and before I will notice it, the master will be over. However it’s rewarding to see yourself advance and achieve the objectives you’ve set. At this point I can see all the knowledge and experience I’ve gain during the last year and that makes me feel even more eager to begin with my thesis and be able to star my professional life soon.
