Change to Change

Workplace

From “The Hive” group room, my main workplace has shifted to the finance office. My “space” is now just a desk with a computer and my rural-accented supervisor instructing me on the financial basics of the organizations. The tasks for the next few weeks: supporting the processing of NOW Group's financial flows, specifically handling invoices through the digital finance system Sage.    

Living situation

I said goodbye to my beloved hostel and moved into my own room in the student dormitory. My “space” now consists of a slightly dirty communal kitchen and a lot of peace and quiet. 

Highlights of the week: 

A trip with the Family Service by bus to the NOW Group's own pottery studio, where we had homemade pizza in the new stone oven and then took a detour to Helen's Bay, where we stood with ice cream in hand and dipped our feet in the salty water. 

A quiz night at the pub, with many new acquaintances and subsequent planning for the next few weeks.
