Here I am catapulted into a new world. During the car ride, I did nothing but listen to music and look out of the window (apart from random short periods of sleep) imagining how everything would change, as I would have changed. Sometimes you need a boost to have the courage to be even more self-conscious, to rediscover yourself, to get to know yourself better. Within me, I felt a bitter nostalgia for home, friends, and my comfort area.

The first day I found myself in a world made of boxes to be undone and contracted to sign, to discover pots and dispensers. And so I jumped off the edge! Here everything is pure life, the day seems to be 35 hours instead of 24, you do not have time to think or get bored. Here you are in constant comparison with others and you can ask them for advice. If you need to think alone, the only way is to say "okay, now I go out alone," as happened to me a few days ago when I literally ran off to the lake, the only place that can calm any heart.

Staying in a dormitory means living 24 hours a day with other people. It means cooking, washing, ironing, spending and arranging, and learning and going to lessons. And making all of this stuff always having people around. And all this is wonderful. Everyone has its own personality, but to me, this life is to die for! I'm positive but touchy person and this experience is teaching me a lot about how to deal with this side of me, when it's useless to be upset with someone, when the best thing is to avoid unnecessary discussions, when the best thing is to talk and when to shut up. This is the world I've been dating since # day1
