Each day in Strasbourg has been an amazing experience. There are times when I feel frustrated because of the overload of work and there are moments to cherish as well. So far I have been having ups and downs with my life. The working days are usually frustrating as the assignments keeps on piling up. It is quite difficult to stay focused and try not to get stressed out. The worst part is that you don’t even have time to talk with your parents and let them know about our stay here. I have never travelled in any place and I have never stayed alone as my parents are always there to support me. Global Beginnings is completely different experience to me. It has surprised me in one way or the other. I have taken this as a process of learning new things and gaining a wide range of knowledge.
The best part of this learning experience has been the weekends. After consecutive days of intense work, research, presentations, writing, reading, we finally have time to spend our time the way we want. Forgetting about the work overload and the assignments, we take our time to explore the beautiful city of Strasbourg. We go for shopping most of the times. I am particularly conscious about my diet and so I often go to the market to get some healthy foods. This is the only time where I can think about nothing and relax the whole time. There is so much to learn in so less time and so much to grasp on our minds.
The classes have been so surprising and it has a lot to do with testing one’s ability. We had an assignment and that was completely different from the rest. The main focus of the assignment was to test each individual’s skills and abilities. We were assigned in pairs and our work was to explore the places without knowing any knowledge about it. We were given just the instructions where we had to follow it and find the places and deal with everything. It was definitely an awesome experience and a great way of learning the French culture. This is how we have been spending our time here in Strasbourg and so far everything is just fine.
