REALITY UNVEILED

· Learning theory is one thing and putting theory into practice is another, as a foreigner in a foreign place I have always found that comfort in sticking with my own people who understand me much better as a person and maybe have the same culture. Working at Thirtyfour I will say was like an adventure which it is really, it was a swirl of emotions. I was exited because this is my first job and I was determined to do my best, but then there is that chill of nervousness because I didn’t really know what to expect, who I will work with and all because as far as I can remember I have always been my own boss in my school work and if maybe I was a control freak it was for the good cause and in this case, change was giving me goose bumps. The first week I did the listings on the fashion directories , I was truly naïve about the field , my colleagues are nice , flexible but yet professional people . I was willing to learn and I got it after some time and one might think it is just nothing , I have to tell you this is something , the whole week I did directories and I have to admit it felt like I have been there for a year , waking up at 5:30 knocking off at 6 and arriving at home at 8/9 pm was no joke for me , even though I had to go to the cinema to at least watch cartoons which I hate I needed to ease up and program my mind that this is the real thing, the real world out there aint gonna be any different , maybe worse. During this whole week I learned to put values live productivity and timeliness into practice, I had to get used to the idea that the pressure I am facing now, there is plenty of it in that competitive industry .
