My Life@Praktikum

It is already 2 weeks since I began my internship. I must tell, my recent life is one of the most difficult time during my stay in Germany. As the only girl, the only Asian in the department, and the only one working with Linux among the interns, my work is as they warned me before: very independent. With my poor German and quiet personality, it is extremely difficult to chat. Although some of my collegues, especially Frank and Stefen, notice my difficulties and have taken the initiative to talk to me. The long travel and work hours also kill. However, the best thing about my internship is having Oliver as my supervisor: a workaholic who works till 1am in the lab at night, and a very experienced programmer. He knows what kind of tasks he should assign to me to let me learn, and sounds also very friendly (maybe in an European manner though :p) But my life here can be worse without him. Ein Schatz: "So... Frau So, Du kannst deinen Personal-ausweis abholen."
