From the beginning of my internship, I made a huge mistake. I can't believe what I did!!
My flight was very long. From Narita, I went to Newark (US), and then came to Geneva. I left Narita on the afternoon of May 23rd, and I believed that I would arrive at Geneva on the morning of May 23rd.
Just 1hour before arriving at Geneva, I just realized that I would arrive at Geneva not on the morning of May 23rd, but 24th. (cry) There was nothing I could do when I realized it.
I organized my accommodation as I would arrive on May 23. Moreover, I told my supervisor that I would arrive on May 23. He was going to pick me up at the airport (cry). When I got at the airport on May 24, there was no one waiting for me, and no place to stay. At that time, I thought that I can not do internship any longer because of my mistake. However, my supervisor was very nice. I took a taxi to the office from the airport. I just arrived at the office with all my suitcase. At the office, I was looking for a place to stay all the day.
The office was very nice. When I got to the office, I had my desk, my PC, and an email account!!! I also met some people. My supervisor takes care of me a lot. I just can't believe how fortunate I am.
This is how my internship began. PANIC!!! By the end of the day, I was so exhausted. New environment, new people.... Tomorrow, I need to look for my accommodation. No time to rest.
