Today was a great day. I went to this washing-centre. As soon as I saw the lady working there through the window, I knew it – she’s Romanian. I went in and I spoke German. She wrote my name right – ok she’s 100% Romanian, but I didn’t say anything. She later had a question for a colleague. The colleague came in and… yeah. The shop belongs to a Romanian family.. I explained her once more why I believe it…
Today was really cool. Funny thing at breakfast. I was choosing my cheese slices carefully. Camembert. Emmentaller. Hmmm… what’s this… hmm… something with pepper… I suddenly felt a hand on my butt. Okaaaaay. I tuner around. No one. I looked down. Two dark eyes were staring back at me. “Can I help you, little one?” “Can you give me one stick of butter please?” One tiny girl, about 3 years old, wanted some butter, but she was too short to…
Today was rather short. I remained awake until 2.30 am in order to finish the English translation of the blog. While studying for the exam, I had no time for it. I just wrote it in German… Today I went to Blankenese, as Herr Grigorov recommended. But… as usual. I hat to screw up. I got lost. “Uhm…I don’t think we’re in Hamburg anymore, Lin. I’m starting to wonder if this is still Germany.” We wrote a message to Mr….
Today we went to Lüneburg. Lüneburg is rather small and there aren’t many tourist attractions, but the city per se is an attraction. It reminds me of Schwerin and Wismar. The North here has many gems, all of them surrounding the Pearl of the North. Lüneburg is really beautiful. So I bought myself something for my future home. It’s going to sit next to the door and I will keep my keys in there. Hihi. Regarding „Food“. I wanted to…
Today was really short. I had to finally finish the translations. And I made it. I’m really sorry for the typos you guys, but it’s not that easy writing in 3 different languages. And the time wasn’t really on my side. The Blog has leaked :O so I had to hurry. I just went for a short walk today. From the central station to Messenhalle.
Today was a beautiful day. We went to Bremen. The city is absolutely wonderful, it’s not too crowded, not (too) dirty, there’s trees, there’s parks, there’s nature, beautiful buildings and water. It reminds me of Dresden. What I didn’t know was that Lin has relatives here, too. God they’re everywhere. Big family. But today was also a big day for us. Change. As we were wandering through Schnoorviertel we came across 4 new buddies. They said it’s not normal for…
Today was delicious. I really wanted to get to see Chocoversum before I leave my North and that’s what I did today. CHOCOVERSUM. Guys if you come to Hamburg, you must really visit it!! And buy the tickets beforehand (min 24 hrs), they’re cheaper this way (you can find them online). I created my very own chocolate – with chilli and salt… and something crispy on top. I love chilli and chocolate. Legendary combo. Yumm. And then I went to…
I kept considering the idea of not mentioning my birthday here, but then I recalled having written that I was 24 years old. Well not anymore :D. It’s been raining the whole day. Well I did ask for spring and rain does belong to this season… so yeah. Ideals. Hehe. I’m happy though. The most important persons in my life congratulated me and I know I have 3-4 person on whom I can rely. And that’s pretty much all I…
Spring is here! Today was rather short… I just went for a walk and then I spent the rest of the day reading… Oh! And I had lunch at Karo Fisch… Yumm…
Today was a nice day. Except for Lunch. I really wanted to try out a running-sushi restaurant and according to Google… Sushi Circle should be one of the best here. Worst sushi experience ever. 5. But today something good happened, too. Ms Pepelnik called me today. What I really love about Frau Pepelnik is how cheerful and encouraging she always is. She wanted to let me know that they’d received a second request from a Chefarzt in Rendsburg, near Kiel….
It rained the whole day today. But I still went for a walk. I wanted to see the harbour one more time. As I got there, someone started playing „Nearer My God to Thee“ on the saxophone. I found it quite appropriate, since I was there to say goodbye to the Elbphilharmonie and to the harbour. Funny how these things happen… And then I got back to the hotel where I had to pack my things once more. I didn’t…
I didn’t write anything yesterday. So sue me 😛 But I just went for a walk and that’s about it. Today I had the interview with the Prof in Rendsburg. Frau Pepelnik had already organized everything and she explained to me how I would get to the hospital and everything, to whom I was supposed to talk and so on. That was really helpful as I was too nervous to think by myself anyway. I went to Rendsburg by train…
I’m really sad that I didn’t have time to write every day. It’s kind of difficult because I’m always travelling… Frau Pepelnik explained me the way to the clinic once more, what I was supposed to do there and so on… Mr. Karbownik prepared me for the interviews – What should I say? Certa is perfect. Oldenburg is a really nice city… Or at least that’s what I thought at first. But the people here remind me of Aachen and…
I talked to my mom, I talk to the angels of Wismar, I talk to their son, I talked to all my VIPs… I’m really comfortable here in Hamburg. In the North. I can only think of the professor in Rendsburg. The colleagues there. And the one who said that they’d be sad if I didn’t take the offer. But I’m not good enough… I guess they just need people. So I have both spots open. Just for me. Perhaps…
Schon seit der Hospitation wusste ich, dass die Kollegen nett sind. Dann habe ich K und B kennengelernt, die sind AÄ. Am Donnerstag, nachdem ich dem Professor die E-Mail geschickt habe, K und A (auch AÄ) haben mich angerufen. Dann gibt es M, sie ist auch AÄ, J, sie ist FÄ und Linn, auch AÄ. Wir haben auch eine PJ-Studentin, S. Die OÄ sind Herr R, Frau K, Frau Z und Frau D. Ich hoffe, ich habe niemand vergessen. Genau….
Was soll ich sagen, you guys. Ich bin angekommen. Ich bin im Norden, zu Hause. Weniger als 100 km von Hh, ich habe Ostsee, Nordsee ist auch ziemlich nah, ich habe Fisch, Meeresfrüchte, Seevögel… deutliche Sprache, die Menschen hier sind ruhig… Die Wohnung ist ganz toll. Aber ein bisschen entfernt… alles wird besser nachdem ich mein Auto endlich kriege, glaube ich. Auch für die Kolleginnen. Wenn die mich nicht abhoöen können, dann muss ich um 4.40 Uhr aufstehen, um um…
Wenn Sie wie ich sind und aus einem Land kommen, wo die Med-Studenten fast nichts Praktisches machen, dann werden Sie diesen Posten sehr gut verstehen. Ich war mir ganz sicher, dass ich am Anfang manche Probleme wegen meinem Mangel an praktischen Fähigkeiten haben werde. Deswegen sagte ich dem Professor schon seit unserem ersten Gespräch, dass ich fast nichts tun kann. Er erwartete das schon und sagte es Bescheid. Gut. Als Assistenzarzt in Deutschland soll man Zugänge legen und Blut abnehmen….
In letzter zwei Wochen habe ich Kreißsaal begonnen. Die erste Woche war nicht so gut. Aber letzte Woche war besser… ich war da mit M. Ich hatte so eine große Angst vor ihr. Sie wird ihre Facharztprüfung nächstes Jahr ablegen. Sie und B. Aber die hat mir alles gezeigt und erklärt und noch mal erklärt. Ich mag M. In letzter 2 Tagen habe ich einige Patientinnen allein untersucht. Natürlich kam sie am Ende zu korriegieren und mir helfen, aber sie…
Lin wollte unbedingt Kiel Certa kennenlernen. Wir haben mit @Frau Naujoks geredet und wir fuhren dorthin. Um 16.45 kamen wir da an. Das Gebäude ist groß und Certa ist am 3. St. Ich konnte unsere liebe Frau Naujoks nicht finden und wir gingen einfach in einem Büro rein. Da gab’s einen Mann: Herr Schuldt. Er sah mich und kam schnell zu uns. “Hallo. Ich bin C. Ähm…” Lin wollte unbedingt was sagen, aber es war zu früh und der Mann…
Certa I think this whole experience wouldn’t have been so great, had it not been for the Certa Team. Mr Karbownik, Mrs Stade and Mr Grigorov were always there, just a phone-call away, every time I needed something. They would ask regularly if everything was ok, they provided me with extremely detailed Information regarding my accommodation, public transport and everything I needed to know about the Fachsprachschule. Honestly, it felt as if I was part of an actual German family…
