Alas, this blog has its creation in the early days of 2012. While wishing all the readers an exciting new year, I truly hope that it will not be the last one, as some cataclysmic armageddonian people are predicting.
It was only as of the new year that I realized that Finland and MINE is actually closer than I was originally thinking. Having said this, I can already feel some added excitement, and maybe some anxiousness as the event draws closer.
Having comfortable temperatures of 23 degree and the soft caress of the glowing giant called the sun, might not give me a correct idea of the weather that I am to expect in Pori. However I have my doubts that Malta's sun will be willing to follow me in Pori. But that is OK, I am actually willing to see solidified water, which till now I only got close to when I opened the door to my household's freezer. Also, I must say that I am in a way ready and charged to begin working on this experience whatever it might bring with it, including the work it involves.
Having had a quick glance at the members of the MINE facebook group, I have gathered a slight iidea that this experience will be one that will last a lifetime. In Pori one will have the opportunity to socialize and also work with people from different backgrounds. Furthermore we have different cultures, and our own experiences, which hopefully we will share and learn from each other. The Wiki page, also gave me the idea of the space we are going to focus our experience in, including the University, and leisure activities which include but not limited to saunas and skiing, which I am both looking forward to do. This page aided me to prepare a mental image of what I will be expecting, but I am aware that being there is actually a hundred times as better.
The wiki online page gives relevant information to prospective Erasmus students. One drawback is that the wiki page is not easily accessible to anyone who may be interested in embarking on this project. Furthermore some sections may need updating, while others would be useful having more orgaanised sections. Furthermore the wiki is written in simple HTML code, and not up to date with to date internet expectations. However having said that, would it be accessible freely, and easy searchable, it would be an asset to all students, while promoting erasmus exchange.
But other than that, I am only half concerned as how I am going to kill time while on the aircraft on my way to Pori. But of course annoying a fellow colleague of mine is indeed a good idea.
Looking forward to see you all.
