The Answer Is Yes

Ok, yesterday I wasn't sure if I'm braindead, today I know the answer. Yes. At least after this day. I just returned from a local company I'll be working for for the next two months as some kind of corporate consultant along with four other students. The company is a bit troubled, they face a lot of problems and we should figure them out and work out solutions for it. This morning we had an appointment with the CEO of the company along with our designated tutor within the company. We discussed what the company does, how some work processes look like, what's expected from us and some issues they already know, but don't know how to solve them. It's kind of a nightmare, as you can imagine. Five students should kind of reorganize a whole company with a business volume of about 17 million euros. It's definetly a challenge. During the lunch break the CEO invited us to a high prized restaurant, where we had a nice lunch and conversation.
I was very lucky with the randomly-assigned team members. They are really nice and in the afternoon when we started to work independently on the key issues, we had a lot of fun, although it was really hard work.
In the company we are treated rather respectfully, we have our own designated room where we can stay and work. The room is huge, it has pretty much everything, from drinks to a telly, but it's lacking one thing: power sockets for our laptops. So we have to use an extension cable, which looks really funny in such an environment.
Right now it's snowing outside and everything is covered with white pouder, which really sucks. It's fricken cold again, and it seems like it's going to remain like this for the next few days, as far as I know. Since yesterday I feel a bit depressed, and I exactly know why. But I'm working on it really hard, though there is no progress in sight yet. And I'm lacking money. My salary hasn't arived yet and I need it dearly. Today I couldn't even have bought something for lunch, I have zero euros left. Fortunatly we were invited for lunch, which was a bit embarassing for me because I was the only one who couldn't finish the dish, as I just didn't feel good. Thoug I think I did fine. Eating out with people I don't really know on a table just makes me feel weird and it's like I'm not hungry anymore. So that was a bit of a challenge today for me. I didn't master it, but I did fine.
Yet a lot of room for improvement of myself. I'm working on it. It's a steady process. With this words I want to say

Good bye for today
