17/02/2023, the 10th and last working day.
I thought it was going to be a calm day, not much work, just an ADC college meeting. But was I wrong. I arrived at work around 10am and instantly saw that there was a lot of work waiting for me to finish before entering the ADC college meeting.
The laptop from yesterday which was almost finished, and the big and heavy gaming laptop which was unable to start.
I first finished the first laptop because there was not much to do to finish it. Then whilst trying something on the second laptop, he came to me with yet another laptop which could not start. After some time I finally found the problem on the second laptop and while that one was installing windows I started the third laptop.
This was a very unusual problem, one that both me and my supervisor had never seen.
Eventually after trying 100 things I did something and it suddenly started working.
After finding out that, I continued with the second laptop. I thought I had finished the second laptop, but my supervisor found another problem, which was also pretty weird and unusual. Unable to find the problem to the second laptop, I finished the third laptop.
I still have not found the problem to the second laptop’s problem, but sadly my time was running out, and I had to attend the ADC college meeting. After that, I cleaned the mess I left behind and said my goodbyes to my supervisor.

I was kind of happy but sad at the same time. Sad because I would miss the work I was able to do here because I really enjoyed it, but also happy because I could finally look forward to going back home to my family and girlfriend.

I took my bus back home around 4pm and came home around 5:30pm. I left my backpack in my room, changed in some nicer clothes other than my working outfit, and almost instantly left again to catch my bus back to the city.
After arriving there, I ate dinner in the city after letting my host family know. After that, I went to meet up with my friends to go have fun and party because we were able to have this great opportunity and being able to do this all together.
