Day 5 - March 15th 2024

The day began early, because due to the fasting month of Ramadan, I was up at 4:30 am to have a light meal before the daily fasting period began. I went back to bed for a bit of extra rest before the busy day would start.

At 7 am it was time to get up and get ready for work. Together with Menne, we left at 8 am for the train station to take our usual commute to the internship location. Upon arrival at the large station, Menne spotted Jens by chance, who is doing an internship at the same location. He wanted to sit next to him on the train, but suddenly he had despawned.

I was at my internship place 30 minutes too early. Once at the internship location, the familiar routine of tidying up the shop and making it clean followed before the first customers would arrive. I thoroughly cleaned the windows and displays so that everything looked inviting. Waited a bit until the boss arrived, then the day could really begin. My tasks consisted of assisting customers, updating, and repairing phones, and handling sales.

Today I also got the somewhat more administrative task of sorting and archiving all papers by month. I briefly became an accountant! It was a varied day with many different tasks.

The fasting period made it a tough day, so during the short lunch break I took a short nap to recharge my brain. After that short rest, I was fresh and energetic again to take on the rest of the workday.

At the end of the day, I came home at 5:20 pm, where I first took a refreshing shower. Then it was finally time to break the fast and go out to eat. Together with my friend Awni, we went to Dublin Central to have the evening meal after a productive but tiring day.
