Hello again and happy holidays to everyone!
My name is Lea Rettig and I would once again like to welcome all of you to my blog and hope that you will find it helpful to look at my journey throughout the next year.
Personally I am very curious and excited to see what this great experience, which will start in only a few weeks time, is going to be like, as I am sure everyone joining Glion is.
During this festive time of the year, which is currently filled with magical snow-covered landscapes, luminous Christmas markets and beautifully decorated houses here in Germany, it seems rather easy to forget about the life-changing event, which is going to take place in only a few weeks time.
However, even though I am a declared Christmas enthusiast, this is not the case. I already find myself lying awake at night, thinking about the weeks to come. Having dreamt of joining Glion for a long time now it is quite difficult to grasp the fact that this dream is actually about to come true.
I wonder about what the New Year is going to bring, especially in terms of new experiences regarding new practical, as well as new educational knowledge, meeting many new people, getting used to living away from my family and gaining a lot more independence. All these things are very exciting, but also very frightening at the same time, because you can never know what exactly to expect.
However I do believe that all of my interests, reaching from languages, over management, to traveling and experiencing new cultures, are combined in the field of Hospitality Management, which is why the joy and positive expectations definitely outweigh the fear.
Therefore, I will just cherish the time I have left with my friends and family and will not obsess over all the excitement that is about to begin.
With this thought I would like to finish by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and also, even though this is a bit in advance, a wonderful New Year filled with joy, happiness and many great new experiences.
Joyeux Noel, Frohe Weihnachten and Merry Christmas!!!
Lea
