Week 2 Summary

Monday: Patricia and I started the week with a meeting with Fleur. We reviewed our previous week's work and discussed new tasks. Fleur introduced the idea of creating a five-day social media plan, where each day would highlight a different aspect of Valencia. We needed to take photos and come up with useful Spanish phrases for each location. After the meeting, we immediately set out to start taking photos.

Tuesday: The day followed a similar pattern. In the morning, we worked on our tasks at Federal. In the afternoon, we continued taking photos for our social media plan. We aimed to gather a diverse collection of images to make our posts engaging and informative.

Wednesday: We dedicated the entire day to photography and did not go to Federal. We visited both Torres, the cathedral, and several cafés and tapas bars, capturing a variety of images for our plan. It was a busy day, but we collected plenty of great content.

Thursday: We worked from home again. After finishing my tasks, I went for a walk to avoid staying indoors all day. The fresh air was a nice change and helped maintain my productivity.

Friday: We had another meeting with Fleur to review our progress on the social media plan. She was very pleased with our work. We set the date for the first post to go live on Thursday. After the meeting, Fleur took time to show me the behind-the-scenes aspects of the website, while Patricia reviewed the bookkeeping.

Friday Evening: We had fun at the apartment with all the guys, enjoying a relaxed evening.

Saturday: The trend continued as we enjoyed another night at the apartment. The rest of the group went out to explore Valencia's nightlife and visited clubs. I decided to stay in because I was tired, but later regretted not joining them.

Sunday: It was a laid-back day, spent relaxing at the apartment with friends. We enjoyed some downtime, wrapping up a productive and enjoyable week.

Week 1 Summary

Week 1 in Valencia has been a delightful blend of exploration and work. It all began on Sunday, May 5th, when we had an early start at the airport, and fortunately, the flight went smoothly. Upon arrival, we took some time to discover the city, indulging in a nice meal before settling into our apartment.

Monday marked my first official day at Federal, the coworking space where I'll be spending most of my working hours. This is where I had the pleasure of meeting Fleur, my supervisor, over a meal and drinks. We discussed my working hours and the tasks I'll be tackling over the next three weeks. After work, we all went grocery shopping together.

Tuesday kicked off with work at 9:30 AM. One of my tasks involved following routes from the Time To Momo travel guide, verifying the accuracy of information like opening hours for attractions and eateries along an 8 km route. By 2 PM, Patricia and I returned to Federal to input this data into an Excel sheet, ensuring everything was well-documented.

Wednesday brought a change of pace with a planned cycling tour led by Fleur, lasting from 10 AM to 1 PM. Along the way, we encountered numerous picturesque landmarks, including the impressive Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. After the tour, we returned home for lunch and I continued working on my tasks in the afternoon. In the evening, we enjoyed a meal of wraps together.

Thursday began with a bout of neck pain, prompting me to ask Patricia if we could work from home for the day to rest my neck. We continued working on our respective tasks remotely, ensuring productivity despite the change in environment.

Friday's highlight was another route exploration, this time Route 1 spanning 5 km through the Historic Center. We returned around 12:30 PM, had lunch in the apartment, and then updated our Excel sheet with the revised information gathered. The day wrapped up with a relaxed evening back at our place.

Saturday offered a more leisurely pace as we visited the beach, indulged in delicious pizza for dinner, and relaxed at the apartment afterward.

Today, Sunday, has been a typical lazy day, attending to chores like laundry, dishes, and tidying up around the apartment. It's been a well-rounded week, balancing work, exploration, and relaxation in this beautiful city of Valencia. Looking forward to what the next week has in store!
