of moving to where he lives and exploring a new country has been increasingly on my mind recently I was in Berlin checking out Apartments after a few disappointments I finally found a lovely place my new room is in a two-person flat on the third floor with a large window overlooking a garden it is bright and beautiful Yasmin my future flatmate from Turkey greeted me warmly and we hit it off instantly now I'm faced with the challenge of wrapping up my life in posan I have so many memories of my life in the city long nights

or just a funny tale from our time together the evening was filled with laughter with a few tears shed at the end when the party was over my heart felt heavy I wouldn't see my friends again for a long time but of course we'll stay in touch no matter how far apart we are now I sit here contemplating my next steps I wonder what my life in Germany will be like will I settle in will I make new friends luckily there's Yasmin my flatmate I hope my new colleagues in the lab will be nice too
it's a farewell and a new beginning all at once I'm excited but there's also a bit of fear but I'm ready to take this step goodbye pnan hello Berlin I'm ready for my new adventure useful words and expressions to land a position to get a job or role usually after a lot of effort examples after months of interviews she finally landed a position at her dream company everything changed when I landed a position in a chemistry lab in Berlin to be on one's mind to keep thinking about something her upcoming wedding is constantly on her
mind the idea of moving to Berlin and exploring a new country has been increasingly on my mind the disappointment the feeling of sadness or displeasure when something doesn't go as expected losing the match was a big disappointment for the team after a few disappointments I finally found a lovely place to hit it off to get along well with someone immediately examples I didn't expect to hit it off with my new colleague so quickly Yasmin my future flatmate from Turkey greeted me warmly and we HD it off instantly to wrap up one's life to bring an
end to one's current way of living often because of a significant change he is wrapping up his life in New York to start fresh in London now I'm faced with the challenge of wrapping up my life in pnan countless too many to be counted examples there are countless stars in the sky I have so many memories of my life in the city long nights with friends and countless de conversations to sort through something to look through a collection of items to decide what to keep or give away she spent the weekend sorting through old photos
now I have to sort through my belongings and decide what to keep sell or give away to bring something along to take something with you when you go somewhere examples please bring your laptop along to the meeting everyone brought something along snacks soup sweets small gifts or just a funny tale from our time together my heart felt heavy to feel sad or emotional my heart felt heavy when I left my family at the airport when the party was over my heart felt heavy to stay in touch to continue communicating with someone they stayed in touch
through letters and phone calls but of course we'll stay in touch no matter how far apart we are to settle in to become comfortable in in a new place or situation examples it took a few weeks to settle in at the new job I wonder what my life in Germany will be like will I settle in to take a step to make a significant decision or change taking this step towards a healthier lifestyle was the best decision I'm excited about starting my new job in Berlin but there's also a bit of fear but I'm ready
to take a step hey I'm Sophia I was living in the same city for 27 years now I'm embarking on a new chapter in my life it's hard to believe it's finally happening having lived and studied chemistry in pnan in Poland I spent a year searching for work without much luck but everything changed when I landed a position in a chemistry lab in Berlin I can hardly believe it to be honest the decision to move to Germany has a lot to do with my best friend Daniel I met Daniel an American who lives in Berlin
