New education, new place, new people

How do you start talking about something that changed so much about yourself.
About the way you see the people around you...

Well... OK, give this a try shall we...

First day in EBS... Old course takes me with to go play beer pong and flair in the park... Of course after a couple of hours and a pub, I'm completely drunk and can barely get home by myself... Good start for a new beginning no?

So... All pretty basic I thought... Cocktails, flairing and some mixology... Nothing to hard right?

What I did not expect was that the studies would be a bitch...
Interesting and I'm surprised that all of this keeps me so interested... I am new to the industry and I would love to grow, but patience has never been one of my strong suits...

Everything changed with this course... I've mad a small family... Friends I will never forget... People and places to go to... They gave me a purpose while I was lost... I'm happy for meeting Josh & Freddy... Both completely different, but both good at what they do and interested in so many different things...
And Amelia... Always going about talking to people she never met before and trying to do something that scares her every day...
She has shown me a way of living I thought I would never appreciate...

Finally... Our three instructors : Nick, Naomi & Affi... They thought us so much... And even if it was a lot of time we spent together, we never really knew them 'till after the course...
Affi is my example... Straight through the woods and not taking any shortcuts... Doing everything by the book... Sometimes a little bit rude, but hell... He can afford it...

We did so many things, to many to write down... To bore people with...
Pub crawl has to be one of my favorites... All the little bars from Sydney... All the most interesting bars... From A to Z... And still so many to discover... I love this city, but it will never complete me... The western culture is way to big here...

So two months in Sydney... I have been ripped off by bars where I worked at... I have been paid by bars where I worked at... I worked as a waiter, barback and bartender... I learn every day to go up to people and start talking to them... People I never saw and maybe never will again... And it feels good to let myself go and meet up with every other guy or girl that I meet...
I learn every day from the people around me... People with diffirent passions and different feelings about life, love and friendship...
I have been hurt, I have fallen in love and I have gained so much knowledge in so little time...
It feels like my head is ready to explode... But I want to learn so much more...

I'm not wearing my mask any more... I protect myself from time to time... Wich is logic, but I'm the person I couldn't be at home... And I need to grow further... I feel old in comparison to the people around me, but I've seen that that doesn't make me wiser...

Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Sleep where needed, Flair wherever you can!

Yes I cooked my own food while stydying... And yes there were some damm fine meals!!!

Thank you EBS for this awesome experience!
