Where do I see myself in five years?

In five years I will be 25. I hope that I have gratuated in five years. After this course I will go working because I did a course before this one and I think that 25 is a beautifull age to stop with studying. I would like my dreams come true. I want to live in America for a few years. My boyfriend is a very good motor racer. In America he can achieve more than in Holland. We want to do a few years everything for his sport. After that we want to go working for a motor race team in Holland or in America. But it is hard to say how long we want to stay in America because we do not know how life in America is like.
With the course I do now I can do a lot of things at a motor race team. Corporate communication is very important for the teams. They need to have sponsors, advertisement and a good communication between riders and trainers and also with other teams. This is a wild dream of me and I hope this dream will come true.
If this not will happen I want to do go working for a motor race team in Holland. But we want to do everything to make our dream come true. But first I want to finish my course because than I can do the communication for racing teams.

Blogpost 2: Living in Utrecht

At the beginning of the training, business communication I lived in Wamel. Wamel is a small village near by Tiel. The connection between Wamel and Utrecht by train or bus is very bad. I had to go by bike and ferry for 10 km to Tiel and there I took the train to Utrecht that takes a lot of time. The ferry is also many times out of service because of to high water. In October 2010 I moved to Utrecht. It was hard to find a nice room. With a lot of luck I qualify for a nice home. I live now in a large townhouse which I sublet to two other girls. We have a beautiful home. I think its luxury to live as a student like this way. A nice home with a big living room, three sleeping rooms, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, garden and roof. We live nearby the center of Utrecht. It’s a nice and quiet neighborhood with a lot of plants and threes.  The advantages of living in a student room are that I don’t have to travel so far and I have a lot of freedom. The disadvantages of living in a student room are that I have to clean my home by myself and I live far away from my family.

But when I want to visit my family I’ll sleep a day with my parents.

Post one: My first half year at the HU

At August 30, 2010 began the lessons from business communication. The first half year was quit an experience. I do like it very well. This half year was also a busy time.

It was a hard first half year for me. I came from MBO and thats less difficult then HBO. I have to spend a lot of time for school. I like the assignment that we have to do. The assignment I liked the most was the assignment where we have to make a movie. We had to choose a childbook and we have to make a movie of that book. I liked that very much. I love the practical courses.

This block we have a lot of theoretical courses. I think that is very boring and I hope that next block will be more interesting. To finish this block I have to do a lot of work. I hope I will finish this block and year with good results. When I have the same results as the blocks before. Then I will not finish this year.

At the last block we have to do a lot of practical assignments I think I like that the most. We have to make a magazine and a website. That is also difficult to make, but I like that very much so then it is less difficult.

It will be a hard year for me but I hope I will make it. I will do my best.

Top tip: Make a good planning then you will have less stress at the rest of the year.

letter of complaint

Dear Mr Jefferson.

I am sending you an e-mail because of the brochure you had made for the event from war child. I am from the event organization agency from Utrecht. I send you one brochure back and I marked two spelling mistakes. But that is not they only mistake in the brochure. The time that the event from war child start is at ten o’clock but in the brochure stays eleven o’clock.

I think that are two big spelling mistakes. The event from war child is about 4 weeks and we want to spread the brochures next week. We thought about some solutions with our team and we think that printing new brochures is the best option. We can not give the visitors a brochure with these spelling mistakes.

I hope you will send me the new brochures as soon as possible.

Yours Faithfully,

Business meeting

Hello I’m the personnel manager

Our colleagues from the head office want to know more about who does what at the company and how the different subsidiaries work.

I don’t like it that the magazine is only in Spanish and English because the pie charts show only a minority of employees speaks these languages. I hope we can change this.

I would prefer a much less glossy publication of this magazine. I want to have more real news and articles in simple language about the everyday lives of ordinary employees.

I think one page a magazine should be in the local language so that could be German or French.

And we have to remove all the pictures of the president.

My weekend

Dear reader of this blog,

I wanna tell you something about my weekend.

I live in Wamel that's a small village near by Tiel. This weekend there was a fruit parade at Tiel. It's like carnaval. Everybody is building a nice car made of fruit and seeds. It's nice to see them ride at the parade. Thousands of people come to Tiel to look at the fruit parade. This year also came prince Willem-Allexander and princess Maxima to Tiel to look at the fiftieth fruit parade.
Also there is a festival names "appelpop". It's the biggest free festival of europe. Many famous artists come to Tiel and entertain twenty-five thousand people.
A few examples of artists who performed: Blof, Di-rect and Carol Emerald.

I was at this great festival. It took two days. Fortunately we had very good weather.

I look forward to "Appelpop" 2011.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Greetings Kiki
