Steem Sri Lanka - Contest Series | Round 02 | Week 04 – Memories of 2020

On the first of January 2020 there as a dozen dreams in my mind. That's true, we all faced an out of syllabus question, this pandemic. Even though some planned things were missed, unplanned things came to my life.

1. Finishing my Internship

I worked for 6 months as an intern of a company and in February I finished my internship time. Our Norwegian product owner who visited Sri Lanka had organized a farewell party for me with our development team. It was a big surprise for me because I never expected such a farewell during the stay of our client in Sri Lanka.

I worked just 3 months in team UpNorway but all of them become so close to me by such a little time. It was the best time I spent after my school age.

2. Comming For Quarantine Vacation

After the internship, we had a two weeks break and that's when we got our first COVID patient in Sri Lanka. There onwards we had a vacation till September with online lectures and again in October, we had a vacation due to the second wave. At that time we had exams. Unfortunately, we got a vacation in the middle of the exam.

3. Joining Steemit Again

During the vacation, I tried so many things. Gardening, crafts, foods, and reading books. Once everything is finished, I just open steemit and tried things. When they didn't work, I learned from the video tutorials of @joeparys and found the real beat of steemit. Actually, steemit made my vacation meaningful. It improved my creative mind, and had some rewards for work, and change the game. I won both #thediarygame season 1 and season 2 and the unforgettable thing is winning the team prize for #thediarygame season 2.

4. Having a New Cat

For the first time, we adopted a cat in October. A cute and annoying one who started to love me than others.

5. Got a New Phone as a Gift

I had a nice birthday present that I never expected. My old phone was totally out of trend so my boyfriend gave me a new phone, Samsung Galaxy M21 which gives perfect photographs really suitable for my steemit works.

This is another unforgettable thing. It happened at the end of November. I was in the middle of an interview and suddenly my room is affected by a thunder blot. I had a slight shock and also felt a huge pain in my ear and I went out of the room without thinking about the interview. It was an embarrosing moment for me and even the interviewers. I had to reschedule the meeting and make an apology to the interviewers. My headset is also damaged and I was lucky that my ear recovered after two days.

If I consider the overall year, this year I got many life lessons, more than academic lessons. Anyhow, I learned how to work with a team, how to make long term plans, how to communicate with others, how to find solutions for problems. I think, this year gave me many out of book knowledge which is very important to my future.
