Exordium (Week 0, 28th Feb - 3 March)

Having our overseas internship at Period 1 in the new academic year, there wasn't exactly much time to prepare. To illustrate, we didn't even start packing until after our last exam (3 days before we were due to leave for Germany 😅)...

WOOOOO! - Switzerland 🏆🍻🥂 (Week 11, 13th May - 19th May)

This week was the final week of our project! We had to submit everything by Tuesday, the 14 of May. It was quite the stressful experience but we managed to get everything done and dusted before the dateline! The reason why the dateline was on a Tuesday was because our final meeting with the Professor falls on a Wednesday and he wanted sometime to look at it before grading us the next day.
