A hollywood ending

I have personally loved Hollywood movies because no matter how dramatic the entire story is, it always ends positively, giving the audience much hope in life. And here is my hollywood ending of my internship:

It started from 11.30am, a heart to heart chat with my boss. Since she is extremely busy, everytime she spent some time on me, I very much appreciated it. The talk was very nice and just something needed a bit more along the way of the internship. But life is full of 'what ifs'. There are things that I need to improve (as always) and I am sure I have learnt them the hard way this time.

Then our team had lunch together, sadly one of my managers was seriously sick and was not there. We had great conversations about each other's cultures and some burning issues of democratization. Then Catarina (one of my teammate and a very kind lady who I spoke with the most in my office) bought me a book called 'very swedish' on behalf of the team. 'Very Swedish' is just like its name, a cook book connects Swedish cousines with different landscapes. It for sure goes into my luggage and travels to Shanghai with me. Just imagine, I can point at the pictures to introduce Sweden to my parents while Aron will be cooking Swedish cousine of where he is from. (Sorry Aron, I have assigned you a role already!)

3pm, I met Electrolux interns for a farewell fika (a Swedish word for catching up over a coffee with your friend). It was so lovely to see their faces though I had not spent too much time with them. Then this is the second lesson of the day - do spend time with your pals while you are in the same place. With a bit of regret but more of delight, I felt things are ending more positively than how I felt and reacted all the time.

As Vendela (my boss) said, we learn more when it was hard times. I can't find a better summary of this experience.
