It’s been a while since my last post so here comes a small update on how everything is going. A lot of new things have happened and I can’t wait to tell you guys all about it.
News number one is that I started language school, because I feel it’s important to learn the language if I want to have a better chance of getting a job here. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm I go to learn some Dutch. According to my mentor I am currently taking A1 which are just the basics. Some of the stuff I have learning I already knew from Duolingo, but some things are new which is nice. It’s also back to having homework which is alright. My school last until the 28th of October. I will then take an exam/test to check if I move on the next level. Getting to the school have been a bit complicated since the public transport here isn’t that reliable. All in all it’s still a fun and exciting experience and one that will help my move better.
The second news is that since I’m going to school I got told that I could get vaccinated for free. All I had to do was meet up at the place that was mentioned and bring my ID (which in my case is my passport). So I headed over to the location this Tuesday (21st September) and there were quite a lot of people to no ones surprise since it was a free vaccination shot. The queue time tok around 20 min so it wasn’t so bad. When I got in the front the were a couple of staff that asked if I was feeling ill and they also took my temperature. Then the guy at the desk took my passport and registered me for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
For those who doesn’t know that vaccine you only take one shot off so no second dose needed. It is meant for people who for example are homeless and hard reach to get to meet up for a second dose. It has an efficacy of 66.9% against symptomatic moderate and severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. There are a lot more detailed information, but I am just happy that I’m fully vaccinated. According to the people working there I will get an email once everything is finalised and completed. After taking the vaccination my arm has been a bit stiff for the past days. My side effects so far has been: Pain, a bit of swelling in the arm and muscle pain, chills, nausea throughout the rest of my body, but nothing too serious which I’m happy for.
My boyfriend on the other hand is still I’ll from his second vaccination shot. It’s been almost 6 weeks and his glands are still pretty big, but at least he seems to get his taste buds back to normal. He does miss going to work which is understandable so hopefully he will recover soon and be able to go back to work.
So that was just a small updated on what has been happening with me these past weeks. There are still a lot of things to be done before I’m can considered being fully moved. My next plan now is to get try to get an appointment at the Norwegian embassy in Brussels to help out with making my official address set here in Belgium. All in due time. For now we just got to wait and hope for the best.
Halloween is coming up and I do have some plans when it comes to games I am planning to play on stream. So whiteout spoiling too much all I’ll say if you’re like horror games or watch someone who never usually plays them try them out then definitely feel free to stop by my stream during the next anytime the next month especially on Halloween.
