I came to London to work as an intern (Lab Technician) for Analytical Services International (ASI) in Tooting. Here in the ‘CSI Tooting’ we analyse drug levels in samples that we receive from hospitals (therapeutic drug monitoring) and mortuaries (toxicology). I find it very interesting and I’m planning on searching for a similar job once I return to Finland. My internship ends on April 15th and from that day on I will be a paid employee for ASI until end of August. In other words, I’m staying over the summer.
I live alone in a studio flat in Tooting Bec, a 30 minute walk from work. I haven’t made any friends over here yet besides the ones at work, but all of my best friends from Finland and my closest family members are scheduled to visit me here.
In February I was introduced to indoor climbing and I immediately fell in love with it. I used to go to the gym and do some heavy lifting 3 times a week. But now that I’m on a budget I can’t afford to pay for both the gym and bouldering memberships, so I had to pick one. Obviously I picked climbing, and I’ve been going bouldering 3-6 times per week since February. I love it, and I’ve made so much progress in such a short time, it’s amazing.
I decided that the Finnish midsummer is the thing I’m not planning to miss, so I’m taking my annual leave from work in June and coming over to Finland for 10 days.
