Hobbies and free time

My hobbies include skiing, reading books, jog and listening to audiobooks. I use English at work. I understand English better than I speak it. I plan on starting to read and listen to books in English as well as Finnish.. In my spare time, I usually drive to our cabin to relax and ski. I also like to travel in my free time whenever it is possible.

Study Unit

I wanted to start studying to become a restaurateur because I don’t want to work three-shift all my life. Sometime in the future I hope to have a regular day job. My dream would be to work in the sales department at my workplaces hotel. During this year, I’m getting part-time sales service job. At the beginning, the idea would be to spend part of the week in sales service and part of the week in the restaurant side.

I have enjoyed my studies. At first, I worried about how to combine work and school, but I have succeeded very well. In some courses, I’ve noticed that I can’t get in touch with the teacher properly, but I’ve still been able to complete the courses. I am very satisfied with my studies at Lapland University of Applied Sciences. I can recommend studying at Lapland University of Applied Sciences to everyone. I recommend online study to those who know how to take care of their own study pace.
