The first two weeks of the ONL 192 course have passed – two weeks that passed very fast, because there was so much to do and to learn.

The first week of the ONL course was a little daunting. However the first meeting was great. Everyone is incredibly helpful and nice. Particpating in the introduction was interesting.
