Since I love the bullet point thing, and can't be bothered to go into too much detail, here's a shortened version of what we've all been up to.
- Went out for Gethin and Ashton's 21st birthdays, which involved the usual stuff of cocktails, shisha and karaoke.
- Enjoyed the action of a sweepstake on when Gethin would vom, and didn't enjoy the responsibility of getting him home afterwards. Not pleasant.
- Hopefully acted diplomatically when faced with a certain group of people.
- Went to Munich, and realised what a small world it actually is.
- Had my first ever beer-related hangover.
- Found out which modules I'll be enduring next year.
- Saw a picture of my unborn neice/nephew and got really excited about it.
- Booked a language course in Belgium for August.
- Didn't make it to Venlo, but had an amazing weekend with Harri anyway.
- Started to panic about how little time I've got to get my uni project done.
- Couldn't decide whether or not I want to go back to my job in Birmingham.
Off to see third eye blind tonight with Harri.....not going to lie, not entirely sure who they are but I'm sure it will be an evening full of laughter and fun and the such like. :)
I am really starting to look forward to getting home, and really not looking forward to leaving Germany. :)
Hi Victoria!
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed reading your blog - you write so well! You seem to have travelled a lot on your year abroad, I'm very jealous that you're in Germany while I'm stuck here in London :) I spent my year abroad in Florence a couple of years ago and since then have been setting up a website www.ThirdYearAbroad.com to help students plan and make the most of their time away - we've got a 'when you're back' section to help with multilingual job hunting too, but we only launched a couple of months ago so we're working on getting a lot more information on there.
I was wondering if you might be interested in writing a review of your time in Germany for us? Your best bits, what you would have done in hindsight, your most difficult experiences, useful websites, what you shouldn't have packed, your favourite words... Your insight would be invaluable - and of course we'd credit your work on the website.
If this sounds interesting, please do send me an email at lizzie@thirdyearabroad.com and I can send you more information. In the meantime, if you get a second to check out the site I would LOVE to know what you think as it's only there for people like you and I'm longing to know what works and what doesn't.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best wishes,
Lizzie
