Hello:)
I think I always say to post more regularly on LJ; well, it never happens. The rare thing I often think about stuff that I can put down here. Like: Oh my god, that would make an excellent LJ-post open sentence. Perhaps I'll try to make my post easier. Like not that thought through. Or, less thought through, I should say.
I haven't posted o 3 weeks.
I've been up to a lot; visiting mum's relatives up north(do you know that it is 1000km drive for me?!), hiking, visiting my sister in the west of Norway, and also a friend I gained last year at school. It was so nice to see my friend again, she lives at this really special place too, with amazing nature, and it is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Norway.
While being there I got this idea; why not go there after 2 years with French (and English) studies, I'll fit right in as a guide! I'll get to practice speaking French while earning money... The guiding is done in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian,... Besides, I could probably do German too, if I don't forget everything I've learned. I was thinking I should buy Harry Potter in German, I've tried to read a German HP book, and it was fine.
However, now I've got the book list for the subjects I'm taking and I better start to read on those instead...
Which leads me to:
OMG! I'm going to Scotland next month. It is actually a month today!
Not only am I starting University, but in a foreign country, and everything that goes with it. Shit. I'll be a foreigner. Well, they are mostly exotic, aren't they? I've always loved that word.
There are so many things to prepare...! You would be surprised. Like insurance, banking, loan, all these other preparations like housing, choosing modules and so on... I still don't know if I should open a bank account over there or what.. tips?
I'm happy that I got to love in the Hall I wanted though, and the modules are safe to say that are OK.
Perhaps it's too much, but I'll be taking:
-French(of course)
-English; Author, reader, text
-Religion something (a module under English studies)
-Scottish history (a module under English studies)
-Language and society (a module under English studies)
I'm super exited!
PS: If anyone(especially if you're form the UK, *nudge nudge*) has any tips or such, please comment!
