Well with the current issues with transport from and to the UK, my flight has been delayed by an hour and a half, so I shall use this time to write another blog entry and fill you guys in.
Well the last few weeks have been quite sad as the time has been drawing to a close. People have been slowly disappearing one by one. The rush round to say goodbye to all my new friends has been quite something and sadly I have not been totally successful. Sp for all those I couldn’t say goodbye to, forgive me. I wish all my new friends every bit of luck in the world. It has been an amazing adventure this past semester. Making friends from all over the world is great but sadly I won’t see you as much as I’m used to anymore. I feel like a family is being broken up. I hope to one day visit you all in your home countries and I hope to come visit you in yours. I already have plans to go to the Netherlands to meet up with my Austrian friend Max for Queens Day, (A royal holiday, cheeky!) Also I have an invite to go to a beer fest in Germany in Fabians home town. My leaving book is filled with offers of a place to stay should I come out. It has been valuable experience but luckily for me I get to do it all again in January.
January is a bit daunting with most of my Fadders going on their exchanges around the world I wont have as many people around however I am leaving suburban life behind and moving to a flat in the city. Plenty of new people to be met and of course I still have Jake, Anna and Thomas plus the locals around.
I’m currently waiting on one exam result in particular. Swedish 1. I need to pass this to continue my Swedish studies next semester. The grammar is quite tough but I have a feeling it has gone better than the first time round just need to get 60% to pass! 60%!
I am looking forward to going home, sad it may be to leave this time behind, but I gather my family are missing me and I them. Plus it is the Xmas break and I love spending it with family.
Well that’s all I shall write for now as I’m hoping the plane taking me to Gatwick will be here in a few minutes, (Delayed take off from Gatwick!) I then have a flight from Gatwick to LeedsBradford, last minute booking as the snow has caused rail problems.
I shall give a full update and summary of this semester in my next blog once I get home.
God Jul & Gott Nytt År
(Especially my Nordic friends who celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve)
