hello, again

So it's September, oops. Where did the last 4 months go? Let's briefly play catch up.

My last post was about a lovely day in Liverpool in April, since then I've been to Iceland, Dublin and America. I've sat (and passed!) all my exams, I've moved out of my uni house, worked abroad for 7 weeks and am now preparing to move abroad a bit more permanently.

Next week I'm off to Brussels for 3 days with Liverpool Young Labour to see the European Parliament, then I'm back for a week for my brother's 18th and then I'm moving to Brussels to study until the end of January. It seems I'm hardly ever at home these days, so I'm enjoying my time here for the time being. I'm squeezing in boring things like eye-tests and dentist appointments but also making the most of seeing home friends before we all go separate ways to start either our years abroad or final years of uni- when did we all get quite so grown up?!

I'm doing that thing all year abroad students do, I've decided to start blogging about my experiences, because of course you absoultely need another slightly pretentious languages student telling you how life-changing and eye-opening getting drunk in a dodgy european bar is. I do have slightly romantic (read: naive) ideas about how fabulous the year of my life is going to be, which are based largely on many films watched during my a-levels. But before we get to that I need to tackle the minor issue of finding somewhere to live. Stay tuned to see if I end up homeless for the next 5 months...
