Erasmus is a European wide scheme that enables students and teachers to travel and study or work in a different institute in Europe.
Erasmus was also a philosopher of some kind, but as I am a terrible student I haven't researched into what he did or why the scheme was named after him. But never mind that.
Erasmus is the reason I can live my teen-hood dream of studying abroad.
From September I'll be leaving everything and everyone behind to undergo the biggest adventure of my life so far. I felt that first year of university was h-u-g-e, but this is an entirely different level!
So. I'm off to Leipzig, East Germany to study English (a concept a lot of people find hilarious, but I just can't see the funny side!)
Scary? Exciting? A Bloomability? All of the above. With added... psssh. (That is what my brain has turned into. Psssh.)
Hopefully this blog will be the place where I record some of the antics and shenanigans that occur over the next nine months. Ha. I've started a blog before, and that didn't go so well. But never mind - this is my alternative to writing a diary. As much as I fancy the idea of stormy evenings (why stormy?) sat at a desk dipping my quill into deep indigo ink, scrawling the days events down in my sloppy script, I know that I am far too lazy for that. Hell, I'm nearly too lazy to blog, but never mind that...
So if you read this and enjoy it, then I am glad! If you read this and feel inspired to go on your own adventure, I would be thrilled! I'll try to be funny (ish), but no guarantees!
- Rae
