Hi everyone after
a long break. I didn’t write much because last year I was in Belgium, I was
studying there thanks to the Erasmus programme from my University. I must admit
that I spent a great time there so today I would like to tell you more about
this opportunity, yes, it’s a huge opportunity for everyone who are studying !
At the beginning
I didn’t know if I want to go abroad or no, I was a bit afraid and scared of
living in a different country but finally I decided that if not now then
probably never, so I packed my stuff, bought flight ticket to Belgium and that’s
how my journey started ! I lived in a small ( ok, Beligum is not huge so
it’s a relative concept) city called Liege. The first day was terrible, I was
dissapointed, the city was ugly, I couldn’t find a place to eat something, and
I was really, really hungry so you can imagine how I felt. Trying to think positive
I started to repeat to myself ‘it’s ok, you can do this, it’s only 6
months, time flies fast’. The next day I
woke up and I saw a beautiful weather outside, I lived next to the river so I
really liked this view from the very beginning. I went to the university with
my friend, ahhh because I forgot to mention, I went there with my friend from Poland,
we were studying together and decided to go together to Liege. So the
first days we discovered places, where to do shopping, were to go to eat
something etc. The university
already started so we had to attend our classes. For me it was hard because my
level of french wasn’t that high as I would like it to be so I had difficulties
to understand what is going on during the course. It was hard but at the same
time I had motivation to learn it.
Me and my friend, Ania, we wanted to meet some new people,
we were alone there so we wanted to have someone to go out with and show us the
city. Ania found on Facebook an
event called ‘Language Exchange’ she told me about it and she was very excited,
she said we have to go there. To be honest, I was tired and didn’t want to go there
because it was during the evening, it was cold and far, I was lazy but she
convinced me and that’s how I met my friends with whom till the end of our
semester we were going out, talking a lot, and having a great time together !
But I will tell you about them in the next post ;)
