Life in London: final goodbye

on 19 June 20174 October 2017 By Manisha 2 Comments

Last week I flew back to my all-time favourite city to write my final exam. Since my semester already ended at the end of March and my last exam was planned 2 months later, I decided to go home in between. The exam was for my Labour law course, a quite interesting one since both UK and EU law were discussed and a lot of recent developments have taken place in this area. I had plenty of time to mentally prepare myself for it and when exam day finally arrived, I felt totally ready for it. After the 2.15 hours of intense writing, I was finished and felt relieved. From that moment on, it was time to enjoy my remaining days in the city to the max!

My Erasmus-exchange experience

Wow. It’s still hard to believe those 3 months in London passed by so quickly, but it feels good to be back in Holland again. The moment I arrived home Sunday night and entered my room, everything felt a bit unfamiliar to me. I was so used to my room in London that I really needed to adapt my mind-set. Also, the fact that I lived in a buzzing world city abroad and in a quite peaceful village at home was a striking difference. I have to accept the fact that I won’t be able to see world-famous sights every day anymore and the possibilities are a bit more limited here. However, focusing on the advantages helps overcoming all this: my family and friends are the number 1 reason why I will always return to Holland with a smile. I can’t wait to spend quality time again with all my loved ones.

Life in London: the countdown begins…

It feels like I just moved in a couple of weeks ago, but in fact: my exchange has almost ended! This week the last lectures will be held and after that the long study break starts here. Since only one of my modules is examined by an exam, which is planned at the end of May, I’ve decided to go back home in the period after the semester ends. I’m planning on applying for an internship or finding a part-time job in the next couple of months. Besides that, my cousin is getting married soon: this is a is special occasion I definitely don’t want to miss.

Since my lectures are only on Wednesday and Thursday this week, I’ve got plenty of time to make the most out of my remaining days. What I’ve planned for the last couple of days: an afternoon tea, a daytrip to Cambridge, shopping sessions to buy presents for my family/friends and hanging out with friends. The end is near, but I’m eager to make my last days in London memorable ones!
