We're progressing ...

It's been a while since I last posted anything here but I've been quite busy with all paperwork and getting excited about moving to Spain for the year.

So, just to put everyone up to date, the application is finally here. Now all I have to do is complete it and send it in to my Programme Officer... but there is one problem, one BIG problem!! Everyone (well, nearly everyone) wants to go to Valencia. The official info is as follows:

Valencia has 4 places, 8 want to go there
Salamanca is the same
Granda has 4 places and 4 people want to go there (which makes everything much easier)
...and Madrid! well... Madrid; there are 9 places there and ... 2 people want to go there

Yes, one BIG problem!

It wouldn't be so big but I, like the majority of my class, do NOT want to end up in Madrid. It's just so big and not Erasmus friendly and ..well, big! And i have this feeling that everyone will fall out with eachother just because we won't be able to work out who is going where. (Let's hope that's not the case) This thursday (2nd of February) we are all gonna meet up in a room to (hopefully) sort everything out, that is : to decide who is going where. I really have a bad feeling about this.

If this does not work out, we will have to let the Programme Officer decide for us, or even worse, pick our places out of a hat (which in fact happened in 2011 because everyone, and I mean everyone wanted to go to Valencia .. imagine, 24 people fighting over 4 places in Valencia.. That must've been real fun!) The final date for submiting the form is the 13th of  February so that gives us enough time to sort it all out and on the 17th we will get our results.

Please please please God let me get Valencia!  :D
