Valencia, here I come!

It's officiaaaaaaal!

Me is going to Valencia, to Valencia...  *insert happy dance here*
It isn't that much of a surprise but nothing was 100% sure until now so I was still nervous.  Here is the list:






















 











Now, believe it or not, the worst part is coming! Send application form to Valencia, send details, photos and so on .. plus I've heard that the registration for subjects is very fun (notice the sarcasm...) Since my major is business, I need to take 50% of my modules based on this but the other 50% can be from any other part of the university... I'm still deciding if that is a good thing or not.

Next Erasmus meeting is on the 27th of March and we are gonna get more information about the subjects we are allowed to study in Valencia and the one we have to do in Ireland (yes, we have to do an online module for UCD as well, which will probably only be about our year abroad and how we are integrating in the culture: "Dear lecturer, my Erasmus year abroad is much more difficult that I expected... I can't keep up anymore with the partying, my 8 hours a week, the 5-day weekends and so on ... " Hahaha!)

Now that this step is done, on to the next one: finding a second job! :D 
Anyway, no more boring stuff ... all I wanted to do was share the big, happy news!!

Adios amigos :)

It's official.. kind of..

I'm going to Valenciiiiaaa and I'm really really, oh did I mention, reaaaally happy? 

Me and my classmates met up during our one hour break on thursday and decided everything out. To be honest it all started well and people seemed to be getting where they wanted to go but eventually we got to a dead end. From then on the hell broke loose. We spent about one hour trying to change places, trying to convince people to go to Madrid, trying different combinations but nobody seemed to give up their place which, in all fairness, is understandable... I did the same. Eventually, the only guy that had Valencia as his first choice decided to give it up, this way all the people who really wanted to go there got their place.

I must say I was very impressed with him because if he wouldn't have changed his mind I really don't know where we would be right now. I'm pretty sure he wasn't too happy having to change and go to Madrid but ...

Now, 9/11 guys are going to Madrid and all the girls are spread out between Salamanca, Valencia and Granada. I bet there's going to be some crazy time for them!

After class me and my favourite German went to the apartment to look for some places to rent in Valencia, just to have some idea of the prices, location and so on ... I must say I wasn't excited at all. Interesting huh? I know!! .. Considering I was kinda desperate (ok ok, "kinda" is an understatement) to end up in Valencia one would think I'd be more happy... Well, that wasn't the case.. I have to agree with someone who said I stress too much and I worry too much about others...in the back of my head I was still thinking about the people who had to change their mind just so others could get what they wanted. But do not fear my friends, excitment will sink in starting 17th February, and it will be so bad that Anna and Laura will probably have to tape my month to make me shut up about it :) (and no, I'm not giving you any ideas girls, thankyouverymuch)

PS: I said kind of official because until the 17th February we aren't going to know for sure which city we're going to end up in but unless someone changes their mind or doesn't do how we agreed, we should all be fine. And I really hope that's not the case because then we will all suffer and it wouldn't be fair.

Adios amigos!(until the 17th most probably)
