Still waiting

I have nothing in my mind but getting an ERASMUS scholarship and leaving this country for a year. It has nothing to do with my country itself. Actually, I find Spain a great place to live.

I reckon it would give me some time to free my mind and think about my future without any pressure. As those 3 weeks in Malta helped me to decide what to do after finishing my project. In fact, I would never have thought about going abroad for studying an entire year if I hadn’t gone there.

But, for that, I need to wait until the 27th of the current month, the day in which we’ll choose our destinations at EPSIG. At this moment, I’m likely to go to Bologna since there are two grants for that place and I got the second best mark in Italian (among the Computer Engineer students, that is what matters me).

Nevertheless, my goal is to go to Sweden. It won’t be easy, since I’m the fifth in English and my options depend on what the people who choose before me decide to do.

I haven’t written anything about the interviews yet. I scored a 2.5 in Italian and a 2.51 in English (out of 4). I’m sure there’s an error in the English one, since it’s a really weird score and I got the exactly same number in the exam, but I don’t bother.

They were really funny. In the Italian one, I had to talk in that language for the first time in my live! It was hard to understand what that guy was asking me and it was even harder to answer his questions. But, at least I managed to tell him that I’d like to go to Bologna and to explain that it was the only option I had to do the last year of my studies in Italy.

The English one was a bit strange. The teacher was convinced that I’d like to go to Sweden in order to drink alcohol (it was after telling him that I had been in Malta last summer xD). And the way it ended was even odder. I can’t remember how I managed to alter the course of the conversation to finish talking about blinds and curtains and how I spend a whole summer sleeping without using them. I believe it had to do with the fact that during the Summer, in Luleå, the sun rise at 3 a.m.

Well, I’ll have to wait only two more weeks to know wheter I’ll be studying at Gijón next year or thousand of km further. I hope to be as lucky as my friend V.K. was. Good luck in Dublin!!

P.D: 41 days and we are still waiting. Some teachers deserve… I don’t know what, but nothing good.
