One semester in Madrid

Hola a todos! I am sorry, i didn t post anything last week because i was in exams…

This will be my last article as I already finished my last test yesterday. I would like to make a quick summary about my Erasmus experience in Spain.

When I arrived in Madrid I was excited but also very nervous. I had a lot of questions in my mind: how will I find a flat, make friends, understand lessons…

In the first month it was all about organization and installation. My first flat was good, but I didn’t like so much live with just one guy so after two weeks I moved into another one much more better and very well located! During the first classes it was hard to stay focused during 2 hours because of the language. But after a while I got used to listen to the teachers and really enjoyed all the lessons that I had. Very quickly I made a lot of friends, not only Spanish but from all part of the world: Mexico, Portugal, Germany, Poland,… 15723914_10211820979501834_847293537_n

In the following months I visited a lot of places and cities (Segovia, Zaragoza, Valencia, Escorial, Porto in Portugal). I also enjoyed parties and Erasmus events where I met a lot of people. And of course I got to know Madrid! It’s an amazing capital… Even in four months here it was not enough to discover it fully. 15682698_10211821008742565_1630120320_n

In the last month, I focused myself on studies. I changed my way to work and passed a lot of time in the library. Lessons in Spain are relatively simple but it’s not as easy as it looks for exams. Even if I had just six subjects it took me a lot to learn them.

The think that I liked the most was to meet people from everywhere. I already know that i will visit some of them in their country and that i will return in Madrid. I loved the fact that I was able to speak both in English and in Spanish. This was the most rewarding part of my trip. I improved my understanding and i m not shy anymore to speak in another language.

I am very sad to be obliged to come back so soon! I would like to have stayed here one semester more. But as all Erasmus people said we have to return to “real life” one day or another…15673567_10211820933140675_1241871492_n

Even if my courses in the university are over I will stay here until the beginning of lessons in France. I am going to pass Christmas and New Year with my friends and enjoy fully my last days in Madrid.

I hope that you have appreciated my posts! But above all I hope that they made you want to go to study abroad.

Good bye
