Asako's Adventures...

    Finally, my school started this month! I’m so excited for my new year now. I’m doing mathematics, chemistry and biology as A level subjects, sometimes it’s hard for me because I’m learning something I’ve never done and also I still need to practice my English. It’s tougher than last year, but I’m really motivated…

I still remember I arrived in Ireland on the sixth of January,2017, at half six in the morning. My first impression of this country is that this is a peace and quiet place. A small beautiful airport, few people walking around, slightly raining. I held my suitcases and kept walking, my host mum was waiting…

Victoria pic 1
This is a blog without many tempting and appealing photographs as I didn’t really do many things or go anywhere apart from studying for my mock exams. January is quite a busy month, everyone is talking about the mock, study and stress all the time. My life this month is pretty much the same everyday:…

Tears of joy! Victoria gets some great news...

This is an especially special month for me. First of all, I had a great midterm break, without a single bit study after the mock, so I feel fresh and ready now. The school is still as entertaining and as busy as usual, especially after the mock. I had a full two-day French oral revision…

An emotional departure for Victoria

  This is a quite complicated month for me. It’s almost all about study and pressure. My leaving cert exams started on the Wednesday, June 5th. The first exam was English paper 1. It went quite well. The paper wasn’t too hard, and I finished it on time. English paper 2 was difficult, however, I’m…

Today I complete 1 month since I arrived in Brighton, it went so fast I didn’t even realised it! On my last day in Brazil I was terrified of leaving my comfort zone, and now I realised it was the best thing I ever did. When I arrived in England I met another exchange student…

Sofia Tastes a New Kind of Life

Brighton Sunset
It’s already November! Time has passed so quickly that I didn’t even realise it. Around a month ago I met my student advisor in a cafe to talk. She helped me figure out what was bothering me and find the best solution. She helped me find another family that fits more with the kind of…

Local partnership: There are so many Study Abroad…

The first month of the best year of my life

LumaPhoto3
I don’t thing that it has hit me that I have been in England for more than a month now. It feels like I’ve been here for way longer. I have done so much, met so many people that it feels like a whole life to me. Time flies and I’m trying to enjoy every…
