To recap on all the events and extras I've took on over the past few weeks, I will start with the most exciting!
ERASMUS!! :D - After enquiring about a student exchange/ study abroad programme from last year. Our college eventually has an 'Erasmus status'. This is very exciting news!!! Last year I contacted Stirling university to enquire about their study abroad programme and they came back to me with all the information I needed. After spending hours of research trying to find the most appropriate course suited to me, I got back in touch with the adviser. The news wasn't so good - with my current course validated by the university, I thought I would be considered. Anyhow the first knock back was that the deadline had passed for the study abroad programme which meant I could only undertake an internship. I accepted this as it would still be a great opportunity and went ahead to find a suitable company to work for. After transferring details to the university for application, I receive a devastating email that said I was not eligable for the programme. This was because my current course does not have direct entry onto the Honours course - or something along the lines of that anyway...
After forgetting about this for a few weeks, I decided I wanted to still have this opportunity and felt as though it was unfair that it couldn't be offered to me. With help for my aunty, we both put together a letter and sent it to the Erasmus company directly. After redirecting me back to the Stirling uni, I recieved an email back from my lecturer saying that our college has been discussing the Erasmus status. After the summer holidays, I investigated this and eventually got put in touch with Erasmus coordinator. I soon learned that the college was willing to help my through the process of applying to study abroad! I was very shocked to hear the good news but very excited!! After all my research on finding a suitable course I decided to apply to study in China, Germany and Demark!
So now a good few weeks after the application was sent. I am impatiently waiting to receive either good or bad news. I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hope it's GOOD news!
