Student Blog: Helen – “And so it ends”

So here we are, a week after I came back from Tübingen and I’ve only just mustered up the energy to write this post. In all seriousness, coming home has definitely been the hardest part of being abroad; not exams, not going there – leaving. I don’t want to focus too much on the negatives,… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “And so it ends”

Student Blog: Helen – “Expect the unexpected”

As the days start to get shorter again (??) it’s still roasting temperature in Tübingen; last week it got to 34 degrees. And, if you’re wondering why I’m still abroad, semester continues til the end of July here (and yes, I am jealous that you have already finished your exams). If I had a word… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “Expect the unexpected”

Student Blog: Helen – “Spring in Tübingen & weekend break”

So– it’s been a while. My last post got lost in the computer system, which is why there’s been a break. However, I am evidently back again to tell you about the *cough* interesting weather we’ve had, and about the weekend trip I took to Berlin (and probably some other things too). Within the past… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “Spring in Tübingen & weekend break”

Student Blog: Helen – “Goodbyes are the worst (why you should go abroad for a year)”

So, it’s been around a month since my last post; exams finished around two weeks ago (thankfully) and all the results I’ve got back so far have been good (this will change with the typology course, rest assured). Once exams had finished I spent a week in Tübingen with friends, meeting up, relaxing and trying to… Continue Reading Student Blog: Helen – “Goodbyes are the worst (why you should go abroad for a year)”

Student blog: Helen – “Winter in Tübingen (and how beautiful it is)”

A very late happy new year from Germany! I thought I’d do a bit of a catch-up post from the frosty land of Tübingen, before I properly put my head down to revise for the second lot of exams (how exciting), and the topic today is how *enter exclamative here* cold it is here. I’m… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Winter in Tübingen (and how beautiful it is)”

Student blog: Helen – “Term differences and holiday plans”

Life definitely gets busy around this time of year (hence my lack of posts), and unfortunately it’s not just due to thinking about Christmas. Unlike last year at Lancaster, I haven’t got coursework as such to work on (though I did have a 30 minute individual presentation, *gulp*), rather I’ve just had one exam and… Continue Reading Student blog: Helen – “Term differences and holiday plans”
