There's just no escaping one another

There's just no escaping one another

Here's the story about where it all began and how we got to where we are now.

A-level results day. A day of tears, tears and guess what? More tears. Little did I know that I'd become best friends with a fellow Modern Languages, Translation and Interpreting "rejectee". Look who's laughing now Newcastle. 

After finally coming to terms with the fact that I'd be going to Swansea, I realised I should probably try to get to know some people. I searched through so many Facebook pages and saw that someone had posted from Leeds, so it felt familiar and the mission to make a friend began. And lets face it, us northerners have got to stick together.

On the first day of uni I found my new best friend, but at this point she didn't even know we were friends. I pretty much hunted her down and said "you're the girl from Leeds, right?" Next thing you know we're in Wilkos, she's forgotten her card and I'm buying a  hoover. From there on, we're bound to the hoover, our binding contract of friendship (which we happened to break and leave behind in second year, but that's a story for another day). 

So here we are two years later...Rebeka and Annie, forever bonding over cups of tea and beginning our year abroad together in Spain. Max and Paddy on the road to nowhere take two.

It’s not you, it’s the requirements of my degree

You may be wondering why you haven’t heard from us for a while. That’s because we’ve broken up, moved out and moved on. In other words, we’ve moved on to our second semester abroad! From now on, you’ll be getting separate blog posts about different experiences in different places, but don’t worry, it’s not all change. There’ll still be a fair amount of bad puns, sarcasm and general complaining about the challenges and embarrassing situations we’ll most certainly encounter. My second semester will be spent studying in Forli, Italy. I’ve been living in Forli for almost a week now, and the university transition has been much smoother than when I moved to Granada. This could be because I’d done it all before, expecting things to go wrong and be difficult to manage, especially given my low level of Italian, but I think it’s due to how incredibly organised and helpful the university have been thus far. Once we’d chosen our modules, it was very easy to find out where and when ...

A virtual tour of Forlì

Image
It’s certainly been a while since I last wrote on the blog! In reality, this is due to the mountains of work I have been receiving from every class, as well as extra reading and vocab revision, and being exhausted every day from all the concentration it takes to speak Italian. But you don’t want to hear about that! Today I thought I’d take you on a short ‘virtual’ journey around Forl ì - because let’s be honest, you could probably see it all in a day so it’ll be quicker to just read this post and steal my photos. Although it’s one of the smaller cities in Emilia Romagna, and you’re probably more tempted to visit Bologna, Cesena, Rimini, or literally any other city that the region has to offer, I really enjoy the small-town feel of Forli. To give you an idea, I live 3 minutes’ walk from the beautiful main square, 7 minutes’ walk from the university (speaking from experience, it IS possible to set off at 9:05 and arrive with enough time to grab a coffee from the machine) and only ...

For all you foodies out there

Food glorious food Where to go to satisfy all your needs Although we're in Spain and you probably all think we eat paella 24/7, we don't. We're human and can't survive off a tomato based diet for 4 months, so here's a guide for people who are driven by their stomachs... In the centre Sibarius - Although appearing very upmarket upon first glance, this Japanese restaurant is surprisingly affordable, and incredibly delicious. They have a selection of salads, meats, fish and a sushi menu after 8pm which is well worth the wait. You can tell all their ingredients are fresh and well prepared, and they're accommodating to English speakers and fussy eaters alike. We recommend the goats cheese and mango starter, it's amazing! Alhambra café - One word. Churros. For the ultimate churros experience, we wholeheartedly recommend this cafe. The hot chocolate is to die for! It's located in the central Plaza Bib-Rambla, just round the corner from the cathed...
