My name is Emma

Yes, I have been bad, a very bad blogger. I blame all the Uni. work and all the excitement of being here in Wales… and I forgot.

So trying to get back in the saddle again. What have I been up to since the last time? The short answer, a LOT! The longer version goes something like this…

The last couple of months I’ve had the most wonderful experience of studying abroad. I have taken three class modules, Special Educational Needs, Biological Psychology and British Culture. All three have been interesting, enjoyable and I have learned plenty. The Bio. Psych. was the hardest one for sure, all technical terms in English but I really liked it as well. A bit of a challenge that I excelled at.   The SEN-class has been the most meaningful for my degree. A great variety within the SEN spectrum, can’t wait until I can use all my new knowledge in real life. The British Culture class has been good too, it included two class trips, many discussions about all our cultures (we were all internationals) and a real insight in the British culture that have helped me lots during my time here.

Enough about school, other than uni and exams I have been doing loads of travelling. In order as follows: Llansteffan, Aberystwyth, The Gower and Swansea, Swansea again, Bath (England), Dinefwr, Cardiff, London (England), Llansteffan again, Cardiff again, St. David and the coast of Pembrokeshire, Snowdonia National Park (including Llanberis, Harlech and Nantcol), Llansteffan for the third time, Swansea for the third time, Tenby, Dublin (Ireland), Freshwater West, Stackpole quay (Bafundle Bay), Laugharne and Tenby again. To top it off I want to try to squeeze in one or two more trips in! I love it, so much fun.

Besides from the travelling I have been playing volleyball (fun times and a lot of bruises), tried climbing, having movie-nights and making dinner at friends houses, hanging out with the girls in the house, out to the movies, shopping, going to the pub/student union and more. Having a blast with all the wonderful and amazing new people that I have met here.

Time is passing by so quickly and four months here in Carmarthen, Wales is coming to an end. It is only one week left before it is time to go home. Such a weird feeling, sad to leave the fantastic people behind but excited to catch up with my family and good friends back home.

That is all for now. I will be back, soonish with pictures of this beautiful landscape.

Hugs, Emma
