Jemma Bourn is studying Russian and English Literature at The University of Edinburgh. She spent her year abroad in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she studied at a small language institute called The Benedict School. She chose St Petersburg because she fell in love with its colourful buildings and winding canals on a previous trip to Russia and wanted to experience life in a large, modern Russian city, but was slightly fearful of Moscow's enormous population (18 million!). Find out Jemma's tips on student accommodation, education, things to look out for and her top ten favourite finds...
So that was the point of this, huh?, BEAT THAT, jet setters of the easyjet kind and a bit of a sniffle
This is my last blog as a year abroad intern. In less than 2 weeks I will be done with work schedules, early wake-up calls and responsibilities and go back to being a regular library-avoider; or a student, as we are known in the vernacular. So, what do I do now? I’ve gotten used to the silly work schedules, my body just wakes up at those ungodly hours and I actually even kind of enjoy those pesky responsibilities… what has this year done to me?!? I took a quick poll of, well, my family and very close friends and the answer came back “you’re actually useful to the world now Ness” which, I’ll be honest, I didn’t realise I was signing up for.
