My absolute favourite experience so far has to be my trip to Paris. Liz and I spent a weekend in Lille and Paris, from February 3^rd-6^th, just as the “Big Freeze” hit France. I’ve been keeping a travel journal throughout my time here, so I have decided to copy up my thoughts on the City of Light and share it with everyone at thirdyearabroad.com.

So I’ve been terrible at blogging during my time in France. I don’t know what to put it down to really. There was a lot of work in the last few months and preparing for exams was pretty stressful. None of us had any idea how we were going to do or what the exams would be like. Luckily I’ve now got my marks back and am happy to say I passed everything fine. I have to say though; exams in France were pretty strange. The exam conditions were not strict at all which was something very new for me. The exams themselves  were a little strange, for example for one of my literature modules, despite studying more than one book, we only got one question, on one book. No choice at all. Luckily, I’d studied all the books really well so didn’t have a problem but am glad I didn’t use that tactic which I think is sometimes employed in England, where you hedge your bets and just study some of the texts well and not all of them.
