The following post was a random collection of all my thoughts on my return from the first part of my Year Abroad. It had been a very long, tiring and stressful day, and things were about to get a whole lot more stressful...Published in Becky's Augsburg-Moscow BlogTags -
T minus 3 days until take off… Literally! My flight leaves the UK at 11am Monday morning and it’s all starting to hit home that this time Monday night I’ll be in my empty, probably half-painted apartment, frantically trying to revise the basics of German grammar for my Einstufungstest (placement test) the following morning. The past week has meant many frantic e-mails (the last of which I’ve just finished writing!) to ensure that I can get into my apartment on Monday, despite it being a bank holiday, that I know exactly what’s going on when I arrive in Munich and how on Earth I’m going to live on Monday night until I can get to a Supermarket on the Tuesday!Published in Becky's Augsburg-Moscow BlogTags -
37 days sounds like a lot of time, doesn’t it? Especially when you reflect just how long has gone into planning this whole year. Put into perspective, 37 days is just under half the amount of time I’ll be spending in Moscow next Spring. Yet, no matter how I try and justify it to myself, 37 days feels like barely anything.
For the next 37 days until I go, I’m going to try and fill you in on my rollercoaster several months of preparation, exactly what has gone wrong and how I’ve managed to sort things and get everything back on track. For my first post, let me take you back to the very beginning: how I decided where I was going to spend 7 months of my life.

Hello from Deutschland! I actually can’t believe I’m here and have 5 minutes free to write this post. I’ve been so busy ever since I left Stafford a week ago and, to be honest, I haven’t looked back! I’ve had so much to keep my mind off of missing home that up 'til now, I hadn’t really thought much about it. I’ll run through some of the things I’ve been through so far, including a fair few things I didn’t actually know about until I got here.

It’s starting to get closer now. This time in four weeks I’ll hopefully be talking to you all from my flat which I’ll be starting to make my home for the next four months. I decided a while back that with four weeks to go, I’d finally start getting my bum into gear and getting down to the nitty gritty. I don’t think I’ve ever been as organised in my entire life as I have been these past three days! I’ve also learnt a lot this past week. I think it just goes to show that really, you can say you know it all but you never really do.Published in Becky's Augsburg-Moscow BlogTags
