Uni's life in Swansea


Oh dear!
I'm in Swansea since what ? one month and a half? I'm already missing my friends! I know it's a great experience and all but still...
Now, the uni in the United Kingdom is quite strange or let's say different from France!
Here you can CHOOSE which module you're going to take, which in France you don't have the choice AT ALL! lol
Here, also, when you miss a class, there is no big deal, back in France when you miss one single class, the lecturer will make a big fuss out of it if you pop up and say "I did not wake up".
Talking about it, just the fact that arriving late at a lecture would piss off a lecturer, but here, you don't even have to ask whether you can 'enter' or not, you just come and sit. A simple 'sorry mate' to the lecturer and it's fine!
Now do this in France... you're in big troubles lol
"mate" ... "mate"... this is quite unreal for me.. I'm used to called my lecturer Mr ... Mme ... and so on..

Now, the best part of it.. 8 HOURS PER WEEK !!!!!!! I love this bit !
last year I had, roughly, 38 hours per week.. + the assignments and all..
Yeah, that's really the best part of it! even though now, I have a dissertation to submit.. well I have to get started first I guess :p


But anyway, 8 hours per week leaves you quite a lot of time to... work ? nah! ... PARTYYYYY lol =)


Anyway, I'll to keep you updated about what's going on over here.. I'll try ma best I sweat
Love ya'll! xx
