More than a week has passed since my last blogpost and honestly time has gone by so fast. My classes are FINALLY sorted. I'm taking a course on Romanticism and one on Victorian Imperialism, which are both subjects I am already acquainted with. However, I'm just glad we could get our hands on some English modules and so far the seminars and lectures have been really nice - everyone participates so well here it's miles away from the situation at home where the lecturer sometimes has to use persistent staring tactics to get students to speak up in class.
So yeah, really nice to have that sorted, and I'm back to reading again. However, boring everyone by discussing my classes wasn't my intention for this blogpost. As I took a look on Facebook and saw that a lot of my Erasmus colleagues were uploading a lot of photos of their new home and adventures, I thought it would be nice to share some pictures of Exeter as well. I've been kind off slacking off when it comes to taking pictures, because it just feels a bit strange - like taking pictures of Nijmegen or its university, what's the point of that? However, it might be nice to have at least some pictures to look back on, so I will try to make a conscious effort to take more pictures.
We went to the park to read a while back, and it's a really nice spot.
We also went on an evening stroll to the quay area, which was rather lovely - ignoring the fact that there were about 5000 bridges that I dreaded passing.
Then I also made some pictures of the campus, but they really don't do it any justice. I mean, the fact that it's built on a hill is really annoying, but it makes for some nice views.
This is only a really small part of campus, but it's the part with the best views, and also the place were we will spend most of our time as students of English.
I made an effort with the first two pictures, the rest were made with my phone so please bear with me - I'll try to bring my camera more often - even if it makes me kinda look like an idiot.
