The expected start

Although I have been here for about one month, this week is the most important one. The university starts. Actually, I should have started yesterday but, fortunately, Monday is my day off so today, at 15.00 my 3rd year at Solent University starts officially.

I came here on Wednesday, 1st and I have been attended to English Classes at Lewis School (http://www.lewis-school.co.uk/), near my University. I could learn lots of things, and what´s most important,  I had the opportunity to review the English which I had abandoned since the end of second year of Journalism.

After having finishing these two weeks, I fully intruded in the university: "Freshers´ week" ( the term that UK universities and colleges give to the period immediately before beginning of a new academic year. Its purpose is to give new students a chance to meet their housemates, make new friends and sort out administration tasks, http://www.freshers-week.com/). And so did I. We were talking to our Erasmus coordinator who explained to us everything we has to know about the university and Southampton in general. It was a week plenty of meeting to establish our Learning Agreement,enrol and register in the university, get our student card and inform on the activities and sports offered by Solent. All this followed by a myriad of parties. 

Although it was a good opportunity to meet new friends and I have already made some in Lewis School and I could travel with them during my first two weeks. We went to London and Bournemouth ( I will upload some photos for you to see how well we had there)

Now I have to go. I need to meet my coordinator again because I have to finish my Learning Agreement and send it to my home university. Afterwards, I will be attended to my first class: Newspaper, Magazines and online Journalism. Wish me luck! xoxo
