Dear my old and new blog readers,
If you were a former reader of my blog, you might recognized a change in the blog's url name and title, it is because I didn't want to start a new blog for my new studying abroud in the EU experience, which will start very soon in less than 2 weeks. As you might know I've been studying for one semester at Vives Hogeschool in Kortrijk, Belgium. This time I'll go with another type of scholarship, it's called the Velux program, it is similar to Erasmus, but also very different, you will hear about it later on. The destination is Kolding in Denmark, a similar, small city like Kortrijk in Belgium as far as I know, but there is a lot to explore since I'm not there yet!
You might also know as a former reader or from looking back on the blog I made a post everyday from Belgium, it will change this time, because you could see the quality of the posts were really different... I would rather post only a few times a week, but make some colourful and storytelling posts what will make it more enjoyable to read and to feel the experiences I had.
Coca Cola says it's the happiest country in the world, so I must go there!
For sure, it wasn't my motivation to go there till I found this picture right a moment ago... :D
Anyway, get back to the topic, as I mentioned before it is a similar scholarship to Erasmus, but also different, let's see what are these... At least let's see the one's I could know before the arrival. First of all, it had a longer process to get the scholarship, there was a little more paperwork, they were interested in many things, not only in our motivation, school performance and so, but also our bacgkround and family status. After all that they made a personal interview too, and one of their profesor came to Hungary just for that, so you can see from that how important thing is it for them. A little time passed by and we got know the results, then we got an invitaion for a virtual conference with our coordinators from Denmark to gave us some information and we also had the chance to get know eachother, moreover they invite us to join some Facebook groups for the former, actual and upcoming students. Most of the students come from Central or Eastern Europe countries, since the scholarship is advertised especially for them, and of course, I won't hide it, one of my colleuges is coming too! =)
Last Friday we finally got know how we will be split in the apartments, there won't be any single rooms, so yeah a new chellange for me is having a roommate! However it isn't that new after the summer spent in a US camp, but still a different situation! So, I will have a Romanian boy as a roommate. No, it is not a problem at all, you know me, right? I have a Romanian girl as my best friend from the Erasmus time, remember? Yeah, that's right! So I can just wish the bests and hopefully we will enjoy eachother's company for the time we have to spend together. :)
Just 12 days and we will start our journey...
