Daddy's girl
Seeing daddy again - Visitors from Germany Some days later, finally my Dad and his girlfriend arrived. I had already booked a hotel for them which was located right in the city centre. I have always been a "daddy's girl", so I was really excited about his visit. We've...

Life goes on - fortunately!
Getting back to life after the illness After my two weeks of illness I was so happy to feel better again that I started to eat more fruits and tried to cook fresh things. But the cooking problem kept being there, because in a shared kitchen with about 25 people there...

Please, let me die!
Motivation rising Even if it was still hard for me to follow the professors in their lectures, I really noticed that I improved a bit. Also, because I was spending the whole day communicating with my friend in French (yes, actually he wanted to improve his English but...

Daily Life
Starting to get used to French life After the first week which had really shocked me and told me that I don't speak as much French as I thought, I started the second week a bit more relaxed. The weekend with the other people was really nice and I felt great because I...

The Marketing Monster
Bad start for Marketing So, the other German girl and I were taking the Bus to the economics faculty. After 5 minutes we discovered that we were in the wrong bus - there were two which were circling around the city in 2 different directions. And we took the one which...

First week - please, end!
Asking for help - Improving my social skills After the first day it didn't improve so much during my first week at the new university. I didn't get to know anybody in the lectures (as I already explained, they were all quite "cool") and I was too tired to do anything...

First Day - Being lost And there it was - the first day of university in France. It felt like my very first day at university, even if I had already studied for 1, 5 years in Germany. So I took the Bus to the station that was written down in the internet as "station...

University chaos, help me!
Planning the courses So, after I received the (devastating) results of my language test Sunday morning (yes, they are working on weekends! ) I spent my whole free day trying to develop a schedule for the rest of the semester. As I usually have a fixed timetable at my...

Free weekend

Arrival Forms After I arrived at my new home there was not much time to relax on my first day. I had to get registered at the university. And as it was already Friday 1 p. m. I really had to hurry up. So, I tried to find my way to the correct office - the International...
