Studying Abroad

I met my friend who is the second year student at this university just now, and heard that he passed the exams for studying abroad(that is why I was late for this class for 1 minute? or more? anyway, I was too excited to hear the bell ring) You know, we do not have only a year to decide whether we will study abroad or not, and if we do, which countries and courses are on our lists.


I really want to study in U.K.! I have some friends from England and Wales, and they gave me lot of good impressions on my thought about their country. I never felt like visiting U.K. before I met them because I had no good image about it...like raining all the time and people are snobby, but now I think the way they live is great. They are proud of their countries and cultures and preserve them, and at the same time, they try to adapt new ideas. Maybe I just made up really good image about this country through the friendship with them, but anyway, I will go there this March, so I hope I can see a little more what this country is like.


Also, I think this is the time for me to be serious about it and my future. I do not like to be serious about everything(it must be impossible for me though) and those who are always too serious(so annoying), but you know, being always laid-back is also a problem. I have just done homework and passed tests, but now I need to think by myself and make some actions based on that. Oh it took so long time(almost 8 months since I became a student here!) to realize that and get really motivated about it.


Most of you have checked this page before, but I put this link. You can get some information about studying abroad programs here.


I got the picture of English flag here, and that of Wales at this website.
