Uni starts on Monday, what a long time a year makes as this time last year classes were just starting in Salamanca. Anyway I have picked the following modules, for Spanish; Applied Spanish Language III, La Mujer, Translation, Applied Critique of Translation, and one more I forgot and for Tesol I have, the TESOL Special Project (kind of like a dissertation), Teaching English for Specific purposes and language and power.
Finally the dreaded oral dossier is over too! Thursday morning the day of doom arrived, I was elected to go first and was kind of glad I did as I didn't have time to worry about when other people were doing theres. but anyway it went really well. Only made one mistake but quickly corrected myself and It wasn't a Spanish mistake it was a mistake on one of ym facts but anyway, the observer also was laughing at various points so it could be looking rosey! Fingers crossed.
I have been doing nothing apart from the dossier since I got back but I feel glad now as I know I worked quite hard and now I can relax until Monday when lessons begin.
After the presentations a few of us went for a drink and then went to see a spanish film that the Uni put on to welcome all the Spanish students (considering the majority of foreign exchange students seem to be Spanish) afterwards there was a drinks reception in order for final year students to mix with the exchange students (will be good for the correction of other others work!) We got talking (Tom and I) to a massive group of Spaniards and arranged to go to the Cavern Club at night, (the famous place the Beatles always used to play at, I have never been in two years since being in Liverpool!) And it was awesome, there was a Beatles tribute band, and once everything finished at 2AM the Spanish had a botellón back at one of the flats, I think I met more Spaniards last night than what I did in a year in Salamanca....la vida erasmus continúa...

De vuelta a Liverpool...
Bordel de merde! I'm back in Liverpool after two amazing weeks with the amazing Emilieeee (t'as la chiasse chérie?) They passed too quickly which I guess doesn't require me to say how much of a good time I had, I will put some photos on when I get round to sorting them out.
7 days to go until my oral dossier, I've done it now and it's just a case of tying lose ends up and learning it, this time next week it will be all done! Praise the lord!
Charlie arrived on Monday and I now know I made the right choice in coming to live with her, (don't want to say too much as she'll read this and get a big head..) but we are finding out we have more and more things in common so all is good. her japanese boyfriend Yuji is staying at the moment and I feel a bit bad as I speak really fast and with a hard accent and sometimes I forgot he is not English and just rant and mumble, but hey, c'est la vie.
This is going to short and sweet as I need to get back to work...
