First Year at University

This week was the final week of my first year at university and I couldn't be happier. This whole experience has changed my life and has made me grow in person (and responsabilities).

I have to go back in the next two weeks to do an English presentation and a final test and then, hopefully, I can stop worrying about everything for 3 or 4 months.

(It's a lie, spent a lot of money in books - source)

One of the beautiful things about university is that you make a lot of friends from different cities and you get to share with each other traditional aspects - even your accent causes excitement! I'm happy to have shared this experience with the new friends I have made and I hope we share the same classes next year for new shenanigans.

I also feel like I have learned a lot more this year than in any of my previous years in school. Maybe that's because I am finally in the course I want, studying the subjects I want; that must have a big impact in your attention and reception of information. Plus the fact that the teachers are so laid back and they treat you as an adult, rather than a child.

I'm actually looking forward to the second year! I am guessing it will be as good or even better than this one because now I have seen what it is like and I will be prepared for new challenges.

You can read more about my university here, when I got my acceptance letter, and here, about my first semester :)

Happy Sunday! x

Helping a Friend

Today I went out with two of my closest friends to help one of them with her uni project. Well, to be fair, I didn't help much. I was only there for mental support. She's doing a project about one of the many churchs we have here in our city and she needed someone to film entering the church, praying and all that stuff. I just watched whilst our other friend was bossed around (and I kind of made her giggle during a shoot, oops!).
While that was happening, I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of said church to post here! I'll be honest, churchs creep me out a little bit... but at the same time I find them really interesting and, sometimes, even pretty.

When she got all the shots she needed, we headed off to McDonalds, as we normally do. That seems to be our regular spot (fatties).

In-between those two places, I took a sneaky photo of a view to Tróia (behind the massive boats), a really lovely place I wish I could go to more often. A good amount of tourists spend their holidays there.

I will try to take more pictures next time! x
