So this week has been my worst week so far in France and its all thanks to the administrative system at Strasbourg University. On Thursday, I was meant to have an exam at 11:30 am but I missed it and I was absolutely fuming, and here is why. The reason why I missed the exam […]

This coming Monday, I will be sitting my first exam and I am not ready. In Leicester, we have the month of April off to prepare for our exams in May/June but in Strasbourg they give you one week off in the middle of exams before proceeding with more exams. So the week of 11th […]

Eating healthy has always been easy for me, at least when I live in England. But now it seems like the hardest thing in the world. Right now as I’m writing this, I’m sitting with a tub of Haagen-Dazs Salted Caramel Ice cream, my favourite flavour, a flavour that is not available in the UK. […]

This month I have found myself under increasing pressure by the University of Strasbourg, deadlines breathing down my throat, exams that I am not ready for and books that I can barely understand. And I have to say that I am thoroughly enjoying the pressure, I feel like I’m back in Leicester. There is a […]

This week I’ve faced a lot of disappointments, whether it’s from people, or my own performance or life in general and I realise that I’m not the only one who faces disappointments. Even though it is easy to think so because when something bad happens, we tend to dwell on it and think that we […]

In honour of Facebook’s friendship day, I thought that I’d write a blog post about the friends that I’ve made during my Erasmus. So far I’ve been blessed with amazing friends. Before I came on my Erasmus, one of the things that I was afraid of is that I might not make new friends, and […]

It is the beginning of a new semester and I have a new found outlook on Strasbourg. Last semester I felt that I was adjusting to a new place and getting to know the city and its people. Whereas this semester, I feel like I know Strasbourg and the people, and I am ready to […]

Although there are a lot of things that need to be improved in my home town, there is so much more that I love and would not change about Freetown. For one, the weather. I love the Freetown sun, during my two weeks there, the lowest temperature it was 26 degrees Celsius and the highest […]

I spent my two weeks Christmas holiday with my family in Freetown, Sierra Leone. I was born in Sierra Leone but I have not visited my home country since 2011 so I was looking forward to going back. Freetown is the freest place that I have ever been to. It is one of the most […]
