Erasmus Year - Part 5

Erasmus Year - Part 5

So I read Crime and Punishment and waited for Katie (another student from Leicester who lives in the same building as me) to wake up so I can use her laptop to book a flight home. Thanks to Katie I booked my flight for the following day and spent the rest of the day packing and preparing for my trip. I also took this opportunity to take back all my Indigenous Peoples stuff back.

I also made a phone call to the said acquaintance and she told me that she had indeed kept the file in her ‘Nathan Folder’. At this point on she was my saviour lol.

I arrived at Stansted and made my way back to Barnsley. I arrived in Wakefield and was greeted by my mum and grandparents and spent the next few days home. I left home a few days earlier than my flight and saw this acquaintance for a great reunion. I really missed our time together and it was good to talk face-to-face, rather than Skype-to-Skype.

I returned back to Denmark for a day because I had a lecture and then came back to England for the second time in two weeks. This second flight and visit back home and to Manchester was arranged weeks before and it was good to see everyone again. This time I brought their gifts from Russia.

I then came back to Denmark to finish the semester after an eventful two weeks and continued with the Law of the Sea essay. After a week and a half of writing it was done! The tutor told us we were allowed an additional 10% for the word count and as such I left my essay at 4700 words.

There was some confusion as to how we submitted our essays, as it was not stated on the instruction sheet. The tutor was new to the University of Copenhagen so was also unsure. After finding no answers, I decided to visit the Education Services office in order to find an answer. To their surprise the course was not registered for examination and so could not give me an answer straight away. Then after a day or two they sent out an email telling us that we can hand it in to that office and also that the maximum character count was 23,000 characters.

This caused me some difficulty as these new rules changed our instructions as to how long the essay could be. After sending a few emails to show my grievances (which I forwarded to the University of Leicester’s International Office – as yet no reply from them) I reluctantly cut the essay down and submitted it today.

Two modules down, one to go for this semester. I have my Human Rights in the EU oral exam in less than two weeks time so I better get a move on with revision…
