I do not know where to start so there is much to say ... Every week I'm surprised because I discovered that way is really impressive! First, here for the student card, it takes you a photo and 5 minutes later, it gives you your card is super fast and so is all that is paperwork! Once there is a small problem, the leadership and international office by day everything is back to normal, no need to run as at Louvain office in office and sometimes wait for weeks for a simple paper! Here, they really work!
Otherwise as I've already said, I have three classes, which makes me 13 hours of classes a week and I have no classes on Friday, so it's really extra for you travelers on WE ! By cons, here we have lots of homework and work, so it is less gland in Belgium! The week so I work a lot, no morning or leave aprèm! But I'm not going to complain because sometimes they are quoted and accounts for a lot of points in the middle! For example, in course (Industrial Ecology) weekly group we work to realize all these works account for 50%, so we give ourselves a lot on this, and because it pays each time for now we have over 90%! Class! For example, in a way, it was a total of 10 assignments during the period, to pass the exam, you must validate 5! In Norway, they all work a lot during the year, they arrive in the morning and leave at 4 am even though they did not progress, they remain in college to work! But we must know the infrastructure here makes you want to work! Here, I've got all my classes in the program Master "Industrial Ecology" and so we have a room just for us, with ordis, really comfortable seats, free printer to print as much as you like, scan, everything is at our disposal, and little more than a corner sofa to rest, it's really quiet! Get all the rooms here, and there are plenty around, are really well equipped (for example, in one, there are two screens for each pc), and not at all dilapidated. And so is all that is available to us, everything is still intact, the Norwegians are very respectful to the material standpoint, it's really surprising from
Otherwise the entire month of October, there were so few in the industry days, each with a different area, and here they are super generous, I received a lot of USB drives 1GB, pens, bottle openers ...
Other small things that surprised me also, what are the cups of coffee! Indeed, by the beginning of the year, we all received a stainless steel cup, and when used, coffee and tea are less expensive, more history to avoid possible cups and therefore minimize waste! Not stupid at all, especially here in the cold, everyone is drinking, and during, it's pretty funny everyone has before him his cup, even the teacher! And here the hot water is free!
Otherwise, I also started courses in Norwegian, 'survival course', 6h per week 4weeks, the courses are free just for Erasmus! This is really extra, you learn everything from scratch, numbers, time, and basic conversations, but I can tell you that it's really not easy, sounds are completely different and there are new letters do not exist among us! Furthermore, we learn a Norwegian academic, and not necessarily one that people talk. You should know already that in Norway there are two official dialects and then into each region, they speak differently with different pronunciations! It promises to!
Well, I hope you realize that Erasmus is not only the gland, I work a lot this week, just to take full advantage of my weekends, and I admit that sometimes I dream to sleep a little longer! But hey I'm only here for 4months, so sleeping in it will be for the Christmas holidays when most will blockade! At this point, I shall have finished my exam '! I still have more than 3 weeks of classes and then blockade, it goes fast!
soon! And special hello to Marie-Pierre, thank you for your mail!
