ｷﾀﾜァ*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･゜(n‘∀‘)ηﾟ･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･* !!!!!
Finally...after 22 weeks of intensive Japanese Studies at SOAS and Management Studies at Birkbeck...We are done with exams and suffering, for a while LOL
My first year of uni has not been as fun or enjoyable as I expected. However, I have had the chance meet wonderful people and we did have a good time together in the JCR or Dinwiddy (Those wild nights in Halls... （ ^_^）o自自o（^_^ ）I will never forget). The teaching team at SOAS and Birkbeck was excellent.
Studying a language at SOAS has been a great experience but also has taught me how important it is to study every day...something that Spanish students are not very used to back home I must admit.
We do study a lot, but we do it at our your own pace.

Never, in my school or college years have studied this way. I remember having whole days off, going out with friends knowing that if I'd leave the homework for the night before the deadline I would still have enough time to complete my tasks. It always worked for me until I came to The UK. Here, I learned how easy was to fall behind the class if missing a lesson or a day of work. It was really hard to swallow at the beginning...and I tried to fool myself by saying "C'mon...It can't be that hard, I am in my first year". Well, IT WAS HARD...

With the problems I had with the house in both Bethnal Green and Seven Sisters... I could hardly concentrate sometimes. Unfortunately for me and for Laura, we chose the wrong place to live. Well It was not the place, It was the Landlord who could not bring himself to do this right. He would prefer to poorly manage the house and making us live in hell. We found other people on the Internet who had had problems with him. And I will write his name in this post too, because I would not like anybody to go through what we have been through. Mr Omar Fadiel is his name, the person who almost ruined my first year in London. I hope Karma do the rest. I am so glad I moved out in time. Since I live in the new house I feel like I came back to life again.


Feeling comfortable where you live is SO IMPORTANT! And I will say something to those who are moving from Halls to Private accommodation. Living near University is WORTH the money. It might seem like you are paying an awful lot. It's a fact that flats in Central London are over priced. Nevertheless, I would recommend you to think twice before you move somewhere where you need to commute (taking the train, buses...) to uni. At the end of the month commuting is also expensive and most importantly It will take time away from your studying and sleeping.

Having said that, I am happy to learn that Sophie and Alessandra will live with me during the next academic year :) Giulia will also live in Caledonian Road. It is going to be greatttttt! I love you girls!!! I still do not know where other people will be living next year but I hope they don't go too far cuz otherwise...HOW ARE WE GOING TO PARTY???? :)
Still struggling to find a place? Where do you want to live next year?

Well as for my last post. My "Booty buster Challenge" has been interrupted by the Exam term. I basically had craved for comfort food. Although I have resisted many times, I also had it many times xDDDD But that is what stress makes do.
Since I started the plan I rarely eat meat and Soy is now one of my favourite dishes. I have it wither with steamed veggies or in a salad. I prefer Soy milk for breakfast and I also order my Frappuccinos with it. White or wholemeal bread is disappearing from my diet and Rye Bread is becoming a strong substitute because IS JUST DELICIOUS!
I am preparing my meals, buying a lunch bag is the best thing I've done in a long time. But sometimes I need to eat out so Humus, Organic Sandwiches from "Fresh" (sold on tesco) or hand made food from "The People's supermarket" stop me from eating food that will do me no good in the long term.
I do not drink much water...need to do something about that but I do drink teas and coffee which speeds up my metabolism. I am going to quit Frappuccinos for a while because they leave me without two pennies to rub together and also because the calorie content.

In terms of exercise, I've realised that I need to be pushed so I have joined a gym. The home exercise routine did not work because the weather has been too nice for me to stay home and exams took most of my free time...if any xD I still don't have a bike but I will buy it eventually.
Now tell me, are you following any exercise plan? diet? I would love to know :) Specially if it works LOL

Oh...still do not get how I manage to write so much every time. It must because I post once in a blue moon.
aawwwww...It is soo late, I completely forgot that the gym closes early tonight (ﾟДﾟ;≡;ﾟДﾟ)
...not much left to say, well yeah... BOUNCE
