In October, we had a meeting to start everything off, and I found out that I did not have to go to Spain for my year abroad as I'd previously thought. So...choices! Do I choose France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Spain or Latin America?!
Well...
I chose Austria!
My reasons?
1. Austria is beautiful, naturally.
2. I've been learning German for eight years now and I feel like my spoken language is not where I would like it to be, and so I feel I will benefit most from time in a German-speaking country.
3. The Germans and Austrians are very organised and welcoming, and I think this is what I need on my year abroad.
So, I will hopefully be spending nine months in Austria as an English Language Assistant through the British Council starting in September/October 2015! The application is sent off, and now all I have to do is wait and see - and this time, I will actually post about it in time!
Thanks for reading!
