How I did it
It made me
allovertheplace 
How I did it: It was an obligatory part of my degree (and yes I know that it was only 9 months but thats a uni year lol). Definately worth it as I am now fairly fluent in French, but I wouldnt really suggest living in Limoges, France! Nothing to do...Anyway, it was made up for by a certain person who will always be very important to me. Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: Most universities in the UK have study abroad programmes for thier students (in fact one of the main reasons for applying to Keele was that it would allow me to do two). I applied in my first year to spend a semester of my second year abroad after I had decided between studying in the Netherlands or Quebec.I would recommend this to most students, you need to be more focused than if you were just staying at home as it can be… Read how I did it…
It made me
Understand
How I did it: I enrolled on a little photography course at Concordia University, Montreal. The course only cost around 14 dollars, and although it was only taught by a student i was really very helpful. Read how I did it…

It was my birthday. I went home for 2 weeks and I ate cake and drank champagne. There was no running. Absolutely no form of exercise beyond walking to the table to eat more cake.

I have just fished out my grimey old journal from Tanzania and have started the task of writing it up properly, I guess as a kind of practice exercise. I am writing it as a blog on Matador Travel, will post a link once I have finished the first entry.
