Exchange, part 3

Yep, here we go again...

Everytime I go talk to the exchange coordinator, I feel like I'm starting at square 1. This time, she wanted to know why I wanted to go in my 8th semester, since the fact that it would be my first semester at English and it wouldn't be possible to transfer all the subjects I need to do on that semester... I pointed out to her that I major in English and that I have already done all of those subjects...

So, being past all that, it turns out I'm way early applying - I thought I had to apply in March, but it's not till November. Then there's the fact that she wants me to wait till my 9th semester, because of the language issue - basically she thinks, it will be too difficult for me to follow classes, if I go straight after studying Nordic.

I'm still a bit annoyed with that, because I really don't think the language will be that big of a problem. And I really wanna DO SOMETHING, I guess I'm getting a bit itchy ;) But I'm considering waiting because of purely practical, hence economic, reasons. For instance, I will be able to keep my job longer - I might not be able to get a job, when I come back - I can earn all the money I want in the first 6 months of the year, giving me the possiblity to save up, and also, Mads will be done with his education when I leave, making it easier for him economically while I'm gone.

But those are all the practical, boring reasons. I'm having a hard time coping with the fact that I'd spend another 18months working, going to school, studying, wrking, going to school... you get the point. But then again, I can't take time off anyways for another year, so it doesn't really make THAT much of a difference.

I have six months to make up my mind.

And comments are very welcome.
