Remember a few days ago I posted about the Erasmus program at my university? In the last few days I’ve thought a lot about it… because that’s what I do (I need the meme: “worry about ALL the things!” xD but I’m too lazy to look for it)

Berlin is still my first choice but I’ve started considering other options, in particular Madrid, because from what I’ve seen german universities are very demanding when it comes to language requirements and I don’t know if I can learn enough German in time to be admitted there and I don’t know what happens if I apply there, take the language test and don’t pass it, I don’t really want to risk being told to go home…

That’s why I’ve started considering Madrid, because Spanish is far easier then German and reaching a good enough level of language in just a few months looks easier. I also chose Madrid because I want to go to a big city and that’s pretty much the only other option I have also everyone says it’s a beautiful city and I always wanted to visit it.

A part of me really wants to apply for Erasmus at Las Palmas (in the Canary Islands) and just go to the beach all the time but I don’t think I could ever live on a small island…

On thursday I’m going to talk to the coordinator and see if she has any advice, knowing her she won’t, a couple of times I’ve asked her for something via email and she just answered “check on the website”  if I asked her it was because I didn’t find what I was looking for on the website, ugh!

PS: while I was writing this post I wanted to serch for a not very polite italian expression which means basically thinking/worrying about useless stuff over and over again and I found that apparently there is an english translation and it’s “mental masturbation” does it really exist? It’s actually the literal translation of the italian expression (only a bit more polite) but I’ve never heard it!
