Blogpost 2: Living in Utrecht

At the beginning of the training, business communication I lived in Wamel. Wamel is a small village near by Tiel. The connection between Wamel and Utrecht by train or bus is very bad. I had to go by bike and ferry for 10 km to Tiel and there I took the train to Utrecht that takes a lot of time. The ferry is also many times out of service because of to high water. In October 2010 I moved to Utrecht. It was hard to find a nice room. With a lot of luck I qualify for a nice home. I live now in a large townhouse which I sublet to two other girls. We have a beautiful home. I think its luxury to live as a student like this way. A nice home with a big living room, three sleeping rooms, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, garden and roof. We live nearby the center of Utrecht. It’s a nice and quiet neighborhood with a lot of plants and threes.  The advantages of living in a student room are that I don’t have to travel so far and I have a lot of freedom. The disadvantages of living in a student room are that I have to clean my home by myself and I live far away from my family.

But when I want to visit my family I’ll sleep a day with my parents.

Post one: My first half year at the HU

At August 30, 2010 began the lessons from business communication. The first half year was quit an experience. I do like it very well. This half year was also a busy time.

It was a hard first half year for me. I came from MBO and thats less difficult then HBO. I have to spend a lot of time for school. I like the assignment that we have to do. The assignment I liked the most was the assignment where we have to make a movie. We had to choose a childbook and we have to make a movie of that book. I liked that very much. I love the practical courses.

This block we have a lot of theoretical courses. I think that is very boring and I hope that next block will be more interesting. To finish this block I have to do a lot of work. I hope I will finish this block and year with good results. When I have the same results as the blocks before. Then I will not finish this year.

At the last block we have to do a lot of practical assignments I think I like that the most. We have to make a magazine and a website. That is also difficult to make, but I like that very much so then it is less difficult.

It will be a hard year for me but I hope I will make it. I will do my best.

Top tip: Make a good planning then you will have less stress at the rest of the year.
