I've just started at Uni of Leeds doing Russian, and we do our year abroad in our second year, and I can't stop stressing out about it (cue people calling me a melt; "chill out fresher" blah blah blah i hate you all). I know it's early days but it's literally all I can think about. Has anyone done this? I don't see how it is beneficial in any way.... I mean I guess you get to grasp the language earlier on but still - I'll have just settled into a new place and then suddenly I'm off to Moscow for a YEAR, all the friends i would have made will all move into houses without me and probably forget about me by the time I'm back!!
When I applied to Leeds I thought it was an option to go in your second year, but it's not and I can't back out now.
HELP A SISTA OUT PLS I NEED PEACE AND COMFORT
