tuesday 24th september 2024: bonjour!! wishing you all a fantastic start to the academic year 😀 freshers last week was absolutely jam packed so apologies for the radio silence! my first day of lectures was yesterday, and then went out with a few friends for coffee and to study. overall, it was a really interesting and great first day, but was VERY tiring 😅 today is more about getting stuck into the content rather than introductions, all the staff have been lovely so far!! today's to-do list: ✅❌ french oral and written grammar notes ✅❌ introduction to international politics reading/notes ✅❌ doing international politics reading/notes à bientôt 🌺💌 erin
Salut! Freshers week is somehow always hectic lol - that's good to hear its been going amazing for you! Best of luck with the rest xx

✅ intro to international politics seminar prep/notes ✅❌ written grammar and expression review
tomorrow I have no classes so will mostly focus on week 2 reading/prep then ⭐️📖
