As I've just received the dreaded email containing my second-year university exam results, this seems to be a suitable time to write a 'goodbye Exeter'-type post. You might be pleased to hear that I've passed and thankfully got all the grades I hoped for - even, by some miracle, in my Russian exams! This means, quite dauntingly, that I'm officially a third-year student. Eek!
You may also have noticed that I'm having a little bit of a change of scenery around here; I've got a new name, a new URL and hopefully, in the not too distant future, I'll have a new domain to match. That's because in September, I'll be flying off to Germany to start my Year Abroad, which I'll spend studying in the very pretty little town of Tübingen.
Although I've found the idea of studying abroad frankly terrifying, I'm starting to look forward to the new and exciting opportunities that it will undoubtedly
bring - not least where blogging is concerned! I'll endeavour to keep What Hayley Did up-to-date with as many pictures and anecdotes as I can manage. Over the course of my study placement, I'll also be writing 'Mole Diaries' for ThirdYearAbroad.com, and I may even make a foray into video-blogging, should the fancy take me...
There are a good few weeks yet before I depart for Deutschland, but if you want to keep abreast of all my pre-departure developments, such as finding out about accommodation, applying for language courses and choosing modules, you can track me down on the following social media pages:
