Moving to Denmark

[ringular]

After I failed my very last exam in my bachelor degree program last October I had reached a pretty low point in my student live.

Its not that  I failed it finally, I still got 2 tries left but I didn't get the chance from the university to do an oral exam or sth. like that.

So I have to wait until end of July to take the last exam again,  and let me tell you, that was  a bitter pill to swallow. The last 3 credit points (of 180) will rob me of nearly a year and my professors didn't/don't care at all about that. I made plans with my girlfriend over a year ago to move to Denmark for a masters degree program and after I failed we thought I could never apply according to the deadlines for intake, which are pretty early in Denmark. Well, she finished her degree a few months ago, but had to learn English, to have a real chance to cope with studying in a foreign language. She got herself a job and learned english since. I helped her with it. This fact was the only thing that kept me from loosing it. If we had to wait, and we still wanted to go abroad, at least we have time to get her English skills to a sufficient level.

But somehow my goal of studying at a Danish University seemed to dwindle away the more time I spent on thinking about it.

So after a few month of trying to cope with anxiety issues about an uncertain future we applied nonetheless both at the same Universities in the hope we can go and start this new chapter together. 

I wrote a thousand emails to Universities explaining I had 3 credit points missing and won't be able to hand my final diploma in the given deadlines.

Some answered, some didn't. Nobody gave me a straight answer. My girlfriend got sick the a few month ago from all the stress. Her job is a real pain in the ass, here colleagues are mostly creeps who want to "seduce" her. Coming home to learn English, uncertainty on how it will go on. 2.5 month the most vicious stomach aches and nausea. gastrits. Doctor appointments with waiting periods of a month.... That was no fun at all. Luckily she is better now. Still recovering but it gets better with every day. 

Not the best of times, I started to grind my teeth  at night and was frequently on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Normally I am a very relaxed person even under stress.

 

 

Wednesday I got an answer from a University. Roskilde gave us both a place in their master degree program. My mind was blown and still is.

There is still another application running with the University of Aarhus where I could have a chance with my missing diploma, but the master program in Roskilde sounds pretty awesome.

 

Now I have a goal again. I want to save more money, I want to learn danish, I want to prepare for the program, find a flat for us.

The last two days I  woke up with a smile on my face. 

Lets see if Aarhus gives us a positive answer. But I am more than happy with the situation right now.

 

Just had to get that off my chest.
