Pre-departure:
In my second year I discovered the opportunity for going for a short study trip abroad too late. I would have had a week to prepare everything, which I found inadequate, since an application for such a chance provided by the university should take all your input effort. So as soon as the applications for the summer schools were open I commenced with my application. I decided to go during my June/July holidays, since it is summer in Europe, which means the days are longer and there is more to experience. The easiest part of the application process was of course filling out the application form, then updating my CV and writing a letter of motivation. I asked my lecturer who taught a course similar to the one I applied for in Berlin, for a reference letter. Making the clip was challenging but much more fun than I expected! When making the clip you should not set limits to your creativity and imagination, while keeping it simple and professional. When I received the e-mail of admission I was super excited. My course would consist of 3 weeks in beautiful Berlin. As soon as the International Office provided me with documents to fill out, I completed them, aiming for a soon flight booking.
