Yep, this is yet another entry about leaving Strasbourg.
I have been in contact with both the French department and the German department back home. Both of them seem to want me to think more about this decision over spring break which is next week (and which I will be home in England for). I can appreciate that they want me to think about this, but seriously I have. Not to sound arrogant or anything, but I am one of those people who think about EVERYTHING before I make a decision. And I mean everything. I have thought about everything to do with university requirement for Birmingham, fincancial stuff including the possiblility of having to pay back my grants, that I would probably have to pay the CROUS here for the rest of the semester, about how this would impact my other parts of my course, about all the work I have put into my degree the past few years...just about everything.
Sometimes I try to think "maybe if I do this then it might be better" but in the end, I am just plain unhappy about my situation. I understand that this is a "great experience" but frankly, it just isn't so great. I am unhappy here. Isn't that reason enough to leave?
There is the chance that I might be able to enroll in one of the French summer courses by Birmingham, but only if there is movement quickly. But then, it also depends when these courses are as I still have to apply for a summer course in Germany.
Staying in Strasbourg for the next few months would undoubtedly be the easiest option. Leaving causes big problems for not jsut French, but the rest of my degree. It might sound arrogant, weak, or just plain stupid that I want to leave.
The easiest decision is not always the right decision.
