Here in Ireland, we\u2019re about to enter week 5 here of the new academic year and while I feel like it\u2019s still the start of the semester, things are once again moving at an alarming pace. Last time I wrote an entry, I was sitting in the sunshine in Copenhagen looking at the spring flowers wondering how time manages to move so quickly. Five months later and it\u2019s a pretty similar story, except this time I\u2019m looking out into the garden watching the leaves turn red.<\/p>\n<p>Between studying (<em>read: procrastinating<\/em>) for six exams and trying to fit as much in before everyone moved back home\/went away for the summer, unsurprisingly the final three weeks of last semester passed in somewhat of a blur. Truly embracing the pass\/fail nature of being on exchange, a highlight was definitely when a bunch of us booked flights to Germany and ended up at Fr\u00fchlingsfest, the smaller, more localised version of Oktoberfest in Munich. With beer in litre steins and lederhosen and dirndls everywhere, \u2018smaller and more localised\u2019 definitely didn\u2019t equate to less fun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2656\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2656\" style=\"width: 542px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-27-at-10.30.39-am.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2656\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-04-27-at-10.30.39-am.jpg\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-04-27 at 10.30.39 am\" width=\"542\" height=\"410\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2656\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fr\u00fchlingsfest &#8211; Munich, Germany<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Five days later and back on Irish soil, things a lot less happy and merry as May kicked off along with the start of exams. Group mentality was fairly prevalent, given that here for some reason that completely escapes me, you take your exams with 3000 other students in the room. Except you\u2019re not in a room, you\u2019re in a freezing cold, barren hangar, off campus somewhere that requires taxis home if you\u2019re unlucky enough to have an exam finishing at 8pm. A <em>truly<\/em> bizarre way of doing it if you ask me, especially when 600 people up and leave because they\u2019ve only had a 1 hour exam. Seldom fun in the eyes of anyone, I\u2019m going to skip over the rest of exam details and fast-forward to end of them and the beginning of summer.<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m honest, finishing exams was a bit of a weird and melancholic experience. While I, along with every other student, was absolutely stoked to be finished the semester, there was a sad feeling in the air as we packed up our things and moved out of where we considered \u201chome\u201d to be for the last four months. On our final night in student accommodation, we all assembled for a last hurrah among the exchange students. Rules were put in place &#8211; <em>shed a tear, finish your beer<\/em>.<strong> A lot<\/strong> of beer was consumed. And a lot of tears were shed &#8211; myself included when I waved off my beautiful housemates as they left for the airport to fly back to the US the next day. As I\u2019m sure most exchange students can attest to, you tend to bond the quickest with other exchange students. Maybe it\u2019s because you\u2019re in the same boat and fast friendships are necessary to feel some sort of grounding when you\u2019re in a new place, or maybe because you hold what\u2019s familiar close. Or it could just be because you literally always see each other. Regardless, the group of students last semester were a truly weird and wonderful crowd who made the end of the semester exceptionally hard, despite knowing we were free of assignments, exams and, best of all, group work for a whole 16 glorious weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Like most students that have found themselves on exchange in Europe, travelling has slowly etched its way more and more into my exchange as the time ticks by. Whether it be over weekends, mid-semester break, swotvac, during exams (yes, embrace the pass\/fail nature of exchange! Any spare time is time to travel), before\/after the semester or between semesters, travelling is a massive part of being on exchange. Domestically or internationally, I feel like that\u2019s what constitutes an extremely large part of the whole experience: seeing new places, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people. Coming\u00a0on exchange for our academic year (i.e. backwards to here) meant\u00a0that I had four months\u00a0holidays in between semesters where I was fortunate enough to backpack around Europe &#8211; ohh my, what a treat it was having summer holidays mid-year!<\/p>\n<p>The summer kicked off to an incredibly wet start. There\u2019s no other way to put it. My parents came to Ireland to visit and it was possibly the worst 10 consecutive days of weather I\u2019ve seen here to date.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the beautiful Cliffs of Moher that <del>usually<\/del> look like this<strong> if<\/strong> you\u2019re lucky enough with a sunny day &#8211; as my housemates were when they went.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2660\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2660 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o.jpg\" alt=\"10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o\" width=\"2048\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o-1024x263.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10974501_506347479505447_5734867773003795064_o-500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cliffs of Moher, Ireland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And we, on the other hand, were instead gifted with this: a <em>much<\/em> more adequate representation of Ireland\u2019s temperamental weather patterns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2661 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2015\/10\/10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n.jpg\" alt=\"10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2015\/10\/10422173_897025013693204_5254661580238614699_n-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, we didn&#8217;t see much.
