Oh, the Year Abroad!
I’m currently in my 4 th month of my year abroad, though I spent about a month of it back in the UK so let’s say we’re in the 3 rd month. It has been an interesting few months, and I thought it would be a good idea to do a check-in, an update, a review. Or perhaps just a rant. I’m currently living in Berlin, on the outskirts in the far East in the borough of Lichtenberg. For my year abroad, I had the choice to study (if I was going to get time off from education, I decided I would take it), do an internship (with Brexit, this basically wasn’t an option as I’d have to find a company which would sponsor my visa, which no company wants to do and to be honest I don’t blame them), or teach as an English language assistant in a school. I decided to go with the latter, as it’s only 12 hours a week of teaching, I get paid a decent salary for the amount of time and effort required, and I also get a day off a week in addition to the weekends, giving me the opportunity to travel. So...
