About Me

I study French at the University of Birmingham (bst crse, bst uni 4eva IDST).
I used to live on Hubert Road with 4 of my friends and a massive shower, and a lamp.
It DEFINITELY beats living at home (as much as I love it...) Hull is ok in small doses, but I have no idea why some people never leave!
And now I live (or will do as of September) in Lyon!
Université Lumière Lyon II
I will be spending my year in Lyon
I'm Interrailing round Europe for five weeks from the beginning of July - August.
