The Astoners Abroad

For everyone who does read this piece-of-cr*** of a blog you know that in my third year I did a placement in Intel (a.k.a Company X). Lots of Astoners, however, chose to study abroad. An example that I will discuss with you is L.M. who for the purpose of this post I will call "Buba".

So, Buba is a third year, Business and International Relations Aston student currently on exchange in Australia. You can imagine that for every student having to chose between placement and exchange is quite tough. Buba, however, took a chance and flew off in a south-eastern direction. She started her course in University of South Australia and began settling in. (You can see some photos from her "Australian Adventures" below this post.)

Forwarding to April 2011, Buba is working hard and enjoying uni. She has found a part-time job and since recently has been offered an internship in the Bulgarian Embassy for the Summer (Winter in Australia). For me, personally, Buba is an example of the perfect balance between a work and study in a third year uni experience.
