Welcome to University |Part 2|

So I have officially been an university student for almost a month! It's crazy and I can't believe how fast this month has went and how much I already have done! But let's start with day 1!

So the first day I went to my university 08:45 am ready for the first welcome. When I went to our canteen I was really confused because there was soooo many tables and a lot of new students! I didn't know where to go but luckily the other students where very sweet to show me the way. I found my table and took a seat and met the first 2 of my new classmates and group members. At AAU they use groups a lot throw the tuition and pretty much all of my time spend there are together with my group. I was very nervous over what kind of people they would be. Luckily my group only contains super nice and friendly people and we all have it great together. We were two girls and 3 boys in my group and it turned out that I studied math with the girl (Dinna) and one of the boys (Martin) went to the same high school as me but was in a class under me.
The rest of the day was all about our welcome with lots of speeches from different professors and student organizations.

Our program (It's in Danish sorry)

A student organization and place  called huset (the house)

After the speeches and lunch it was time for Tour de Campus which basically was like a treasure hunt (without a treasure) through the campus. It was really funny and a great way to get around the campus. Some of the competition was really difficult but still great!
We ended the tour by drawing a map over our university and it looked like this

Afterwards we went to our University's bar called Smuthullet where there was free pizza to us all! After some pizza and a beer we went home ready for the next day!

The subjects I'm studying the first semester is:
-Calculus
-Problem based learning (PBL)
-Fundamental energy systems physics and topology which contains of
 - Electro physics
 -Energy
 -Different types of energy systems
I also have some subjects I chose myself which gives me some ECTS points I don't really know what I can use them for:
-LaTex
-Basic Math

My books

So far I like it all but I must say PBL is super super boring and Electro physics was really difficult!!! Luckily our teacher in Electro physics was really nice and used a lot of one of our lectures on teaching us how to calculate assignments in his subject.

Besides all of my subjects I already had an exam, 6 days ago! This also means that I have been super busy writing my project (my exam) together with my group members. I pretty much didn't have time for anything and some days I most admit I didn't have time for homework.
Our exam is about us writing a project together as group members then do a presentation of it. Our main theme was Energy so after some days of discussing our final theme, we agreed on consequences with windmills with focus on people living around it.
Doing this project our group member Martin also decided to leave our group so we were even busier! In the end we made it, hold a presentation and passed it! Our presentation could have been better but it wasn't bad! And I think our Supervisor really liked our project! They had lots of positive comments on its content and they used our numbers to the others presentations if they didn't agree.

I also attended a party at my university called Sport Party. Doing the day of the party people would dress up and there would be competitions in different kinds of sports. Dinna and I went and watch it a bit but then it started raining! We quickly went to Dinna's place instead and cooked dinner (Mexican pancakes) and got ready for the party. It was a lot of fun and the party at the school was very chill. I don't think I would categorize it a party but it was fun! There weren't a lot of people but Dinna and I both knew some older students and I also know a couple of people who has started this year so we had a lot fun!

Quick party selfie at the bathroom with Dinna!

So far this is some of the highlight so far of my university life! I'm currently having some days off because we just had an exam so I'm relaxing and studying a lot so I'm ready to start again! I'm hoping you guys had a nice start on your university, school, high school, job ect.
So stay tuned for more university blogpost! I'll soon gonna write a much bigger project called p1! And remember to check my blog every Sunday in October because it's DIY October!

Have a nice week

Welcome to university part 1

First of all I'm really sorry I haven't made any post lately but in this blog post you'll figure out why!
The last couple of weeks have been really nerve wrecking for me! I've been waiting for my acceptances letter from the university I've applied to and I had a math exam!
A month ago I applied for my dream university in Denmark, Aalborg University Esbjerg, in my home city, which is also the place where I studied math and physics before.
12 days ago I got my acceptance mail and I was super happy! But... First I had to pass my last math exam before I could be 100% accepted! I don't think I've ever been so close yet so far away from my goal before!
This also meant that the last few weeks, I've been studying math all the time! AS IN THE FREAKING WHOLE TIME!
I was so focused on studying that even if I had a break I would think about making math assignments. Even when we were celebrating my dad two weekends ago, suddenly in the middle of the night (while the party still was going on) I thought "Hey lets make some math!". It was crazy and really intense!
I couldn't, at that moment, bear the thought of not starting at university and the feeling of disappointing my entire family but also the fact that it would hurt my pride, not to be accepted.
On the day of my exam I was really nervous but I was thinking positive and felt that I mostly could my math- But still REALLY NERVOUS!!!! 
I must admit I had the best people to watch over us at the exam! They were so kind and funny and it really calmed my nerves.
After the exam I didn't really know what to feel. I was confused but happy and then confused again, because it was a difficult exam. I honestly wasn't sure if the thing I had calculated was right or wrong but I decided to let it go for the rest of the day.
The next couple of days were literately just like hell! I don't think I have ever been this depressed before in my life. I didn't feel like doing anything or spend time with people. I just wanted to stay in my bed and be depressed because I was thinking about my exam ALL the time! And the more I was thinking about it, the worse I felt, because I felt like everything was wrong.
A couple of days later, I started to see the light again and began to accept the fact that if I didn't start at my university this year I could do it next year. I could work another year and earn some money and go travelling.
But I still knew what I wanted the most and I couldn't really accept not getting into university.
One person who truly told me something that made everything more clear and positive for me was a friend I have from Singapore. He told me

"Well it's already done so don't worry okay? Just enjoy what time you have right now!"

Honestly that remark did so much for me! My friend, Ashley, just made my mood so much better and it was like I could breath again and accept everything! I truly think that no matter what happens, you should really enjoy the time you have now! It doesn't help anyone or yourself if your mood is negative! Even through it's difficult and hard!
After that amazing remark the next couple of days went by and I was more positive! I could actually smile and be around people without being depressed. But I still couldn't relax and I was constantly checking if our result were uploaded multiple times a day!
When the result still wasn't posted yesterday a week after my exam I called my University to asked why the result weren't posted yet and I was told that nobody had seen our assignments yet. At that moment I was really irritated because I've just been walking around the last week like some kind of zombie. But as always the people who works at my university are incredibly sweet and great and today I got a call from one of the people working at my university that I passed my exam. While speaking with her on the phone I tried to sound as professional and cool as possible while I mostly wanted to scream out of happiness! The moment before she told me I had passed I was so nervous. One thing is to figure out by yourself that you haven't passed and another thing is to be told by another person you haven't passed and I honestly don't know how I would have reacted if I haven't passed it! But I had and even through I was standing in the middle of our local drug store (I was out shopping with my mom and sis) I were jumping on the place and half screaming "I passed" in the middle of the store after our call ended... Not the most elegant moment in my life but what ever!
I have never felt this big wave of happiness in my entire body before as I did today! It was amazing!
For the rest of the day I've been wearing the biggest smile ever. Even when Jasmin and I were literately killed at our Body Fit lesson at the gym I was still happy!
So now I can end my blogpost with lots of happiness and call myself for an official university student!
