What am I doing here?

”What the hell am I doing here?” Probably this is the question that all the people starting a new live abroad ask to themselves at some point. Either for professional, academic or other reasons. In my case I’ve come to Copenhagen, Denmark to study Civil Engineering, which is known in Spain for a much cooler name, Ingenieria de Caminos, Canales y Puertos. Within the next two years I will be studying a MSc in the Denmark Technical University or DTU.

After coming back from Helsinki I took the decision that I wanted to study abroad again, so after a long and tedious process full of worries, disappointments and eventually joy I got accepted in the DTU to study the MSC in Civil Engineering. Some people might believe that I’m crazy for keep studying  after the nightmare which is my current college, ETSI Montes, but I have to say that I still had one year of studies remaining so why don’t study two years instead of one so I get another degree? To all that call me crazy, I answer them back you guys are the insane ones staying in Spain with the current Crisis. I won’t make the mistake of saying that my decision is the best one, nor that I have my success guaranteed, but at least in some years, in the unemployment office I could say to myself “You did your best” and no one could take that away from me.

However, I have to say that I had a job interview in Copenhagen, even before that leaving Spain. I might not get the job, but at least I got something that seems impossible in Spain right now, so I truly believe that taking my suitcase and becoming an expatriate was a great decision.

How everything will end? We’ll see…
