Did my expectations which I had at the beginning of my studies at this university come true?

When these school years began, I thought that studying at Lithuania's University of Educational Science will be very hard and difficult, because everything was new, unknown. But when these years ends, I think that they were very interesting, I knew a lot of new things, not only about grammar, but also about education itself.

First of all, I thought, that during this year we will be studying only English, only grammar, phonetics, and etc. But now I know that this speciality that I had chosen is much more than I had expected. I understood that a real teacher must be born for this work, because there is not much things that can be learnt during studies, much more thing can be just improved, not learnt.

Secondly, it seemed, that studying in university is much harder than it really is. Of course, you have to work, if you want to have good marks, but there is also quite a lot of time for your personal education, some free time activities. You just have to be able to coordinate your activities.

In addition, I would like to say, that English philology was not my top choice. I started learning it because it seemed like a good work for my future, but I did not like this subject. I could not even imagine, that I will start not only liking it, but loving it in every possible way.

To sum up, I can say, that I am really surprised how different my studies were from those, that I was imagining. They were much more interesting and much wider that it seemed in the beginning. I know, that it can be very hard in the future, but I think I will handle it.
