Dear Mum,
I felt obliged to write to inform you how everything is going here in Spain since I started university. Please accept my sincere apologies for not writing sooner but Ive been so busy I really havent had a suitable opportunity.
I managed to find a nice place to live. Its a small flat just around the corner from my university. Im sharing the flat with a girl called Anita who seems really nice and has been here for a year.
I have become familiar with my surroundings and have been practising my Spanish, which is improving considerably every day.
I hope to return home for Christmas once the examinations are over. It will be wonderful to see everyone again. I do get homesick, you know.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Julie
