exams’ period, five of nine PE students showed up! We headed straight to Mug&Bean where different topics were discussed – students were sharing their worries regarding exams, how much they need to study and when they will have exams. Girls were wondering why some of them gained weight, some of them even lost few kilos! It was clear that YFU PE students are very sportive! All mentioned doing some kind of sports – some attending gym, like Franziska, some going jogging, like Astrid, or Ameline shared her passion of athletics. After the students were done with the lunch, YFU representative in PE Iris Goeda and Lesley joined the group and were attacked with questions about December Tour – what to bring, what not to bring, how many students are coming, where will they stay and so on.
