Hi!

Hi everyone!
So this is my first official blog post for the unit...
My name is Charlotte and I'm in my third year doing a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and German. I recently returned from a year's exchange overseas in Germany. I lived in this cute little down right in the south of Germany called Freiburg. It was a great place to live; literally only half an hour away from French and Swiss borders! But enough about that...

I guess I enrolled in this unit because I'm very fascinated about expressions of identity as well as the mechanics of cyberspace, probably because I've been in a long distance relationship for almost two years now and the online world is paramount in my relationship! But then cyberspace has always been an exciting world that I can occasionally escape to whenever I need a break from 'reality', and this concept interests me too.

I look forward to getting to know you all and learning more through this unit :)

PS, here's my link to a website that I visit daily called lovingyou.com - I discovered this website a few months ago when I first returned to Germany after 2.5 months in the US with my boyfriend... and was desperate to find an online community that I could basically vent to... sometimes it's nice to speak with others who know exactly what you're going through ;) There's a forum on there specifically for people in long distance relationships, which is perfect for me!
