I haven't been out to take pictures yet, but I assure you this place is gorgeous. Especially Founder's building. Which awes me every time I am in it or walk by it. The town itself is small, and situate on a hill. It is really quite a nice area of the country.
This whole week is what they call "Freshers Week." The new students come in and essentially have a week to get used to student life, meet new people, have "social outings," and sort out any logistical items. I think this is a brilliant idea, because once school actually starts next week, people will be more or less settled, rather than just jumping into classes when no one knows their way around.
Because of this madness, I have been a bit bad at posting on the blog. This is my formal apology.
My dorm is very modern, and has its own bathroom and a double bed. Then I share a kitchen with 8 other people.
On the plus side, I did manage to secure a free bike. I was eating with some friends when I went to ask the bartender if he knew of any good places to get cheap bikes. He said he didn't, but that they had a bike that had been sitting at the pub for a long time, and that I could have it after he double checked with the boss. So I went back today after buying a lock and a bike pump, and after a few minor maintenance issues, I had it up and running. So that feels great.
I have met a lot of people, but in a college campus of 8000, there are still plenty more to meet.
That is all for now
