First Impact



The past three days have truly swung by, and I've already had many amazing and eye opening experiences. I'll break the days into seperate entries to make it easier to follow.
Saturday
Above are some photos of my cozy little bedroom and kitchen. It's a six bedroom flat, but no one else has moved in yet. As you can see, my desk is a little messy with all of the papers I've been handed upon arrival.
The flat's located in a building complex called Hector Boece Court, which is part of the Hillhead Residence Complex. Much of Hillhead is comprised of student dorms where the "Freshers" (freshmen) live, with the rest of the complex consisting of self-catered flats like mine. Hillhead is approximately a 30 minute walk from campus, but a double decker bus comes every 30 minutes that runs between here and campus.

After nearly 24 hours of travelling, I slept pretty hard on Saturday night and didn't wake up until 1:30 pm on Sunday. The 6-hour jetlag has my sleep patterns acting weird, and I haven't really been hungry as a result.

That's all from Saturday, but see the next entry for Sunday's experiences!

Take care!

patricia said..... i'm glad you don't have to walk 30 minutes to campus. ( if you did, the only thing you would have is a well exercised body... & that will not hurt you, it will make you stronger. ) nick, do you know the saying..... what don't kill you will not hurt you, but only make you stronger. i'm sorry your not sleeping or eating real well..... it will get better, though, nick. take care. miss you.
