Left my flat about 845 this am, and enjoyed a brisk 20 minute walk to campus. Seems the temperature stays between 38-42 most of the time (so far), and it hasn’t rained yet. J (I’ve only been here for 24 hrs, by the way…)
I'm in the university library with high-speed access for the first time in a week, so i'm happy. the international student orientation this am was a little remedial, but i did pick up a few pointers. there's a reception tonight from 7-9, but i don't know if i'll trek all the way back down again.
Stops on the way home this afternoon include the sport club (I’ve seen the golf program advertised, and it’s only 40 pounds for 8 rounds… that’s $10/round, which fits into my student budget well.) I’m also looking for a football team to help keep me in shape, and there’s a huge tennis center and an indoor pool near my flat. Should keep me quite occupied from Friday to Wednesday when I’m not in class. J
I have 2 flat-mates so far, Monika from Vienna, Austria, and David from Glasgow, Scotland (he’s 6’6), both are quite pleasant and we’re looking forward to getting on well for the next 4 months. There are a number of other “for let” signs along our row, so we may have the whole place to ourselves for a while. Monika is in the middle... along with her friends Laura (also from Vienna) and Timor from Germany.
