I have been here first 5 days. And felt all kind of emotions. I don't really like travelling especially by plane. You always have to wait at one place to get another and then move quickly to reach transportation to next place and so on. It didn't help that I had besides travelling other stress. But I'm here now and I'm fine, isn't it the most important?
I got my student card and accommodation keys in first two days. Cause those cards I was allowed to go now everywhere in campus. My friend introduced to me campus area, which is at the same time really big, little bit confusing and amazing! Theres so many people working in different services. Like student info has about 6 workers there at the same time. In Finland there was only few people.
I just got loved that library, even I have been there once! It's big, there's different floors for different things. Big areas for independent study with and without computers. Also quiet floor. and if I have some tasks to write like essays which I hope is not, I can get free service that someone glance trough my text and they give some tips what's wrong with it!
My flat is for 5 students. I think it looks like some hospitals from horror movies, cause the doors and hallway, but I just have few minutes from my accommodation to my classes. That's good and bad in the same time! Heres's how my accommodation's yard looks like. Quite nice I think :)
I got my accommodation key 2 days later I arrived so at that day I just had huge shopping day. Just what I needed like pillow, blanket, plate, mug, bowl and more cookware, also bought some food. And all those I found from some cheap stores like Aldi and Poundworld. I didn't know it's this cheap. I was expecting to pay way more from food. At shopping center was cute window still from Christmas decoration.
I just wasn't having any appetite at beginning of the week, every bite felt like forcing and just looking food made my stomach feel bad. At Thursday I made first time some food in here and after that I feel like I got some of my appetite back. I'm normally eating all the time, so it's never been like this... But at next day I had more energy so I turned music on my earphones and cleaned my room from floor to ceiling. Yeah. I think I was first time happy at that day. Cleaning just makes me feel better. Now I have tidy room! Yey! I think I can see I'm visual person cause I like that even inside my closet everything looks good, of course not all the time. :D
Oh yeah. I joined to french course. Again... Third time starting it, or maybe I'm continuing studying, cause I had year ago one course of it. I really like french. It is kind of easier to me pronounce, but I'm good at forgetting languages. :D Bad student here, but at least I'm always trying to learn more. I'm studying it trough Rosette, worldwise language programme so it's independent course. I could study here many more languages also, but I think this is now enough, and if not I can start something else later. :D
And here's some last pictures.
Trying to be snowy xD I did know I had already roommate
Long story, I walked into wall xD and one of my random leg pictures...
At last some weird things here:
- Hot and cold water coming in separately
- Left side traffic, I just don't remember that!
- It feels colder here than in Finland, i prefer dry and cold weather like -5 Celsius degrees more than moist and little bit warm/cool
- I haven't found right kind of oatmeal for porridge
- I have used to use word course but I think at here it's module, so I use both
- Why there's no cupboard where you can dry your wet cookware? I know it's finnish invention...stil sad :(
- Saunas? I have heard some weird stuff about those. I think I have to find out more where I can find one I can go!
