First day of big school
Well here I sit, having survived (just!) my first day at big school. I say "day", it was actually only about an hour in total of doing things, but it felt like a day. I was doing really well this morning, then started to get horribly nervous around lunch time. I got myself into a bit of a state but Twinkle came to help (see photo).
Sparkle has had a day of tests at the vet and should arrive home a bit druggie!
I was able to meet my friend Matt on the way to uni (see photo)
as he has just started a Design for Interactive Media course. This was a huge relief as he made me laugh and eased the nerves a little. I felt quite ill in the induction meeting at first, but it got better as time went on. I explored the campus a bit with a girl called "Artee", before having my signature J20 in the (slightly sticky) SU bar. There seemed to be a nice vibe to the place and I hope that the next three years will be lots of fun as well as learning. Praying for the health to sort itself out, but what will be will be.
I have a grand total of ONE lecture per week, but the rest of the time is built from tutorials and practical sessions, so it pads out the week. I don't have anything on Fridays which is nice, but I guess that this is time to complete assignments and earn a bit of the much-needed 'wonga'!!
Poor JT returned home at 3:40am last night and has worked a full day today, so I expect that he will be shattered when he gets in. My dad built some wooden 'tables' whilst he was away for his train set which I have set up as a surprise. I moved all the furniture and cleared a space for it, so apart from being a little disorientated at 3:40am when he tried to get into a bed which had moved, he was very chuffed. I am leaving him to set up the track etc how he wants it.
I am now back in the flat with the usual sirens screeching past our windows. All is well at the end of day one.
