Oh well! Friday (25th September) is now here and I have successfully made it through the first part of Fresher's Week. I went to see if I had any post at the Student Union building this morning. My Disabled Persons Railcard has arrived-yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! This means I can now travel for a 3rd less than it would usually cost me and a companion can travel for the same price.
I was going to take my camera in to the centre to take some photos on the way to the station but it is overcast today, so I haven't bothered. After a nice cuppa, I headed off for home. I don't need to be back in whilst Monday morning so can travel back whenever it takes my fancy on Sunday.
All in all, the week hasn't been too bad I suppose. The canteen is shut at weekends, the food is expensive but I have found a way to get a free dinner-haha! I have started to talk to people, especially staff. I have bought a guitar to keep me occupied and I eventually made it to the bar. Perhaps the newness of University doesn't seem so bad after all.
I also discovered that the Student Union shop is pretty reasonably priced. A ream of paper in the city centre (from a shop that used to be quite good under its previous branding) is £5.49. A better quality ream from the SU shop is only £4.50 - result!!!! I did find a ream in the city for £3.99 from a huge named chain, but you have to walk further to get it for that price-haha!!!
I am looking forward to starting my lectures on Monday and getting to know the other students on my course. As you may (or may not) know, my memory is terrible. It may be easier to start making friends with the people on my course first rather than trying to jump in the big pool.
