York Uni

I'm probably updating this thing way too much but since i'm just settling in there's quite a lot going on. As you may have guessed, i made it to York and moved into my accommodation successfully. I'm in Alcuin College which is just over the road from the center of campus. It is apparently known as the "posh" college because it's newer and all en-suite. My room is very nice for a dorm, I guess i got the biggest room in my flat because i'm on the end so that was cool to find out. I've unpacked but it looks like an airplane threw up in my room because i'm still getting sorted.

I've met a good amount of people so far, mostly just people from my College though. I know everyone in my flat (there are 5 of us) and we all get on really well. Two of them are 2nd years and one is a 3rd year so it's nice being around people my age instead of all 18 yr old freshers. I've meet some internationals as well at orientation today which is good fun. We had the freshers ball last night at the racecourse. Very posh, three levels of live music, dance floors, about 8 bars and 3,000 people. The Queues were ridiculous to take the bus and get in and at the bars though so that kind of sucked. It was fun getting dressed up and going out though.

Finally have been figuring out classes, i think i might end up having classes on Mondays and Fridays which out of all the days to have classes are the worst because they're so spread out but what can i do? I don't think it'll be too bad, i don't plan on traveling too much this term.

I'll have to write when i have more time, we have our college Provost talk tonight and then its Pillage the Village into town. It's raining just now so it should be an interesting night. Oh and the picture is of Heslington Hall on campus, its like the adinistrative building, i think :) Very pretty though. Enjoy!
