anyway, so, it's about time I updated over here, even though it's gonna be short.

I made it. I'm there. I'm at Newcstle University. My course is fantastic, my flat was one of the cheap ones that I was trying to avoid but it's lovely, even if my flatmates are messy they're all great, though I've not particularly gelled with anyone yet - I'm not exactly a social buterfly, I prefer spending time alone, but... we'll see.

I have a stack of books to read, and my course moves at the rapid pace of a text a week, plus my three different texts for Classics! I've made huge progress on Greek since I started, and can translate simple sentences.. but I can't say "Hello my name is..." beyond my vague memory of tourist Greek back when I was eight!

Richardson Road - my student accommodation - is awesome. But there are lots of random noises. I'm on the ground floor, but I'm surrounded by people on all other sides. Luckily no snoring (I think the girls get the odd-numbered rooms in mixed flats, not that I'm making a generalisation here) but we also have random musicians. So far:

-Guitarists
-Oboeists
-Improvised percussionists
- and, as of tonight, a bagpiper.

O_O Life is mad. And I love it.
