Bath

Well here I am in Bath. I have been here for a whole week now! Wow, that is sooo strange! I arrived last Wednesday, and did all the unpacking type thing. My room is quite small but nice. I have my own bathroom which is great. I will post a picture of it when I get my digital camera that I bought before coming. Then that evening there was a beach party which involved lots of people dressing up in bikinis and shells and other strange costumes, and being half frozen all night! (cos is very cold here, well colder than London anyhow). Thursday, I had a whole day of lectures *yawn* about the course and what will be doing on the course and all the usual stuff. In the evening I went salsa dancing though, which was fantastic and well worth trying! I have joined the salsa club here and am going to do some every week! Well they will teach us how to dance it first! In order to do the salsa I missed the pub crawl round bath. But I'm not sure I really wanted to go to that anyway! Where am I, ohhh yes, Friday, well there were more boring lectures about the course, and I got my timetable for the term. Then there was the Oscars and casino night, which involved dressing up in slightly formal wear and partying again! Yey! On Saturday, I had a well deserved lie in! I can't really remember what I did do on Saturday; all I know is that it was the toga party and that we were all dressed up in sheets! (With clothes on underneath in my case!) Ohh I remember now that I went to watch the football in Bath with my flatmates. England won! Wooo! Sunday, I went into Bath to do treasure hunt! Unfortunately my team didn’t win but it was good fun all the same! Well perhaps a bit long. (It took us 3 hours!). Yesterday, Monday, lectures started of course. I had a law one which was actually very interesting, and then one in Spanish about business in Spain or something which was very boring! Then in the evening I went to my friends flat and we played with my diabolo all evening! Brilliant! And then we played a strange card game, which resembles solitaire showdown on msn. Thanks to Helen I was quite good at that! :-) Today I had one lecture on personal computing; it was a bit weird because we didn’t have any computers! Ohh well! But we will have tutorials to have the hands on practice, although this was only explained half way through the hour, so the leturer had some very confused students! The lecturer also told us that our first assignment was to make a webpage! I can't do that! Help! But anyway.... and then tonight Georgina is coming to visit me! Yey.

Well that is all really, I should go tidy my room a bit because it should be in an acceptable state for georgina when she arrives!
