"First impression; Last impression"

First impressions are everything and to be honest walking on Campus on the first week was very daunting...I didn't know what to expect. I looked odd and 'felt' every ones eyes on me....I was very apprehensive and felt like a child on the first day of school. I constantly checked my timetable to be sure that i was @ the right place.

I kept my gaze down and minded my own business...all I can remember are groups of people on the corners of the street with placards and freebies....I remember seeing a mascot and the welcome party for Freshers.....Campus was absolutely packed out..I walked the grounds of Campus 'on my own' exploring the buildings and becoming familiar with the new surroundings.



I walked beyond the Portland building and found a quiet area...I had two hours to kill off....and no car (because there is never any parking) so I sat on a bench and read a book and watched the swans glide along the water...but it was FREEZING so I decided to go into town...eventually I went to town and wandered around a few shops and ended up in Waterstones where I treated myself to 3 for 2 book offer....I haven't yet made any serious 'study buddies' but hope to do in the coming weeks.....
