So I can't believe I've been here for 6 days. It seems so unreal to me. The first six days have been spent partying and getting to know my flatmates and the great thing is we seem to get along fine. Which is good.... since in the total Severn Hall there are like 25 or 30 of us and when we go out it's massive!!! Plus we tend to pick up the guys from the flat beside us as well. But I'm also looking forward to classes, which start tomorrow. I have one class Monday, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday and one on Thursday. My class on Friday is from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. so shouldn't be to bad, then the flatmates are going out for "filthy Mondays" so should be pretty fun. I've been uploading pictures galore to facebook... or at least attempting to, lol. But you know shit happens and I tend to just be soaking in things more than anything.... this place is incredible in its own sense... and I'm thrilled to be here. I can't wait to start traveling but I'm going to wait until I get through my first week of modules (aka classes) before I start booking things... I know I'm going to a couple of places with a couple of different people, so should be fun. Plus I've got two weeks of travel for Spring Break and there's another week off called Learning week, so can travel then... not to mention that if you don't have examinations, then you don't have school the last week... so plenty of travel time then as well.... PLUS I don't have classes on Friday soooooo I can travel every other weekend if I wanted to... which there is a REALLY good possibility of that happening! Hahahaha! So we'll see I have to be careful with how much money I spend and all of that... but I want to see and do as much as I can. The teaching methods are a supposed to be different too. You don't get loads of assignments, you get two major ones one due before learning week and the other one at the end of the semester. So should make things a bit easier.... though I do have two classes that have exams. Oh well... I'll still excel. At least I am hoping so... our guy was telling us that only a low percent of the school population gets an A. That when they used to give out actual grades when students who came to America from England came back the administration would change an A to a B, because the grading scale was sooo different. So yeah, I'm definitely still going to have to work my butt off, but that's something I'm quite used to! Oh well for now it's time to update my studyabroad blog and then off to bed, because I'm trying to get to bed early... yes anything before 2 a.m. would be considered early this week!!!
