Well, that's my first week at university done with. Not too bad all in all - just so long as you don't mind having wo wake up when it's still freakin' dark out two days a week...
Nah, it's really not too bad. I like English Legal System (even if they have now combined it with Legal Study Skills so that the acronym is now ELSSS) and I like Contract, and that's all I have this semester. I only have to come in three times a week, and so far I'm not having any problems with what we're studying. Ok, I did most of it last year, but I've already forgotten most of that so it doesn't count.
Had to resist the urge to shout "Ikle Firsties!" whenever I saw nervous students poking their heads round the door of the lecture room to see if they could come in, and then diving away again and waiting for someone else to go in first, in case they had gotten the room all wrong (I just breezed in and was usually the very first one in the room, which would have given me the pick of the seats except I have to sit at the front anyway). I'm probably going to come down with Freshers' Flu some time in the next week or two, considering how many people there were coughing in my ELSSS lecture - including the guy sitting next to me, who I dubbed Coughing Joe the Amazing Expanding Student because not only did he cough almost non-stop, but he gradually spread his legs wider and wider during the course of the two-hour lecture, expanding more and more into my space until my legs were very nearly in the aisle.
Had a meeting with my personal tutor this morning as well, as well as a bunch of other people on the course. There's about 30 people doing the course this year, which is quite a lot, so we've been split into four groups. Despite this, people kept being surprised to see someone they hadn't seen before in the meeting, and I had two people ask me if I was doing the course, and then, when I answered in the affirmative, said, "But I've not seen you in lectures!", as if I should have been sitting in a lecture room of 150 or so students with a big neon sign above my head for ease of identification. They're going to get really confused when they realise I'm only turning up to half the classes...
Nothing till Tuesday now. Rest...
