Janurary 18th: First Day in the Dorm and Wandering, Trying not to get lost
Well, I got all moved in on Sunday and we bought some groceries for me and set me up all alone in my dorm room
. It felt very lonely and I wanted to cry lots and just go home at first. But, I moved the furniture around a little bit and that helped a lot. I moved the bed by the window and that always makes me feel better!
The way the room was before was just dumb becuase there’s a ledge thing all along the window wall and someone put the shelf like diagonally against that, what a waste of space and just didn’t feel good at all. Maybe it was block my CHI! lol.
But, after I got myself settled it wasn’t so bad and I ate my pre-made soup and went to bed after talking to some people on the internet. Which sucks btw. I wanted to watch a movie on here to make myself feel more at home, but I can’t stream anything and you can’t really download anything, so I was out of luck. But, apparently, there’s a good site to get movies off of. But anyways..
Today, I felt like NOT getting out of bed because this bed is EXTREMELY comfy. Yes, this horrible dorm bed is really comfy. And I didn’t want to get up
. But, I did because I had to as there was orientation at 130. I thought about taking the bus, but I decided to try and figure out the walk there, plus I’d kind of get the sense of where I am more. At the moment I’m just totally clueless and lost, of course. So, I had a nice walk and I took at few pictures of the nature, which is very nice. The walk also made me feel a lot better because of all the pretty nature around. Hmm, someone above me has huge feet, I can hear them walking around. Anyways, yes I walked to the university and I somehow managed to find this Lecture Hall thing and I sat and listened to all the important stuff for orientation. I met one girl there who is very nice. Her name is Maria and she’s from Eastern Germany! We exchanged phone numbers after we had a nice long conversation and also got online information! Hopefully, we’ll be going to the pub tomorrow night together! Everyone seems to love their jager here, so I’m guessing that’s what we’ll be around the most.
After that, I walked home and one of my room-mates was actually out. It was a Swedish guy from here! Me and him ate supper together and then another Swedish girl that lives here joined us for a bit and we had some drinks together. Then I met the exchange student in our dorm that’s also from Germany. She seems very nice. But, after that I was pretty exhuasted with information overload so I went to my room to relax and sleep. I feel asleep for two hours then Brendon texted me to walk up to chat on Skype for an hour while he had internet priviledges. So, I talked to him for a bit.
And now, I’m up at 540 in the morning because I can’t sleep and I’m writing in my blog talking to Bettyanne on Facebook. I made her promise to buy a webcam so I can see my little Jackson
. Because I MISS HIM SO MUCH. Nephews are just too cute, are they not? Well, at LEAST mine is, BE JEALOUS! Anyways, that’s all I got for now. Tomorrow I’m going into the centre with Jessica to buy some essentials and more food then back to the Uni for some more student stuff at 6pm. My one class doesn’t start till this Wednesday and the other one that I have doesn’t start till next Wednesday! Yay, I was going to sleep in today, but that failed. Talk to you all tonight.
Love,
Amie
