Freshers!

In a few hours, I have a formal ceremony called matriculation at the Cathedral here in Durham. It is a welcoming ceremony, a bit like graduaton but for entering rather than leaving the university. Then I feel as if I will officially be a member of Durham University!

I am half way through my Freshers Week now and I have to say, it really is such a great experience and the way ours is set up here makes it so easy to make friends and socialise. I have 5 'landing' mates who I share a bathroom with etc. and there are 24 other rooms in my block so when we all squeeze into one place and have a block party, it's a little cramped! I  also have people who I have met at our events during the week and people who are also doing Chemistry in my college so a wide circle already!

We had our societies fair yesterday too which was our chance to sign up to do all sorts of things from Chamber Choir to Debating to Lacrosse to Quidditch. To say there was a massive range and the place was total chaos would probably be an understatement.

I will post again soon, I have the pictures from my IKEA Haul but never got around to formulating a post for them as trying to get organised to move out took up a lot of my time.

Speak soon
