Home away from home
Well, I finally found a flat for my wife and I. And wouldn't you know it, the same day I collect the keys I get an e-mail from the Accommodation office here offering me a family room. Go figure. Still, the extra two weeks here have given me a chance to acclamate a bit more than the other new students (I was the first to arrive, two weeks earlier than anyone else), get to know some of the returning grad students and staff, etc.
I've started settling in, but it's still not home. My Lady's still in the States, and I can't really think of it as "Home" until she's here.
I've heard a lot of complaints from other international students about British food, but so far I don't know what they're talking about. I haven't had something I didn't like or didn't agree with me since I got here.
I still don't have a phone or internet at the flat, so I've got to walk to the Uni to access the Net. Good excersize, I suppose. That about does it for an update, other than settling in I've been working on my first Latin assignment.
Cheers,
Nick
