Settled!

Yoooo!

Well, I'm finally settled into my new "home" for the next 5 mos. It's the absolute last dorm that I wanted, but it's really not that bad. The 20 minute walk every morning/evening is going to kill me, but I met some int'ls that are here, and we're gonna make a pact to walk together to most things. The people in my building are CRAZY though! In a good kind of way! I was greeted with a beer and alt. music, so they're all right in my book. Most of the girls keep to themselves, but I've met quite a few guys. I'll turn it into a proper co-ed frat house soon enough!

The first night, I went to the Snyde Arms, which is a quaint little pub (the kind one sees in theatres, mainly) that attracts a lot of locals, so I got to meet some non-uni people, as well. I had too much fun that night and overslept for my orientation the next day...it's OK, I was only an hour late, got everything I needed, and I won't be doing it again as I have an alarm clock now! I went shopping with the other int'ls, which was a lot of fun. I also got a lot of essentials that I needed, so I felt better after coming back (glad to have my phone, especially!) Tonight, I went to the Students Union, which has various bars, lounges, and nightclubs. It was toga-themed tonight...I'm so mad I left my toga at home! I would've been the only one reppin' the black and gold! WHO DAT! (I got into a fight with two Americans over the Saints...don't worry, I defended my boys valiantly!) Everyone seems really cool, though, and I can't wait to meet more of the actual Keele students!
