The title refers to my final initial change for the trip--moving out of temporary housing. These first few days have been quite busy, signing up for classes in a physical manner (walk to different departments), meeting my new flatmates (they're cool), learning the foreign kids' names (i haven't completely yet), and walking around (after jamming my foot before leaving the morning of my flight in Fayetteville, it's been one right pinky toe massage after the next). I'm getting somewhat used to the coin system, althought my wallet is a brick that jingles now. The coins to (from most valuable to worthless) big/fat/two-tone, small/fat/goldish, big/silver, small/hexagonal/silver, big/ribbed/silver, small/ribbed/silver, big/bronze, small/bronze. That's £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p, 1p. Lots of coins.
The temp house, Burwalls, has only 4 international students left in it, but it really seems more empty than occupied...garble garble aadofkneoinzcoiazb/neadfjk
I'm tired of writing tonight. I'll probably go head to bed and drink some water.
OH, btw. I went to the oldest pub in Bristol, the Hatchet Inn. They've had a license since 1606. It was old and charming...and then we entered and they were rocking out to death metal. One of the most unique atmospheres ever to have entertained my presence.
On other thing. I'm joining the UoB Expedition Society. Check out the website. This Wednesday we're going to the Bristol Climbing Centre, which is an old cathedral gutted into an indoor climbing gym. They just had an extra cathedral lying around. How European.

The cathedral looks fun. Look forward to hearing about your first day/week.

I don't know what is up with schools abroad and their "physically walking around to sign up for classes" issue. Singapore, as far as coins and signing up for classes goes, sounds similar. :-)
Please tell about classes.
