First Days at Keele University

 Description of first night


Now I came to university via a lift with my parents, brother & sister, I do not understand why they all came I expected to just be dropped off with my stuff but no, I had to suffer through 5 hours, now when I got here I saw my house neighbours right near my door, that was when I first met them all, seems like a group of respectable people taking a large variety of subjects, pretty much straight away we left from where I am staying Hawthorns to the Student Union to go to the Ice breakers party, The night began playing some pool against my flat mates while enjoying the very cheap beer at the bar. Later on that night, we left the bar and went to the ballroom which looked like a very serious ravey nightclub where you could not hear anything and flashing lights with loud Music, there was also an outside area for when we got too hot, which was just some stairs at the back to a large area of benches the only problem was the queue for the bar it was that packed it would have took 10 minutes to get a drink. The small group I was with got back at about 2 but out house mates were just relaxing on the stairs until 3 in the morning.

Description of my block / room

 The two photos on the left are me standing at either end of my room, I understand it's not the cleanest of rooms but I suppose it is my home!, My block has 2 bathrooms one on the 3rd floor & one of the first each bathroom contains 2 toilets, 1 shower & 1 bath and these are all to share between the 35 people in my block, the two bottom floors are for males whereas the two top floors are for females for separation of bathrooms, on the second floor is the kitchen
which has 4 fridges, 2 cookers, 2 kettles & I believe 2 microwaves when we get here we allocate our selves with one shelf, 1 fridge section & 1 freezer section









Current Situation


I normally end my blog with a current situation so I figured I would not break tradition, I am currently sat in my Room very sleepy as I was up at 8 for the free breakfast that turned out to be just a piece of fruit and a croissant!, after that we all went to the sports fair I signed up for Lacrosse, Rowing, Archery, Basketball & Swimming which seems alot but they're just taster sessions! so should be fun. After that we went to the festival opening which had Keeles bands playing which were very good! & various activities around like football and bouncy castle like events. Tomorrow will be introductory lectures! so that should be fun meeting class mates, Thank you for reading i'll post again next week!
