Rain, rain and a little more rain.
Gosh did it rain.
Such a shame as we had the most amazing welcome planned for us with a beautiful marquee set up on the Pembroke lawn. Awfully posh. I felt it sounded just a little Royal.
Excitedly, I straightened my hair to its finest smoothness just that morning and was happy to hear that my new found friend Jules has also done the same. Neither of us with an umbrella.
Both of us taking cover in the marquee. Bravely. As no one else was!
They were shyly braving the rain!
Bacon rolls for brunch. Yum. Slight issue there with my gluten allergy. I ate just a rasher of bacon.
Becky sat with me who was another human nutrition student. She was struggling to eat too as she was vegetarian. Chatting with new friends, all seemed to be going well. There was so much to take in on this new day. Imagining this must be what it's like to move into the Big Brother house on channel 5 tv. Everyone getting to know each other while at the same time being on our best behaviour. Missing my friends from my old university in this week was a huge challenge. I was so glad Kathy was there. She was a friendly and familiar face from the last university.
Yet I wished my Muna and Sheyma were here. My comfort blankets. That was all. I would have to learn to get along without them.
The staff we met on this first week all seemed so professional, smart and totally passionate about their subjects and their university. Buildings all around with beautiful red brick, steeped in history of days gone by when this was a historic dockyard. The place is just stunning. Surrounded by trees and other green life giving forces. Opening my eyes to see such beauty more and more as I learn details of the science behind life. I think I'm going to like it here.
