Today was my first 'dry run' of being on campus- taking care of some of the admin related tasks: like upgrading my student ID, searching around for my classrooms, making sure that I've got a handle on my bus routes and topping up my card: all in all, a smashing success, even with a wait line of literally an entire hour to get my physical ID printed out to meander between buildings. Apparently grad access to buildings hasn't been emailed over yet, so I'm still waiting on that, in order to snoop around the department in particular.
Very tuckered out. I'm quite sleepy. Tomorrow is my first day of actual classes- just the one, but we'll see: fingers crossed that it all goes well. This is the one mandatory credit that everyone in the degree has to take, so it'll be a good chance to meet my classmates: I am planning on staying behind a bit after classes to say hi, try to be friendly. Also set up some other life related appointments today, so I'm looking forward to that next week... On the Tuesday again as well. Quite the quick intake, really.
I'm exhausted. Had some good pumpkin chunks, though, and I'm planning to have my favourite Korean black bean noodles for breakfast tomorrow. A friend of mine from undergrad is planning on hanging out for coffee after class, so yippee! I'm lookin forward to that. A little intimidated to be going to a brand new to me coffee shop, but it'll be a fun adventure with a pal.
