Fresher's week: Day 4

Remember what I said in my last post about the possibility of today being dull?

REALLY should have known better.

First things first, I was nearly late for breakfast, but that was my own dumb fault for not setting my alarm to the right time. Oops... :P

The rest of the morning was chewed up by this lovely little thing called module registration. Essentially you just go to the relevant department and tell them your module choices. (which you've already fully confirmed online ANYWAY I might add). Some good things did come out of this however, for one, I got to meet my "Academic Advisor" for maths, Dr. Bowcock. Baker, I know you just recovered from Stoke's post, but you can stop giggling now.

Put mildly, he seems quite utterly mad. But that's okay, mathematicians are aloud to be.

Next I went to register my physics modules and in the process was forced to buy the following monstrosity... for 41 pounds!

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a 1500 page physics textbook.

And yes, I did nerdgasm.

Next up, a bunch of friends from my corridor were going down to town to get various supplies, which  I quite frankly needed. (Bathmats, yay!) However, like the grade A IDIOT that I am, I went out in a t-shirt. Rain happened. I got wet.

Fortunately, the official university waterstones shop was at hand! Subsequently, I was forced to by the following monstrosity... for 35 pounds!

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a forest green Durham University hoodie.

And yes, I was kidding about it being a monstrosity. It's actually quite awesome.

You think I'm done? Oh no, just an hour ago, there was an evening performance in the dining room from a man named Adam Night.

Adam Night is a hypnotist.

Have you ever seen 16 grown people, some wearing what looked like bedsheets, (apparently there was a toga party going on. What the hell is a toga party!?) imagining they're all milking cows? Or riding horses? Or watching a pornographic film? Yeah, I thought so. It was bloody hilarious.

All in all, today was certainly NOT dull. But it was tiring. Sleepy time.

Until tomorrow.
