Option #1: Englaaaaand, I'm finally here!
Option #2: Yes, the adventure has finally started (ugh especially hate this one)
Option #3: Guess where I am!
Yeah, let's not bother with any of those. It has been such a busy week, but it has been great as well. For those unaware, I recently moved to Exeter for my semester of studying abroad, and I'll probably write about it regularly on here.
So yeah, Exeter. I won't say it's a coastal town, but it has an impressive amount of seagulls. I was rather expecting the city to be ugly - going of on things I'd heard from other people - but it's actually not that bad. There are some really nice spots in the city centre, and they have a really cute park.
The university is just really impressive, it's huge for one, and the library has some seriously high-tech equipment. I'm not kidding, they have an entire room filled with mega tablets placed in tables which you can use to mess around with, or study - whichever one you fancy.
Fresher's week has been good, certainly not as intense as the Dutch one, but it was nice that you could pick the events you wanted to go to yourself - although this was also a bit overwhelming at times. We explored the campus, cried about our still not confirmed courses with several members of staff, and signed up for some societies. I signed up for archery, which I'm pretty excited about. I don't think I'll get another chance to try it, so I couldn't miss that opportunity.
All in all, England turns out to be quite a strange country. When it comes to shopping, some things are really cheap whilst others cost a surprising amount of money. The bread is definitely inferior to the bread at home, and don't even get me started on the tap water (I should probably get over this but I'm not over it yet). Oh how you realise how nice the Netherlands truly is when you spend time abroad. On the other hand they have some really nice shops here that I am desperate to go to but too broke to actual spent money at right now.
Tomorrow is quite an important day, as I might be able to finally secure a place on an English course, but for now it's just hoping for the best.
Oh on a final note, English people turn out to be especially awkward dancers.
