Back again.

I am pathetic at this blog. Terrible, actually. Everyday I think: huh, I should probably update my faithful readers (cause I have faithful readers, of course) about my wonderfully British experiences.

So here goes:

I have been at UEA for a little over a month now. Crazy! Because I am far too lazy to give day-by-day instant replays of my adventures, and because you probably have no interest in hearing them, I will give the Sparknotes version instead.

1. Fresher's Week. Being the only people on a fairly large campus and not having to go to module's was quite devine. Met tons of people whose names I have in my phone but can't remember their face, and have never run into them on campus again, and probably never will.
2. This campus is ugly. But then again I guess we at HWS are spoiled with it's gorgeous lake and 'old' buildings with lushes patches of grass mmm. Here is literally a concrete jungle. There are concrete walkways connecting buildings that are literally windows and slabs of gray. I am in a pretty nice building though, they are like pyramids ohhh that are glass zigzags. So green, these buildings, that they tend to over heat and come with a fan. There is a nice lake on campus that I like to run around and hope I don't fall in. Then one day I discovered a marsh with horses that I am convinced are wild but are probably actually not, and a cool river with a bridge with tons of graffiti which is just waiting to be the set of a hipster photo shoot.
3. Courses bahhh. I like don't go to class, but only because I don't have class. That is a lie. I go to 6 hours a week. And all of my coursework is either due in this week or at week twelve, so I really have loads of free time, which is perfect for my latest hobby which is...
7. Ultimate frisbee. Yut yut. You may be going 'Gaby does not play organized sports' which is very true, except frisbee is just so fun. I am throwing lefty so am kind of questionable but eh, it has proven sufficient.
8. The city of Norwich is quite nice. It is out in the middle of nowhere and apparently there is loads of incest that occurs between the locals and if you look close enough you can tell they are all related but I have not yet noticed that. There is a Top Shop here, in which I have to show excellent self-restraint and control or else I will buy the entire store. Thank god for the 10% student discount.
9. I eat probably a pound of Cadbury chocolate per day mmm. Luckily I have to pay 1.50 to get into the gym so when I go I do everything possibly to get my money's worth, so I like to think the chocolate is worked off everyday.
10. I still haven't picked up an English accent, if anything I have developed a Canadian one. Which is silly. Also I will never pick up on an English accent because my American one is sooo strong, or so I am told.

Another post to follow.

Enjoy the day.
