the first week

Hehe, after one week I found the time to tell you all what I have been up to here. The first week was very hectic, but a lot of fun! Saturday September 18th my journey began. First from home to Schiphol airport, there I met with Milou. Who is also an exchange student from Tilburg University going to Bradford. Eventhough it was hard to say goodbye, it didn't feel like I was saying goodbye for 5 months. I felt like I was going on vacation.

After a short flight, Milou and I arrived in Bradford. There we were picked up by some students from the University and brought to our new homes. They were very helpfull, they wouldn't even allow me to carry my own suitcase. Wich was very nice haha. Arrived at my room, I immediately texted Milou to go to the city to do our first groceries for getting settled. We forgot to buy a lot of things. Luckily the stores were open on sunday to! In the evening we went to Student Central. It is a really cool place for student, at the campus just next to the library, accros my flat. Students can come here to play some pool, table football, hang out, have a drink at one of the 4 different bars in 4 the different rooms and ofcourse party! It is a new place, and on sunday evening we had the official opening party of Student Central. Very nice with a mini casino and chocolate fundue. After a few hourse of sleep, on moday we had the induction at Bradford University. It was a day full of getting new information, standing in cues (lots and lots of cues) to arrange everything, take a picture for the student card and stuff like that.

Then the bad news comes, I got really sick on Tuesday (I will never eat free pizza in my life again) and stayed in bed for 2 days.
Thursday was the inducation at the School of Management, which is were my lectures will be taught. It's a beautifull school, looks like a sort of a castle. There again we had more information and we had to choose the courses we want to take, received our schedule etc. etc.

In the free time that we have I went with my new friends and Milou ofcourse to to the university cinema, a small lecture/cinema room, where you can watch free movies! I Finally saw Avatar. And ofcourse we did some more partying at Student Central.
We also did some sight seeing in York, the capital city of Yorkshire. It's a very Beautiful and old city with many castles, a huge church, and the old city wall.

On monday lectures will start, so the more serious life will begin again!
