Today is exactly three weeks that I am here, and it only keeps getting better.
Two weeks ago my first classes started, I got my schedule and was very happy when I saw that I only had to go to school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So I get to have a very long weekend. Classes here only take on hour. It goes by so quickly! I am used to the three hours lectures at Tilburg University. That is something that I really like, because I am someday that gets bored quite quickly, its good for me now that I can keep my attention at the lecture, the entire lecture. I have 6 courses to take, every course has one lecture of an hour and one tutorial. There are two courses of which the lecture takes two hours, but in these cases there is no tutorial. The lectures are very interessting, lecturers now how to make it sound interesting and also it seems that they are more practical here, with a lot of case studys.
So I already got some home work to prepare but I keep on postponing it. It is soo much fun here! The people are very friendly and open. ALways asking you where you're from, if you like it in Bradford, if I have any friends. And its very easy to get to know people, last night we had an exchange party for all the Erasmus Students. So you can meet all the other exchange students, we did some ice-breaker 'get to know each other' games. In such a small period of time I've met so many people from all over the world.
However, I also met a lot of local people. Here in Bradford there are a lot of people from Pakistan. They took me out, for some food (which was very good) and some Asian tea. The tea had a very different flavour but it was nice.
I still love Student Central here, on the campus. In the evenings we go out to play some pool ( I still haven't got any better) and last night we had another FND (Friday Night Disco).
I did some sightseeing to, the last two weeks, we went to Leeds and to Manchester. Leeds is very good for shopping, but Manchester is even better. We had so much fun in Manchester, we went to a museum and got dressed up like women from the 19th century, taking crazy pictures, making the other guest of the museum looking and laughing at us.
Last wednesday evening, we did drinking games here. They are better here then in the Netherlands, they have the most funny games and in the end everyone just got crazy. But it was hilarious.
And last thursday I went clubbing in the city centre for the first time. I had a great evening, but what I didn't now at the beginning was that the british version of Jackass would come to the club to do some stunts. I have seen very, very, very, crazy things that evening. At some point I couldn't even watch it, but luckily afterwards they played very good music and I again had a great time.
you'll here more from me soon!
