Bangor Uni: Week 2

So had my first classes this week and I've got to say, I love them :D I was really worried because I've not had any formal education in my field but luckily all my own personal research and backpacking to the historical sites related to the things I'm studying has put me on a similar level to the newly educated students, thank god xD

First day though the room for Apocalypse Then: 14th century was so much more popular than the teacher anticipated a lot of students (me included) had to sit on the floor. Memories... 

I also visited and fell in love with the library, it looks like Hogwarts! I'll add pictures after the holiday though (forgot my camera) and got a personal tour (it took me an hour to find a book, the system is new) not knowing we were getting a tour next week by teachers! I was a little preemptive here

Tuesday I did modern history and now have a favourite teacher, he answers every question I think of and is already talking about dates and events for the exam! I feel so much more prepared now

Wednesday and Thursday was my epiphany days (when I realised I was in control of my own learning) I've been doing so much research since. I even finished my bibliography to get out of the way, I felt weirdly good. Education is super satisfying XD it's like when you get achievements in Dragon Age! 

Friday was my lazy day, and rewarded myself by watching Snow White and the Huntsman (great film) and made friends with a girl that just arrived at my dorm - I didn't realise that a friend was what I needed to finally feel settled but my Uni experience has completly improved now that I have a gym/pier buddy xD I'll tell you about that in week 3's post though :)

Weekend was amazing, I skyped Mum and then Chris and Mum together! It made me so happy :) I didn't realise how homesick I was before (moving out is so different than moving away) so skype has been a godsend

Wow, so this is the last (I hope) of any negative aspects of university life. But preparing for homesickness is impossible, its a sneaky fog that creeps on you. I reccomend pictures (I didn't bring any but I'm soon going to fix that) and some home comforts: like blankets and childhood toys

So thats all my advise, so ciao for now x
