Well, things have certainly picked up a bit here now. Officially things kicked off last Wednesday with the introductory lecture for international students at the uni, followed by a quick tour of campus. Since then I’ve had the first half of a block-seminar on German literature, and this week has seen the onset of lectures proper. It’s been a bit of a shock to the system, what with not having been in university for 4 months, but I think I’m getting used to it, and my courses so far seem ok. The international committee here isn’t as active on the social side as it was in Västerås, but I was out last weekend with a few friends from my seminar, and I have to say the nightlife here does look promising. All hail the great German Biergarten! There’s an international welcome party on Saturday too (3 and a half weeks after I arrived…), and I’m fairly booked up with lectures and the like until then, so it looks like I’ll be all go for the next few days…woo! Next week I intend to find somewhere to swim, as it occurs to me I’ve not done this in quite a while. Hopefully this should be up on the internet fairly soon after I’ve written it, as it’s going on my pen-drive with the intention of uploading it at uni, so updates will be more…up to date in future!
