Day 2

Dinner

Mmmm. Baked potato.

Last Night

We did a mini-orientation with our RA, Patricia -- basic stuff, like respecting the apartments and all that, and then the RAs took a big bunch of us down to the Barge, a pub along the canal. I wound up sitting with Maggie, one of my flatmates, and three guys who live next door: Jared, Henry and Dennis.

The RAs had warned all of us not to wander off by ourselves, so when Jared wanted to come back and fix himself some dinner, I decided to come with him. It was raining really hard, and we got a bit lost. By the time we made it back to our flats, we were soaked. (And it's still raining and windy. I should investigate getting an umbrella.)

Today

I didn't sleep too well, so I got up at 7 a.m. -- the first one up. We're supposed to leave to walk to the
IES center at 8:30, but so far no one else is up and it's 8:08. Perhaps I should go wake them up.
