No matter how different things are here, one thing is the same: a college campus is a college campus.
I'm sitting in the library looking over 'The Parade', which is the equivalent of OSU's Quad and people-watching while pop-music streams in from the open doors. Everyone is milling about while clubs and sports teams recruit for the year. THAT part is a little different, however: the fencing club is right in front of me poking each other with epees.
Speaking of campuses, this one is beautiful. Huge grassy fields, tons of trees, and a duck pond make it into a combo OSU & Central Park. I'm thrilled to know I didn't pick an ugly campus! I was able to get a deluxe tour of campus this morning as I wandered around looking for the building that hosted my first orientation meeting. Fortunately I've learned to live with myself and left my room 45 minutes early to accommodate my lack of directional abilities.
[Side note: I may join the water polo team...or at least motivation to join the water polo team just stopped in front of my window, wearing his water polo shorts (Read: male booty shorts) and six-pack abs.]
I found a small 'grocery store' on campus, but the name is deceiving. This 'grocery store' is about 1 part grocery and 2 parts alcohol. And it's situated about 2 buildings down from the library. Clearly these Brits have the whole 'studying' thing figured out.
On that note, I'm off to go try and find the buildings in which I must complete registration. I only have 2 hours until my next orientation meeting and goodness knows I'll need that entire time to find anything on campus. It's not a big campus...it's just that I'm me & I'm perpetually lost.
Cheers!
