Residence Hall

Exciting news to report on the homefront. After a lazy breakfast this morning I went, as I usually do, to check my email. Despite being told that I would not find out my housing until I arrived in Bristol, low and behold, there it was in my inbox this morning. What a beautiful way to start the day, don't you think?

My official place of residence is University Hall. From what I can tell there are two types of rooms within the hall: a) standard rooms (5 single study bedrooms with a shared kitchen and bath) or b) en suite rooms (6 single study bedrooms with a shared kitchen but en suite bath). The email didn't specify what type of room I would have. Either way, I am confident that it will work out.

After looking at a map of campus I am fairly certain that I will have to walk a decent amount to class. I'm reminded of last semester when I could (of course I never did, though...) roll out of bed ten minutes before class and briskly walk from Melrose to the science buildings in 6 minutes flat. Sadly this will not be the case as the website has said that from U Hall to the University precint is about a thirty five minute walk. No worries people! Walking is good and it is all part of the adventure. (More details and pictures to come)

My address, in case you feel compelled to send me notes of affection or sweet treats, is:
