It is time!

At last, it has begun.  Last night I arrived at Warsash feeling nervous but excited about what was in store for me.  My only dread was of that initial feeling of being lost before a routine kicks in.  Accomodation is a reasonably small shared room with a bunk bed, a sink, drawers, wardrobe, and an inredible view that looks out over the Hamble (see sunset photo).  The view was lucky, as the people that have the otherside look over the paved campus and it's not that exciting.  The campus is small, but with some great buildings, good views, and good facilities.  In the evening after we'd unpacked roughly, entertainment was layed on in the form of a live band at the bar.  They did some good covers and we had a good night to kick things off.

Today went reasonably slowly with a lot of time being spent going through rules and regulations, a tour of the campus, and getting familiarised with how things work here.  The 'muster' this morning was at 8:15am to check everyone was present and this was great for me as I didn't have to wake up until 7am, plus no commute into work!  Shortly after waking up I looked into the breakfast scene.  You're allowed three items plus unlimited drinks and the choice is vast.  I had a full cooked breakfast, cereal, banana, coffee and fruit juice.  I felt fairly stuffed after all that!  Food is very good (done by ARAMARK) and they are very open to discussion and suggestion on foods and the running of the bar etc.  I made the suggestion of guest ales in the bar which they are looking into.  I think it is something everyone would quite like.

Anyway, Maths exam tomorrow so need to study last three items not done, then go for a run and go to bed.  I've put some photos on here of uniform and bits of the campus to give you an idea.
