Today was my first day at uni! We left the Travelodge in Doncaster at about 9:30 and got to Durham spot on 11:30 (with a mid-way break for elevenses) It took about an hour to get to St. Johns from the edge of Durham because of the traffic. When I arrived I was shown to a room and it was explained to me (many times!) that this was not my actual room because when they had tried to open my room this morning the key had got stuck and the room would not open. They hope to break down the door (gently!) tomorrow and then I can choose which room to stay in, apparently. I have met Gemma (Maths), Frances (Natural Sciences), Steph (Chemistry), Lottie (sport), Jane (Chemistry), Ed (Modern Languages), James (Theology), ‘Rory’ (Law). Everyone seems nice so far. I spent much of the afternoon in James and Rory’s room talking to them as I have a single room and I can’t unpack as I don’t know how long I’m staying here if at all! We had an inside BBQ, I went to see Gemma and Jane’s rooms, and I got shown where my real room is (I prefer the location of my temporary one..) I’m off to bed now as I spend the evening downstairs in the bar overspill talking. I’ve bought a gown, a fresher’s t-shirt with the names of all the johns freshers on the back, and JCR membership. I don’t really know what’s happening as my information pack is locked in my actual room. Hopefully my timetable will be enough for a while.
