Uni Life
Uni life is about to go into full swing tomorrow. Lectures start this week, and following a short introduction to various modules on Monday, actual teaching will begin for me in the morning.
Most of the infamous 
C-Unit are now out at a Freshers party in one of the clubs in Hull. I and a few others are still here though so as to make sure we get up in time to travel onto the campus for an early start. Quite a few of us are also still tired from the dawn chorus this morning, when the fire officer thought it might be fun to have a fire drill at 6:40 am. Thankfully everyone dragged themselves out of bed and into the quad in enough time to not have to do the drill again some other time. We were warned on the first day that an early drill was on the way, and following a drill at a different hall the day before we were kind of expecting it this morning, but it still wasn’t exactly fun.
It’s good to have the internet in my room here in the halls, but there are still a few problems with it. I’m still unable to connect to the internet through various pieces of software. Mozilla Firefox and MSN Messenger however are working fine…the essentials. 
Yesterday was the first meeting of the wind band here at the uni. We’ve only got two pieces to play at the moment, but one of them is a piece I’m really quite fond of. We’re playing the “Second Suite in F” by Gustav Holst which is a piece I’ve played for the last couple of years in DSSB (Doncaster Schools Symphonic Band), and although I’m sadly not able to play in that band any more, the memories will live on through playing this fantastic piece! Lots of fun indeed, especially the final movement.
Time now to catch up on some sleep I think, and also to try and take my mind away from this nasty cold I seem to be coming down with. It seems it’s doing the rounds at the moment so I hope it passes shortly. Either way, it’ll not keep me home for long. I’ll be back in Asylum (the club at the uni) for Tower tomorrow night. Bring on the party…
