Domestic Changes

Wednesday 14th August 2012 - 12.15pm

Attempting to resolve not to update this blog every time a mundane affair takes place, evidently failing but that's a tribulation for another day, I guess. Today we transferred our belongings from our temporary accommodation at Offenhaur Tower to our permanent halls of residence. Attempting to move from one side of campus to another proved difficult and will be recalled as a painful experience at best. Second class citizen shit is fast growing tiresome and my patience is wearing thin. I eagerly await the commencing of class when the dust should have comfortably settled.
I now inhabit Harshman Anderson. A few of you have been asking how I like my room. It is relatively spacious in format, 10 x 15 feet to be specific. And looks a little something like this.
The halls are co-ed by floor, meaning there are some men kicking about but none have taken my fancy just yet. As you can see there is a sufficient amount of storage space. As a self-confessed hoarder, I took kindly to this.

Featured above is a visual encapsulation of the distinct lack of items I brought with me, here's home for the next 5 months. Some of my adoring fans may be interested to know, I am sharing my room with an American girl by the name of Alexis. In September last year, as I transitioned into university living I attempted to share my personal living space with a girl who I hold very dear to my heart now, but initially it did not prove successful as we had clashing sleep patterns, drinking habits and various other unironed issues. However, I hope not to come into such obstacles this time round, as previous to assignment, we both completed a room-mate compatibly quiz to ensure we shared similar retiring habits.

Harshman Anderson is adjacent to the 'rec center' meaning hopefully I'll be indulging in a bit of ice-skating, swimming and spin class from time to time. This, however, does not mean I will return a stick thin model, as my kryptonite is just around the corner. That's right, I'm in exceedingly close proximity to a McDonald's.

The weather here has depleted considerably over the passing days. On Sunday I casually acquired strap marks. Monday averaged around 76 degrees Fahrenheit or around 25 degrees C to you metric Brits out there. The last few days have been over-cast and prone to slight showers.

In reference to my avaricious request for payment, I have settled the reckoning of my Meal Plan and my accommodation but we are still waiting to hear back from the health insurance office concerning the outcome of our appeal to waive then insurance for the comprehensive accord Keele provide abreast the 'general fee' to the tune of $700. If all concludes itself ideally, we will only be paying a further $200 give or take.
