My New Life

Ok, so I been in boarding now for two days, and I have to say that I enjoy it quite a bit. I should clarify a few quick things before I continue though.

SHOWERS ARE NOT TIMED!!!! I was awfully happy to hear my boarding master say this when I arrived and now I spend as long as I feel necessary in the hower, which is shorter than at home.

The food isn’t actually that bad. Breakfast is the same at home, but with more variety, and lunch is pretty good. Dinner was very nice pasta except for maybe a little bit too much pepper. Others were complaining about the lamb stew so I know what to stay away from but overall, the food is quite nice. And, if I get hungry, I just eat what mum gave me for my room.

Now, during the night I haven’t slept the best because of the stupid clan of Myna Birds that lives in the trees outside the building. At 6am, on the dot, they begin screeching and don’t stop. I tend to wake up then and read until shower time.

Study isn’t bad at all. Having three hours makes me realise how much work I wasn’t doing when I rushed it at home. I was doing barely two hours, but in here I have enough to easily keep me going for three, even longer.

The one bad thing in the boarding house is that everyone already has their cliques, and it is a little awkward. I spent a while reading on the frst night, but have started to have good conversations with other guys nd they are all really nice. I actually wish I had a roomate because living by yourself is very boring in a room meant for two people.

Finally, the internet. I went without it for two days while my computer was getting set up but it was an ordeal in itself. First, IT managed to misplace my power cable so I spent the night with limited internet access. Then, today, I still couldn’t get on the internet so I had to ask friend in the BH to help me out. As it turns out, IT didn’t put on the porxy codes for my computer to be recognised and let through the firewall. Good work IT. But my friend did it andd now I can go on sites other than my home page.

Anyways, will post some more later, I have a meeting to attend.
