lace_agateWell, I've survived my first two weeks at uni and I'm starting to feel slightly less overwhelmed by it all. It's surprising how few familiar faces there are around the place. I mean, there are quite a few people I know, but I don't see much of them, even the ones I share lectures with. And then straight after the lecture everyone's rushing off in different directions and you don't get much chance to talk to people unless your two-hour gap between lectures happens to overlap with theirs.
In terms of content I'm enjoying all my courses (I'm taking Political Science, Earth Science and Geography and I'll be picking up International Relations next semester). It's a pain having to catch the bus at 7:30 am for a 9 o'clock lecture, though. If I ever get an 8 o'clock lecture I'm moving into town.
The highlight so far has been the letters page of the weekly student magazine. They publish anything and everything. Currently there's a debate going on between three gamers as to which of them is the most 1337, people sending in random poetry, trolls, complaints about first years being n00bs, first years complaining about being called n00bs, letters all in lowercase with multiple!!!! exclamation!!!! marks!!!!, lolcat-speak, in-jokes and more.
I'm going to get really fit walking up the hill every day. I decided I'd only take the cable car if the weather was foul, so that I can save money and get fit all at once. The only downside is that I turn up for my nine o'clock lecture out of breath and with very sore calf muscles, but that will improve.
Mood-wise, I'm all over the place. I guess that's understandable, but it's pretty tiring. I'm OK, though, mostly.

Also, that 1337/n00b discussion over the student magazine sounds a little... weird? Idk, but it's not the kind of stuff I'd expect in a uni magazine, maybe in a high school one xD
(but i haven't gone to uni yet, so I can't really have any expectations of this nature, I suppose :P)
