Life at Uni

Today was my first day of classes and I really enjoyed it. After I introduced myself the professor already knew what school I was from and said he had a great experience with the Mounties he met last summer. I know I've got a tough act to follow but I intend to try my best. Our normal lecture hall (apparently other schools have lecture halls and use them for more than just events and science students) was not available today so there were about twenty-five of us crowded into a seminar room that was not designed to accommodate that many students comfortably. So far I feel like my liberal arts core curriculum background has more than prepared me for what we are going to cover in that class. Thanks Mount! 

I also spent some time walking around town this morning. The local mall is only about a ten minute walk away, and the local grocery store is just beyond that. I want to spend some time trying new foods over here. I've been trying to reach beyond my comfort zone in the cafeteria and I did have Hungarian Pork Stew for lunch today. Something that highly amuses me is the amount of snacks that are clearly for tea. Also Lays are totally a thing here but carry a different brand name. I also want to see what does and doesn't taste the same over here. (I had M&Ms the other day that I swear do not taste the same but everyone else thought they were fine.)

Here is a view of the Cam and some people punting. I only stopped by the river for a short time but I'm sure I'll be back soon enough.
