Well, it's been a week and a half. I'm starting to get in the swing of things despite the randomness of the schedule. Here's a typical day: I get up at 7:30, board the bus at 8:10 and arrive at school around 8:40. Bus 8!! It stops 2 blocks from the flat and Summerhall. Lecture usually runs from 9 to 10:50 with a small break. Practicals/tutorials are in the afternoon, usually no more than 3 times a week. It's a pretty light schedule considering this is vet school.
Foodwise, it's been mostly sandwiches and pasta which is getting boring. i ate all of snacks from the plane ride over...no more beef jerky and peppered baked lays. I need to organize the fridgie thing to fit in ready-made meals (yes, I am lazy). Restaurant choices are limited as well, the nearest Mexican food being a 15 minute walk away. Meat is a prized commodity as it keeps me full and happy. Carbs, not so much. Although, Tesco makes the BEST pancakes!!! They are specifically "American Style" with slightly sweet taste. Eventually, I will learn how to cook. Steaks and cajun chicken strips are on the menu next week!
Because I'm in private accommodations, bills have to get paid SO no heat yet. My room sits on the top corner of the building and gets down to 59 F...lots of socks and layers to bed. Also, the cold doesn't make getting up any fun. I would turn it on but nobody has told me how to use the radiator.
I haven't had a lot of free time yet. Most of it is taken up shopping from school stuff, food and flat stuff. Of course, when I'm supposed to be studying, I indulge in some Psych watching.
Sleepy time now!
