Since one month...

It has been already a month since my master course started.

My lifestyle has been pretty much settled.

Well, in a quite negative sens though...

This is it !

What did you understand from the photo ?

Answers:

1. Read books and journal articles recommended for each class

2. Complete assignments (essay) for each class

3. Revise what I did not understand during classes

4. Preparation of seminar of each class

5. Read additional literature that professors recommended in a class

What else I do ? 

Well, eat and sleep.

By the way, the number 5 has not been done at all actually...

" sleep → eat → reading・classes・assignments → eat →reading・classes・assignments → eat → sleep "

I have never yet been to 50 m swimming pool at university ! 

What a shame !!!

I have never experienced such life...

But I have no choice !

I am still struggling a lot to understand classes in English as well...

I can't wait for "reading week" with no class on 2nd week of November !

New life in Nowrich

I have been very lazy to update my blog, sorry...

Because I moved to Norwich on September 23rd, where my university is then from the next day of moving, orientation programme started followed by the start of courses on Monday.

Everyday, time flies so fast with so much new information and preparation of each modules.

Plus, for the first 10 days since my arrival, everyday it rained.

I finally experienced typical British weather : after a short sunshine, it starts raining...

So the first thing that I bought was a folding umbrella.

Everyday when I leave my room, I take it with me even though it is nice weather at that time.

The non-stop new information with lots of work exhausts me but the courses are quite interesting.

My university is located in very countryside, 15 min by bus and 30-40 min by walk from downtown.

Wild squirrels and rabbits run around on campus freely.

In my course of Environment and International Development there are 22 people from all over the world:

3 Japanese (including me), Italian, Swedish, British, Malawian, American, Korean, etc...

Everyone is very kind and I like discussing with them who have so different rich experiences.

1st welcome school party

I'm going to live in university accommodation this year. It's 5-10 min by walk from university.

Courtyard view from my room

The rent is quite expensive but it's not far from university with free internet and some TV channels so, I can live for a year :)

My 5 flat mates are international as well:

Scotish, Malawian, Nigerian, Chinese and Cyprian.

I am trying to get used to this new life style little by little.

It will be very very intensive busy year but I will enjoy as much as possible！

Bonus:
There are so many chestnut trees along the car roads.

Right now is the season and nuts are everywhere on the streets !

I love chestnuts and I wanted to pick them all up but their prickles are so sharp and also I would feel embarrassed of doing so, I brought back one to my room :)
