He talks so fast!!

So, one class down, one to go. My Popular Music and the Mass Media class went well today, despite the fact that the professor speaks fast. Not only does he speak fast, he is British. To say the least, he is not extremely easy to understand. I got through it alright, though. The information is really interesting and I'm really glad that I didn't miss class this morning. I almost missed the bus, getting up just in time at 9:30. My class is at 10:00. I guess that's what happens when you hit the snooze button the morning after going out. I did have fun last night, though, so it was worth the rush this morning. Last night kicked off what they call 'Refreshers Week.' It is basically the first week back with events planned each night. You might think that these events would be wholesome and helpful to new students adjusting. No. it is seven crazy nights of dressing up and going out to the bars and clubs. Last night was Superheo night at Jak's. Even though it was a great time with my flatmates and friends, it is still hard grasping the idea that the school promotes drinking. They do promote responsible drinking, so that is good. It is still so different! Different is good. I am really liking life here at Swansea Uni. I do know that at this point I need to get more organized and manage my time well. With only two classes on Monday and Tuesday, I am going to have a lot of free time. I've already decided to sign up for the student-run volunteer organization, Discovery. This shouls be a good way for me to spend more of my free time constructively. That is the goal constructive projects and lots of traveling and meeting new people. This semester should be fun!
