Hello and thanks for reading, this message is coming to you from my new home away from home at the University of Hull!
I finally arrived here on Saturday and got my internet access this morning when I officially registered as a student of the university.
It’s freshers week here and what a great week it has been so far. There are roughly 30 people in my block, which is block C of Grant Hall for anyone that cares. 
Everyone seems really friendly and we’ve been going out as a massive group every night since we arrived on Saturday. Tonight is slightly different however, as I’m in the hall alone at the moment. Each student here has to officially register with the university at a specific time on a particular day. For most people, including everyone else in my hall, registration takes place tomorrow, however my registration time was 15:00 today. Registration is not a quick process, or more to the point, registration is a fairly quick process, but queing up to do so is not. It takes about an hour from starting to queue up to actually reaching the registration desk, then it takes a further hour and a half to queue up for the university ID card which is needed to access buildings such as the library and ICT suites. After this long experience I couldn’t drag myself out to the club with the others, so I’m here writing this message, and looking after the hall, making sure our neighbouring D block don’t try to continue any of their earlier pranks. Personally, I think they’re just jealous that we all get on so well…
I’m still in the process of finding out what I can and cannot access via the internet connection in my room. Firefox and Messenger are now working however, so that’s some of the important stuff done. Things such as TortoiseSVN I’m having problems with, so I’ll have to look into that one more a bit later on.
More posts about life here at the university to follow in days to come…
