It’s the first day of classes and out of the four classes on my timetable (class schedule) I only actually attended one. Is this the result of my laziness? No, it is because only one of my professors came to class. I asked my flatmates why none of the professors were there and they said that the first day is just for picking up your timetable. No one actually goes to class the first day. I also heard from some other people on campus that apparently a lot of the professors are in meetings this week. The word ‘exams’ was also used as an excuse a number of times. From what I can ascertain the professors were in meetings all day to discuss the results of last semester’s exams. Why wouldn’t they bring the professors in a few days early for that or schedule the first day of classes after the meetings are finished?

I did finally get my bank account open. Only to discover that international checks take from 6-7 weeks to clear. Luckily, I discovered that my debit card from the U.S. does work here. So my situation is much less dire than it could have been.

To be honest, my first day of classes didn’t go so well. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
