On Wednesday I woke up bright an early in the morning (4:30a!) and took the Hogwarts Express to Norwich... okay. It's not really called the Hogwarts Express, but it was a legit train.  It took about two hours to get to Norwich.  When I got there I hired a taxi that took me straight to the Accommodation Office to get my key to my dorm.  I have my own room, with a shared kitchen and shared bathrooms.  I have a total of 11 flatmates, both girls and boys.



The opening on the right is my door, and the purple door on the left is my closet.  My bed is to the left and behind the bookshelf is a sink.




When you walk into my room from the door in the previous picture, my bed would be on the right hand side, and that is the view from my window.  As you can see, there is loads and loads of SNOW!!!! I woke up to it snowing this morning. 

And in case you are wondering Mom; Yes. I am eating. I got this from a place called Zest on Campus for lunch yesterday.... fish. And bread pudding for dessert... I also got free lunch today from my orientation meeting :)




Last night I meet two of my flatmates.  Their names are Zahra and Ruth. They are really really sweet girls.  They even made dinner for me! We had spaghetti, and it was delicious! They then took me to do laundry.  It costs two pounds to do a load in the wash! That is about $3.18!! I have decided that I am just going to hang everything in my room to dry.  My room is rather warm, so it only takes until the next morning to dry - which is not bad.










Here are just some lovely pictures of more snow. It is currently snowing as I write this blog. Beautiful to look at, but a pain to walk in!!!

Your view looks amazing! I love how snow looks, but you're right that it is definitely a pain to walk through. That's awesome that you met some nice friends already! And I'm really glad to hear that you're liking the new living situation. :)

The scene outside of your window looks very peaceful. Hope you enjoy it. However, the lunch doesn't look so appetizing - I hope it was at least tasty. Glad you were able to get a room to yourself.

Nothing beats a free meal! haha. And your flatmates are making you dinner? You got it made girl. If you cook for them they're in for a treat...I'm sure they'll be very impressed with your skills :)
I hope you're not dying in the cold weather!!
