Fresher's Week, Part 2

Last night (Sunday) was the end of Fresher's Week and today was the first day of class. Fresher's Week was a pretty intense experience -- or it would have been, if I had partied like the freshmen. Some kids went out every night for the entire week, but I didn't attempt anything remotely like that. Evenings were spent mostly hanging around dorms or the student union bar. I did go to the final party yesterday, at Rock City (Nottingham's main music venue), but it was a bit of a letdown. The band on the main stage was rather disappointing, and the other bands in other rooms were pretty mediocre. I'm glad I went, just for the experience and all, but it was a bit silly.

And another side note -- the British love their chanting and yelling. The entire (15-ish minute) bus ride to Rock City was spent loudly proclaiming the superiority of Rutland Hall above all other dorms, with chants that had varying degrees of inappropriateness. This, too, was hilarious.
