I'm here at the castle! Or really, I'm at Bader Hall, which is where the students live- it's about a 5-minute (gorgeous) walk from the castle. It took almost 2 hours by bus to get here from Heathrow, and we were very late leaving because of people's flight and/or customs delays. We got a tour of Bader Hall and had lunch at the dining hall in the castle, and now it's free time to unpack and so on. I haven't seen the rest of the castle- we get a tour tomorrow.
No roommate; I got a single room!! All the doors have the names of the students who live in them; when I saw the door with just my name, I was pretty excited. I was expecting it to be really small, but it seems that single rooms are really just regular (double) rooms with only one person in them. So I've got two beds and lots of space!

It's a rural area- here's the view out my window:

That's all for now! The next four days (Thurs-Sun) are packed with orientation activities, and there's also floor meetings tonight. Classes start next Monday!
So exciting! Your room looks super spacious... definitely enough room for some dancing around :)
ReplyDeleteCows for neighbours, how cool is that ????
ReplyDeleteYour room looks awesome, I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear more as you begin exploring the castle. Have a look for secret passages :)
Very excited for you!! What a nice view to look at for a few months. Hopefully the M-o-o-oing won't keep you awake! xoxo

Cows for neighbours... very cool ! I bet they'll be quieter than the airplanes outside your bedroom window at home ;)

I'd love to see a photo showing what Bader Hall looks like on the outside and a photo showing the relationship between the two buildings. I've pulled up a Google Map sattelite view of the Castle, but I'm having trouble finding Bader Hall on the map: http://g.co/maps/ph48h
