Apologies for not posting much recently, but it’s been a hectic week here. This was the week that everything needed to get done at home before I made the move to Bolton. There was lots to do too. Accomodation had been sorted out, but I wasn’t getting any information from Student Services about anything. I’m a bit of a worrier so I have to make sure that I know exactly what’s going on. Then there was the problem of transport. I’d asked a cousin if they could take me, but I never got any response back from them and the date was fast approaching. Luckily, my brother in law came to the rescue.

So, that’s briefly what happened last week. Last night I spent my first night at Orlando Village. I’d arrived at Bolton at 2.30pm and by 3.40pm I was on a train to Blackpool to see my girlfriend. She has been there since Friday because she has a wedding to attend to today. It was the perfect opportunity to spend a few hours together. She’s staying at the Hilton Hotel and we had the most wonderful dinner together.

My first night in the Halls of Residence went well although at about 12.30am people started arriving back from their nights out and were a bit rowdy. I’m sure that this is something I’m going to have to get used to. There are quiet halls available, but they’re on the other end of town.

So today my University experience begins for real. I’ve been a University of Bolton student for a year already, but as some of you know, this will be my first year actually at Bolton. It’s induction week this week and I have absolutely no idea what that means. I’ll have to pop to the Uni to find out later on. Firstly though I need to go and buy some food (and maybe a coffee). I also need to buy an aerial for the Television.

A few weeks back I mentioned that I bought an AirPort Extreme so that I could connect to my Hard Disks and Printer wirelessly. Well, I’m in the halls and I’ve connected it up and guess what. It doesn’t work! Something to do with security and creating wireless networks. Darn it!! It works for sharing the HDD and Printer, but in order to access the internet the computer has to be physically connected via Ethernet cable. A bit of a pain to be honest.

So, that’s what I’ve been up to this last week. Any of you been up to anything exciting?
