Feb. 2nd: Arriving in Sheffield

Above: Sheffield train station

Hello All!

I'm going to see how long I can keep up this blog. Here's a brief summary of the highlights of my day.

1.) I took a 2 hr train from London to Sheffield without any problems! Yay! It was one of the few times I've been on a train, and there was actually a trolly car rolled down the aisle...like in Harry Potter!

2.) I accidentally forgot to write down the address for my B&B, so the cabbie dropped me off at the dormitories instead since I had that

address. The security people at the front desk were super friendly and printed off directions to the B&B and drove me here!

My room's very small, but nice and cozy warm! It's very European. Breakfast tomorrow at 8:30 am because that's when they stop serving it! They seriously need to serve breakfast later.

3.) I had a chicken and mushroom pie at The York Tavern on one of the main roads. I found it after exploring a little bit! The food was very tasty!

4.) I met 3 other international students staying at my B&B. I tagged along with them. The international students were all supposed to eat dinner together at the Student Union. I decided to tag along, even though I'd already eaten. I'm really glad since I was able to catch up on the campus tour they'd taken.

There's a pub in the basement of the Student Union! We all went for a pint after dinner and I had some really interesting conversations with two blokes from South Korea, one bloke from Czechoslovakia, and a girl from Utrecht in the Netherlands!

Overall, a great first experience here!
