Today I got my new room for the semester!
It's quite spacious compared to U.S. dorm rooms, from what I've seen! I have my own sink, under-bed storage and a nice big desk! I'm almost all moved in. I have some minor things to put away still.
I met several girls living in my suite. Apparently we're all international students. here. I have so far particularly hit it off with a Canadian girl, Bri, who lives across the hall. She's a lit and rhetoric major.
New Britishisms I've observed:
1.) There's a Heinz mint condmint, which I have no idea what they put it on! It tastes kind of salty with a hint of mint. It's also very oily. Peculiar!
2.) Their "Exit" signs are pictograms for the illiterate. There's a picture of a man running, a down arrow, and a door? I suppose it's a call out to the old days when everyone was illiterate here!
The exit pictogram seems to me to say, "If you're in a panic, run this way and fall down the elevator shaft! Really, it's the absolute quickest way out!"
