Rain and stuff

Hello lovely people.

Today I had lots to do, like go get registered at Ghent University, get my student ID card, lodge my application for residency at the Foreigners Registration Office and I also had an appointment at the Law School to confirm my courses. I have clashes with my criminology papers and the international nature conservation paper but I really want to take it so they are letting me do it, provided I clear it with my professors first. The law school is really quite interesting, as from the street it looks tiny, but it actually is a whole block of buildings which are accessed like a maze from this one entrance. There is even a large courtyard in the middle. I only had time for a brief look but it was nice to sneak a peak at where I will be studying! I haven't found the library yet which i should probably do soon as I will most likely be spending a lot of time there if Waikato is anything to go by!

Im just heading back home now to post some postcards and pick up a bike on the way (hopefully!) but its raining here now quite hard so biking will be interesting!

Yesterday I had my first stroll through the city centre which is GORGEOUS - cathedrals and old buildings galore. Will post photos soon. Better get going as it gets dark soon (almost 5pm!)

Love to all,

p.s about a week before I get the net connected for Skype.
