Life in Another World
When thinking of coming to university, I knew it would be different. You’re leaving your safe and comfy house, your mother is no longer making you dinner and you have to do your own laundry.
I have landed in Dundee and have met the aliens they call ‘Students’ and ‘Lecturers’. There seems to be an environment in which to learn, the ‘Lecturers’ talking and the ‘Students’ writing it down. The language is indiscernible - but I manage. The rooms are strange, with little tables and hard-to-find classrooms.
When night approaches, the ‘Students’ change. Their nocturnal behaviour states that they enjoy inebriation, conversation and loud music. Further observations state that they can hold their drink - and I, the new drinker - did not collapse, but had a strange sensation called a ‘hangover’ when I woke up at 1pm the next day.
Diet consists of pizza, nachos, pasta and noodles - and while I have been living in this environment for a short time weight gain is plausible.
More when I discover.
