It will always be called the Junction.......

I'm thinking blog entries will be an weekly event from now on. I'm trying to have as little online distraction as possible when I'm in college- no msn or skype what so ever, minor usage of email and Facebook. It does help that college's wifi  is pretty dire at the mo.

Going back to academic life really  does feel like I made the right decision. It feels like slipping on my fave hoody- secure and warm bit patchy in places but great. Obviously there has been few changes since I was last a student.

1. College canteen and cafe have changed hands. I never was a fan of canteen food but was mildly impressed when the Asian counter cooked my lunch from scratch in front of me. I admit it wasn't the healthest option available but it wasn't saturated in old grease as it would have been six years ago. The cafe have changed hands a couple times when I was in college last. It started off as the Junction and now it's Starbucks. Oddly enough it is only during college that I have the urge to drink coffee. My favorite beverage is hazlenut latte.
2. Student  id card is more then a way of issuing books and getting a discount from New Look. You can now use it as swipe card if you are privileged enough to enter restricted areas. You now can buy print credits online ( good job I have an O2 money card) and you use your id card to print/copy/scan. The SU have this card that acts like a loyalty card to be honest I'm not 100% how it works but will figure it out.
3. Even though I have the same student id number from ten years ago my college email address has changed.

Despite these changes some old characters are still around ie weird guy from modern dance soc who came running into the college radio couple years back saying the aliens are coming to get us, little green little red man still in the college bar and of course the WONDERFULLY FANTASTIC Hubie who technically retired last year but hasn't and hopefully will never leave campus. All in all it was a good first week! :D
