University update
Sep. 19th, 2006 03:17 pmSo I went down to the Ilisia university campus for the enrollment and everything today. Dad took me with the car - it's really easy if you use Attiki Odos, the big road that was constructed a few years ago. I could do it myself, when I get a car. (Though it does cost 2.70 euros to use it. But anyways.)
We spent 2 hours there, first waiting, then in a classroom where they told us the basics and we completed some paperwork, and then waiting to get registered. I've already got my university student ID and pass to get public transport tickets for half the price and have other financial privileges (*g*), and also got the schedule - turns out that Medicine starts some of its classes sooner, and since we will be taking the Physiology I class in the Goudi campus, where the Medicine establishments are (with or without the Medicine students, I don't know, probably without), Physiology I starts on Monday. Tomorrow we're going there with Dad, to check out the available public transport to get there.
Books are free, but we're going to have to go pick them up - they're only available in certain bookstores, bookstores that OF COURSE have to be in the center of Athens.
I forgot to mention, there's a girl I know, Evgenia, who was also admitted to Pharmaceutics. We've been classmates for the past three years. Now, we're not friends, and I don't think we're ever going to be - she's got this attitude that doesn't strike me well, kinda snobbish, plus we don't really have much in common apart from our interest in the same field - but we know each other and we get along all right. After we were done with everything, we took the transport (bus, then metro, then train) to 'our regions', so now I know this way of getting down to Ilisia too.
I do wonder what I'm going to do in the PR department. Today I was with Evgenia and this other boy she introduced me to (a classmate of hers from her evening classes). And it's good not to be alone in these first few days, but it's never going to work out with them. I'll need to form actual friendships - but how? It's been a while since I found myself among so many people I didn't know. And I'm not one to strike conversations out of the blue.
I honestly hope I'll find some people to hang around with. I could deal with not knowing anyone, but it wouldn't be fun :( And when you have a three hour-long break between classes, it's better to go get lunch with a friend than go back home and to campus again when it's time.
And since I'm on the topic of people... We are about 135 Pharmaceutics students. Amongst them are TOO MANY FEMALES. *headdesk* Now, I'm not one to go after the boys all the time, but I can't not take a look for any interesting males out there. I found, like, one.
On the bright side of things, though, the Biology, Geology and Chemistry departments are in the same building, the Mathematics(must contact ex-crush and find out if he's going to attend it) and Physics departments in the next building, plus I'll be having two out of my six classes in the Medicine campus, so it's not too bad.
Mmm, and I think that's all from me. Sorry for the overabundance of information, but at least now, if I feel like it, I can rant without needing parentheses every other word to explain things as the two different campuses (plural of campus?).
Oh, and on another, completely unrelated note, when did the 'friends' in the userinfo turn to 'mateys'? (Heh.)
See ya,
Anna.
P.S.: Actually, I notice a general pirate-like feel on LJ, what with the LJ image looking like a sail, the 'Update Captain's Log' button and the 'Aye, aye!' showing up in the message after you update. Bet Cath's loving it.
