The first day at university

Today was the first day at the university. As a flat, we walked to campus together and attended our respective orientation sessions. Unfortunately, mine wasn’t particularly helpful, as the questions being discussed were things we already knew, and for anything more detailed we were simply referred to the Erasmus coordinator.

Getting the data in the university system corrected would have been unnecessary. It was still wrong on my student ID card, so it had to be printed again.

At lunchtime, I worked on my term paper for Bamberg. Motivation was low, and progress was slow.

In the afternoon, we went to a “Tea and Cake” event hosted by the student association, followed by a trip to IKEA. Despite some initial doubts, this afternoon left me feeling very positive about the next 100 days. I met many fellow students there, especially L, who studies the same subject as I do and has experienced similar organizational problems. A companion in suffering.
