New starts

I've been in Dundee almost a week now, and I adore it. It feels like I've lived here for years, I already know my way around the main part of town, I live right in the centre in a beautiful apartment that I will gush about for ages. It's called Victoria Chambers (I'm even in love with the name), and each apartment takes up an entire floor of two buildings. As in, whatever dividing wall there was between numbers 12 and 14 is no longer there. There are 15 bedrooms, loads of bathrooms, two kitchens and a common room. My room is really big, and the window is just amazing. As is my view. This is basically my perfect apartment.

Anyway! Since coming over here, I've met 8 other Irish people, 3 from Dundalk, 3 from Dublin, a girl from Donegal/New York and a boy from Mayo. 2 of those 8 are in my course, starting in my year! So, we will be BFFs haha.

I was supposed to go to a concert tonight, Amanda Palmer, in London. I was really looking forward to going, but when I tried to book the train ticket, the ATM wouldn't let me take the full amount out of my account. So I took that as a sign that it's way too expensive. And here I am, looking out my beautiful window at my beautiful view and I am contented despite that.
With the money I would have spent, I bought myself plates and cups and teatowels and food and other such domestic things. I also bought myself a new phone, it's swanky and I love it.

I don't think there is much about this trip that I haven't just loved, and I hope it stays that way.
I've been writing letters also, to my mum and my sister and my mum's friend and some of my friends. Anyone else who wants one, send me an IM or something!

What else...I don't start classes until Monday week so I can't dish any gossip about the lecturers or anything like that, I'm sure they're all lovely anyway.

I think that's really it all. I've found this library that is super close to me, I will live there I think, whenever I can bear to be away from my bedroom.

I think I've just said everything that is important and quite a few things that aren't.
So, I hope you are all well! <3
