It’s the first day of school for me, I’ve been here every day for a week but this is what I’m counting as my first day in that I’ll be fully settled down. It’s taken almost a week to get a room. Things in school have been, as my dad is sometimes fond of saying, ELEPHANT.

Our VC, in his infinite wisdom accepted to admit 3500 freshmen. He not only admitted them but he also decided to house them on campus never mind that we don’t have nearly enough beds to house them and us the over probably 8000 students who were to join them a week after. Most of the opening week was spent running about campus scrambling for a meagre number of rooms left (according to the lottery that we had there we only under 600 beds left).
