Everyday life in our hall / at uni

Well - doday is the end of so called week 2. By now all assignments to courses and modules have to be fixed. That means if you are singed up for a module and you finally decide not to go there it is too late now - you will get a mark anyway - either a positive or a negative one.

In other words everyday life has just started. Induction, enrollment and module introductions are finnished. So it´s all about attending lectures, doing course work, and facing new difficulties. But this time they do not only concern us exchange students but the whole lot of Computer- and Math-related students: The server went down. So practically speaking all the intranet-pages where we could download lecture handouts, assignment sheets, and other files we need to fulfill our tasks are gone. Believing in rumours there has been some kinda hacker attack.

Next to these troubles we are facing first problems concerning life in a shared flat. So due to different timetables, "going out"-habits and general behaviour it´s not always easy to make everyone happy. Especially when half of the people wants to have fun at the same time where the others want to sleep. Or someone does not understand that he has to wash up his stuff immediatley afer cooking/eating in order to not blockade the whole kitchen...
