One thing became immediate to me this morning as soon as I woke up: I should have been up 2 hours ago and am meant to be leaving, well, now. So this is definitely one of the more immediate things to tackle. I did manage to get to the uni on time however having skipped breakfast, which when you're in uni from 9 til 4 - as I now am - is another bad idea, well, I did manage to find the time to neck half a cup of tea, but I was starving all morning!
Morning mishaps aside though, and the morning session was - as expected - pretty intense. We were all in the main lecture theatre for a couple of hours while the programme leader gave a couple of presentations and has us doing a couple of 'get to know you' activities, in which he recommended taking out pen and paper and writing things down...maybe I should have brought those things with me. Luckily my phone came to the rescue! As it so often has done in the past. I just opened the notes app and was ready to go, and as it turned out this would be needed for pretty much the rest of the day. Always prepared.
After lunch (I'd made some last night, thank god) came the sessions more focused on registering us with the uni and sorting out our IT accounts, along with a bit of a presentation on the sort of writing expected now we're at Master's level. Luckily for me I'd set my IT account all up before even arriving in Lancaster, and only needed to sync my email account with my phone, which for some reason or another refused to work before, Microsoft could really handle these things better.
All in all it was a very informative first day, and I can only wait and see what the rest of this week has in store for me (although I do know we get a lie-in on Thursday - as late as 10am!)
