Today I only had one class, a seminar for Film studies at 11:00. After class, I rode the bus to city campus where I picked up my University of Sunderland sweatshirt that I had bought in the freshers wristband bundle. From there, I walked to the Bridges where I searched for a variety of products including barbecue crisps(chips). I couldn’t find any of them. After I left, I rode the bus back to Clanny.

Back at Clanny, I made egg and bacon sandwiches on English Muffins. I then froze them. This is something that my mom had started doing over the Summer. If you’re interested in making them, the recipe can be found here. After making the sandwiches and freezing them, I went up to my room and watched Netflix. After a while of watching Netflix, I did some of my space law reading online which was really easy. I also attempted to do some of my film studies reading. I say attempted because, I have no idea how to analyze a film or even understand someone else’s analyzation. So, I gave up and watched Netflix until I went to bed.

Today, I woke up around 08:00. My first class was on the St.Peter’s Campus on the other side of the river. Around 10:00 after getting ready, I headed to the bus stop to get on the 701 at 10:20. For once the bus was on time and I rode all the way to the St. Peter’s campus. I arrived around 10:34 giving me plenty of time to find where my class, introduction to Film studies, was. I got lost in the media centre and had to ask where my classroom was. It turns out it was in the cinema which has an outdoor entrance (it’s on the second floor). I received my syllabus and sat in the cinema. The cinema is just like a movie theater except, there aren’t cup holders, there’s less leg room and, the seats are a lot less comfortable. I have a class in a theater though!!! When the lecture ended I had an hour to kill. So I caught up with one of my flatmates and we went to get food in the library on campus. After lunch, I returned to the cinema for this week’s film screening which was Raging Bull, a black and white Robert De Niro movie from 1980. The movie was very disturbing for lack of a better term (the main character constantly cursed and beat his wives).  After the movie, my next class was Space Law.

Space Law was in a different building on campus however, the room was very easy to find. Space Law seems so far like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Basically my entire grade in the class will be based off of a 2,000 word essay and, a poster presentation of a case study. I was kind of intimidated when I first entered the classroom because, everyone else in the class is in their third year of law school (final year of school for a British degree). The teachers made the class seem better when they showed us the grade statistics of the two previous years of the class in which no one has failed. Just in case I caught the professor after class and asked him if I could pass the class even though I don’t have any real previous law training. He answered that I could pass easily as long as I do the research and work. After class I got on the bus to go home.

The bus once again only took me as far as Park Lane interchange and I had to walk back to Clanny from there. Back at Clanny, I watched Netflix until I went to bed.
