Tomorrow is the enrollment day where I will be meeting some of the BVC students. I am getting nervous because my flatmates, who are doing their LPC, are already busy with assignments and studying despite it being the second day of class only.
I am also worried if I will be able to make new friends. :|
The weather at night is still cold even though the weather forecast said that the lowest temperature is 13 degrees celsius.
I didn't go around town much today. I cleaned my room, the common corridor and the common kitchen. Then I went to the Student Health Care centre to register for a GP, where they gave me a form to fill at home and bring it back when it's done. Then I rushed to Tesco to buy some food and washing powder.
The vegetables sold are rather pricy! Each vegetable (fresh ones) are 1+ pound. 4 small garlic costs 1.2pounds. :O I could get a lot of food because I find the price too much. I bought some cut vegetables (50 pence), garlic (I had to right?) and potatoes. I wanted to buy sausages but I thought I could buy them next time when I finish my food. I also wanted to buy some onions, which I regretted not buying them because my dinner was almost tasteless.
So, with limited ingredients and without salt nor oil, I prepared my dinner. It took me ONE hour to cook such a simple meal. I wonder how am I going to manage my lunch and dinner next time when I don't have such luxury to cook so slowly.
Half a packet of cut vegetables (taugeh, strips of cabbages, leafy greens and carrots) and two and a half potatoes. Meal cost: 70 pence
It took me 20 minutes just to boil the potatoes and another 10 minutes or so to peel them. I cooked 3 potatoes but realized I couldn't possibly finish them so I kept some for tomorrow's lunch. I'm glad the vegetables were quicker than the potatoes. I added in a piece of ham but it was still tasteless. It's a good thing I love potatoes.
Below are some random picture I took of St Pancras railway station in London. It is situated beside King Cross Station (where Harry Potter took his train to Hogwards at 9 and 3/4 station). Here I boarded a train to Nottingham (around 5.30 pounds if not mistaken, with young persons railcard) and then took a tram from Station Street to Nottingham Trent University. I find St Pancras rather modern compared to King Cross. Both stations don't seem to have sufficient seats for passengers to wait for their train.
Looking quite magnificent, isn't it? Unfortunately, most of us had to seat on the ground or steel bars to wait for the train. I liked the sunny feeling in the station.
This is where I took the train to Nottingham. My train was at Platform 1.
