I'm an Eddie still in training....

So I made it! Cambridge is an outstanding city. There has been an enormous amount of ligistics to get figured. But I am proud to say that I have a UK bank account, a UK doctor, a UK cell phone number (which only slightly works...) and a MA Gown!!!! This is the building where I eat meals and socialize.

The past few days have been very exhausting. It's freshers week. There have been dozens of activities, receptions and teas. The college which I am going to be a member of is St. Edmunds. It's a smaller college that is located a bit out of the city. The address is very perfect--Mount Pleasant!  I was a bit nervous when the reception gave me the key to my room. The kind women told me I lived on the 2nd floor. So I piled in the very very very large and wretched suitcases. However, when the "lift" reached the 2nd floor my room was no where to be found. In the UK the 1st level is called "Ground floor" then the 2nd level is called "1st Floor"! I did figure it out...

Thought you might be a bit curious to see the 360 view...

Here's the view from my window....

Ohh and of course our shared "kitchen"....

I would have taken a picture of the bathroom area...but that is risky business! Apparently, Austrian men believe in wearing only their underware while they are "at home". 

Cheers to tomorrow! I am going to conquer the bus...and buy a bike! (Hopefully) But most importantly, tomorrow is my first day of real classes at the University of Cambridge!
