It’s 10pm on the first night of my residency and I am done for the day. As I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, ended up getting the 7am ferry this morning, which made for a long (but good) day on campus. My room is what you’d expect of a dorm- single bed, small desk, spacious set of drawers, and small closet. Note to self, bring warm clothes to lounge in as the rooms are chilly at this time of year. When I pulled up in the rain, the security staff were very welcoming and throughout the day I’ve been impressed by how helpful and friendly the staff are.
Our morning consisted of an orientation and in the afternoon we got to start our courses. First up, Professional Communication. Today’s course focussed on proper sentence structure, comma usage, and other such grammatical issues. Shaun, our instructor, made a somewhat dry subject entertaining and I’m genuinely enjoying the class. It’s true, I do need to polish up on these issues and am even finding myself rereading over this entry with Shaun’s lessons in mind. Hey, at least there’s room for improvement!
After a long day, we had a lovely social in the castle and I got to meet many of my fellow classmates. What you may think is one of those evenings you ‘need’ to attend, ends up being a great social evening- do not skip this event. So now, I am ready to call it a night and prep for my morning class. Goodnight.
