Freshers' Week

Guess we belong to this segment also - we're Freshmen in a way at UAD, so we decided to take part in some of the stuff going on during Freshers' Week 10.-16.9. During days it consisted mostly of the same stuff we'd come across during the international orientation, but there was also some lectures in Business and Economics...boring talks, have to say - we didn't sit through 'em all...

But during the evenings/nights the Student Centre across from the University main buildings came to life. There were lots of different parties and happenings - Comedy night, DJs playing, bands....Wednesday we just had to join - Taywatch beach party starring Jeremy "Hobie" Jackson from Baywatch (D. Hasselhoff's son, remember?). Who knew he's a dj these days...? Anyway, that was quite some party!! :) and quite some outfits too, I mean, who would wear that kind of stuff?!
That same night, Scotland played football/soccer against France - you should've seen the sports bar! It was packed with people, well Scots and French guys actually... and when Scotland scored their first goal - you wouldn't believe the noise!! It really was an experience in itself - not that they were even half as bad as the Brits I presume... But it was hmm... interesting :)

Two days ago on Sunday, it was the big finale of the Freshers' Week @ the Student Centre. Pretty surprised to see the place nearly empty when we got there about 11 pm - but it didn't bring us down! :) Played some pool and chatted with some new people, it was a really fun night! But unfortunately the details will remain secret ;) haha! Naah, but really, it was a great night of great fun! Absolutely something we will remember for the rest of our lives, or at least for the rest of the year ;)

Now our studies have all ready begun, with our first lecture today - Service Operations Management. Tomorrow will hopefully be a good day - first a lecture 9-10 a.m. and then Sports Fayre from 12-5 pm :) tell u how it went later! ;)
