The campus is decidedly busier than it was last week. There’s a certain expectant feeling in the air, no doubt caused by term being just around the corner. There’s also quite a lot of showing off going on. I saw some sportsman today making two others do press-ups on the lawn in the middle of the campus. No idea what – besides attracting attention – any of the three were trying to accomplish.The University Village, where I’ve been shopping during my stay, is also showing more signs of life. One of the armed forces recruiting stations (yes, they have two) was open with a sandwich board outside advertising “150 reasons to join”. Presumably the number of reasons has to be greater than the space on the board, otherwise they would have to list them.
It felt quite strange to go back to the village now that I’m no longer living across the road from it. I certainly feel less connected to the University now that I’m not living in student accommodation. Being at Vagabond is much nicer, although I would only want to go without a kitchen for a short time. This is the view from my window, which isn’t a bad one, really.
