Well Tuesday was the first lesson in an actual lab. Not doing any practical stuff though. It was however, a very warm lab, the same warm lab that contributed to my going a bit wrong when college visited the university open day. So my please open the windows plan can't come soon enough. Very traditional style lecturer, a proper actual professor too, but good. I don't mind if they're not especially warm people if they make sense, which he did.
I am, however, starting to feel like a grumpy old woman. Door slamming, persistently late, noisy, chattery people are starting to annoy me. Being 18 is not an excuse for not turning up on time, all the time. And note to the five boys behind me, you get upset because you maybe have to be parted from each other for a lesson and make a whole row of people change places? Seriously, what are you six?
Today is my first evening lesson...

First proper lesson/s
Today was the first day I had an actual lesson. This afternoon, 1-5 was the scheduled slot, however in practice it was 1-2 lecture and then 4-5 lecture. With nothing to do in the middle bit, bar trying to avoid the noisy, busy, hellish Fresher's Fair (nice to share info, but please universities of the world realise that some of us do not like crowds).
This bizarre system is so that next week and the two weeks after the middle slot can be used for drop in tutorials, I'm almost tempted to have issues even when I don't, just so I have something to do. Then the four weeks after that we have from 2-5 doing practicals...and then after that its back to the drop in or nothingness.
I find this baffling, and annoying frankly. Why they can't schedule the two lectures one after the other I don't understand. But hey ho.
Lecture theatre seats 180 and there are dead on 180 in the class. Which is snug. And also means we can only go in the not quite so shiny lecture theatre, because none of the others are big enough.
Observations from first proper lectures... Some people are totally oblivious, particularly late people. C'mon you people have you no sense of embarrassment?! Doors are loud. Lecturers make bad jokes, and they fall far flatter in a bigger room (secret to this teach only small groups with unreliable humour). And scanning your ID card is all a bit Jennifer Government for my tastes.
