University of Bristol

Its been almost 11 weeks since I came to Bristol. It was a hard to here with a lot of delays and problems but I managed to find my way to my room. I met my room mate, Silviu. He is from Romania and he is a great guy and a very nice company :) . I also met other guys from my house like Henry, Sharath, Nabil, Gordon, Tom, Avi, Shugantan and others and all of them are a great bunch of lads. My fresher's week was a blast with my first ever Rave party(which was a blast btw) and it was really nice organised as a whole. I had the opportunity to look around the university buildings and everything looks amazing. I can't choose a favourite building because how can you choose when there are such as Will's Memorial, Queens Building, MVB and Physic's building.... I can't(although Will's do catches the eye straight away ;) ). The lectures and the professors are great. I never expected that it might so funny and enjoyable in lectures as it turned out to be. I started programming and it looks hard as sh*t but I enjoy it and i'm looking forward to it :) . Until the third week I though that in Bristol there is only one person from Bulgaria but by a big coincidence in a night i met like 6-7 people (most of them taking the same course as me) and after that i learned that there are 45+ more students in the two universities in the town and on top of that in Bath(town very close to Bristol) there are supposed to be more than 100 more students from Bulgaria ;)

Bristol is a great city there is no doubt in that. I love the buildings, the shops, the clubs, the university, the professors, the girls :D ... what else can you want? I know of one thing(but I don't want to turn this blog from "uni" topic to "her" topic so she stays a mystery :P )

The Christmas holidays have arrived so I will be going back home this sunday and I'm happy to. I miss my parents and especially my England Lady :P and also the house feels kinda empty right now cause everyone left already :S ... I hope the bad weather in London gets better and I don't have any more flight troubles as last time.

Wish me luck whoever reads this and I wish you Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I would like to tell you to say "I love you!" to all your dear ones. Show them how much they matter for you!
BB for now and see you next year BRISTOL !!!!!!!!

I am the master of my fate (from the movie "Invictus")

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Wohoo! Here i come "University of Bristol" :D. Yesterday i got a letter from them telling me when and where to attend for registration! "Computer Science" baby!!! :D I can't wait to go there already. New town, new people, new language(kinda)... it's going to be a hell of an experience for me :D . This week on the BTV news (don't think this part of the sentence is correct :S) there was a rubric about Bristol. The town is world-wide famous for its ballon show. Thousands of people come each year to see the show. Pity i'm not there in this time of the year. Still the town got plenty of things to offer. It's quite a big city if not for england's standarts atleast for the bulgarian's. Half a million people live there and a hell a lot of them are students and there are 2 universities. I will attend "Computer Science" at "University of Bristol". In the letter i was send, there was a brochure from the student council showing me all kind of oppurtunities for me to fill my time. There are also free sporting facilities for the students. I might try rugby :D (hope noone breaks some part of me) :D. What else can i say about Bristol..... ah yes! Bristol used to be one of the main docks in England, just like Liverpool. A lot of ships sailed from there on their way to the "New land". Right now i don't know how active is the dock of the town, but it doesn't matter. Also i always wanted to live in a town on the sea coast <3 :D . Well folks, guess this will be about my first blog! Hope it was fun for you to read it! :)
