Arrival & first day

Hello everyone!

I’m in Schotland!
For whoever is interested in how I got here:
I took a plane yesterdaymorning… I got up at 4.30 because we had to go all the way to Schiphol by train.. It was really hard leaving my mom, dad and boyfriend behind. I had to stand in a cue for so long, passport-check, that I nearly missed my plane. I was surprised that the dude behind the desk recognised me as the same person on my ID, for I was wearing glasses and my face was covered in tears and snot hahaha sorry for the details, leaving was just so sad. But there was not really time to be sad for I had to run!
I did just as George Clooney told me and stood behind some chinese or Japanese people as my baggage needed to be checked. All was fine, except that I was alone, boo-hoo. In London (Gatwick Airport) I thought I was late again so I ran to my Glasgow flight. This turned out not be so necessary since my flight had been delayed for 30 mins. This sucked because I really needed to pee. Allright now on to the interesting stuff ;)

Glasgow Airport
There was supposed to be a bus waiting for me from Uni, to take me to my destination. I had to pick up a key somewhere. Unfortunately there were so many busses I decided to take a cab. Fortunately, there was this guy who wanted to share a cab with me so we could split the costs. This redhead guy was a Scottisch student named Andrew, or so he told me. The rest he said was kind of hard to understand for me. I mostly nodded and smiled. It was good that he was there though because the cab driver was even harder to understand hahah. The sweet old man was swearing at most of the cars passing by, it was so cute. I just nodded and smiled.

Keys!
Hmm I got two keys and an address. For those who want to have it, here it is:
13B Park Circus Place
G36AH
Glasgow

It is a very pretty house in a splendid neighbourhood. Part of its greatness is that I am the only one living here at the moment. Apparently, I am ‘too early’ though I was under the impression that there was an introduction on Monday… Anyway. It’s big, pretty, but a bit lonely too…
I have the kitchen to myself though. Which means the refrigerator. Maybe I should stuff it with cheese and chocolate just in case I get snowed in.

I had no access to the internet yesterday and I felt quite alone, and cold, the heater does not seem to work in my room. I’ll make sure to ask someone about that when my toes start to freeze. Anyway, today I bought cables and such to get access to the world wide web and I can’t wait to Skype with my friends and family!

OMGlasgow has sooo many shops!!!

Hehehe. The city centre is only a 5min walk from here. So, all I needed to buy today was stuff for my pc. However, I bought a lot more.. See, there is a Primark here. And an HMV store (I became a member, I got some kind of bonuskaart only pink) and also a 1pound shop :) that one was a lot of fun. There’s no kitchentools whatsoever present in the house so I happily bought some Schotland mugs.. and some very lovely fluffy blue pantoffels :P

In ieder geval, ik hoop dat ik me de komende dagen een beetje bezig kan houden tot de introductie begint. Ik kan helaas niet blijven shoppen… sob.
Ik hoop dat ik een beetje snel huisgenoten krijg, als ik niet snel met iemand praat word ik een beetje insane in de brain ben ik bang. Tot snel and thank you for reading :) buhbyeee!!!
Groetjes Matz
