My First day

This is my first blog and I will try and make it as interesting as I can.
I am really not having a great day today and it is written all over me. Isnt't it amazing how lots of people leave their countries and travel afar to study in the UK.I am an international student and I travelled all the way from Nigeria to study in Winchester.Life abroad can really be depressing and can also be interesting if you are surrounded by people who try to help you to know and appreciate your new environment.
In the few days I have spent here in Winchester,I have made friends with alot of people,especially international students like me.I have made friends from India,Mexico,Uganda,Ghana,China,Japan,Hongkong,South Africa among others.
Life here is totally different from Africa.The weather is terribly depressing and annoying as the weather only gets colder and colder.Everything here is different.
I am trying to adjust to university life again,after having my first degree in law in 2001 and being called to The Nigerian Bar in 2004.I am finding my journalism course interesting,but having a little problem with psychology,but I know with time I will overcome it.
My journalism course requires me to start a blog and I will try my best to update it always.I wont write about what is happening in and around Winchester,but I will write about things that interests me and that includes my life in winchester and anything I find interesting.
I have been to the courts here and have also done alot of research and I am really having fun with my studies.I love media law because I have a law background and can relate to some of the cases and topics being discussed.
I know this is not perfect ,but with time I will improve and be an addicted blogger.
I have Chris's classes now and I will return to write an update about how his class has been,I love attending his lectures and I love attending Angus's lectures,not because he is my personal tutor,but because I love his style of teaching.I really cant say anything about Brian,because I have seen him teach like 3 times,but havent had any contact with him,but he is good too.
I am more of a personal person...............

I am already enjoying your post babe. I think with time you will learn to appreciate the weather here. Also, you can join your university international society so as to enjoy different nationalities.
