Freshers' Week

I spent my first week in Reading feeling rather old - freshers all over the place reminding me of just how long ago it was that I was in their position. This is such a cliche, but they all look so young! Thinking about it, too, I must have looked even younger, seeing as I have normally looked about half my age throughout my life so far. That would have made me appear 9. Yep, that's probably about it. My week was mostly spent playing cards of various kinds with a few new found friends - mostly Emilie, Nicki and Amy (all staying in my Halls; from Canada, Devon and Paris respectively), and also going to mediocre pubs with these guys, Richard (another guy from my house) and a large group of Amy's French friends. Seeing as Nicki has just spent a year and a half in Paris, and Emilie is from French Canada, I think I should be fluent by the end of the year...
