We are all settled in our flat now. It is still freezing and we are still having to sleep in layers of UnderArmor, but it is nice to have our own place to come back to. We spent most of Monday finding our way around Wolverhampton's campus getting our student ID's and meeting with the international students office. We also took a quick look around the town and picked up a cell phone to use here and to make cheap calls to the US. Most importantly, we found our way to Asda, the Walmart-type store here to get groceries so we no longer have to survive on Luna bars.
Today (Tuesday) was our first day of our psychiatry rotation. Weactually spent more time on the bus than at work as we took the wrong University bus this morning and our 10 min bus ride turned into 2 hrs. We figured out our error early on but by then we were already out oftown and on our way to a completely different city and campus. At that point all we could do was laugh at ourselves and enjoy the tour of the England countryside. All in all we took five bus rides before we made it to Penn Mental Hospital by lunch time. The doctor's secretary made a schedule out for each of us for the entire month so it looks like we will be seeing and doing a wide variety of things to keep us busy during the next four weeks. It is about bedtime now... with it getting dark at 3-4 o'clock everyday, I'm ready for bed at 8 o'clock. We promised ourselves that we wouldn't let the cold and darkness talk us out of going out to check out a pub tomorrow night.
