First Day of Classes

I am in the middle of my first week of classes here at Lancaster University. So far I know what my daily schedule will be. When I really need to get some work done I will go to the library on the third floor to get it done. The library is definitely going to be my favorite place to go to study and do assignments. There are three levels and each level going up has a quieter noise level, making the third floor silent.

I start my day eating breakfast at one of the dining spaces, then I either go back to my room or to the library to get some work done before class. My classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday start at 2pm. I do not have any classes on Wednesdays and my class on Thursdays start at 11am.

On most days I am done with classes at 5 or 6pm. I then go get dinner and end my day watching Netflix or playing games with my flat mates.
