How bizarre to walk into college filled to the brim with people you absolutely have no clue of. And worse yet if you don't remember if they were there from last year! Arriving early in the morning with a sleepy Derek to greet me, I recounted my horrific tales of the flight as we arrived at college. With almost 5 pieces of heavy luggage and several boxes, we were daunted.......
Never to fear, we waved over a first yr to come help us. Ah....the brutal tasking of 2nd years. I relished. Waved over another one to help us up the stairs. No joke. My new room is back on East 2, next to Connie's double room with her sister (the one we used to have), surrounded by freshers, and Louis, Thomthom down the hall, Lyra in the middle of the hall, Steph Harrop down the other end, Maria around the corner. Hauling what I brought in and what was still in South's Box room up several flights of stairs required momentous begging. And then unpacking. Cleaning blanket and linens and pillowcase. Deciding where everything was to go. Getting another shelf from Lyra. At the end of the day i was pure exhaustion. At dinner watching all the new faces. It felt so surreal.
The next two days was spent at Clubs and Societies O week, hailing new members and receiving old ones. Our banner unfortunately left with Dilshan so we make due with posters and plenty of smiles. Connie helped massively, along with Davina (lovelovelove), Tridat, Trithang, Michelle and Anna. Until now, we've collected up to a sizeable 50 ish members. The days are so hot.......dry sun shining upon us. Now however, 3 weeks in, it's absolutely cold.
Oh the joys of shared bathroom and showers ><. Saying hello to unknown faces.... I feel quite scared.
This year, I shall be taking Legal Theory, Obligations, Holocaust and Genocide, and Sexual Politics. Incidentally, I've passed Torts.

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
