After the wonderful cruise down the River Thames on Thursday night, I now begin the journey to Alexander Fleming Hall at Old Street. This will be my permanent Hall for the duration of the LPC.
The question was: How am I going to move all my luggage over??? I have 4 pieces of luggage, 2 of which are really bulky. Well, all the students at Wigram House had similar situations. We all had at least 2 pieces of bulky luggage! Fortunately, there was a coach to bring us to our various Halls.
We arrived near Alexander Fleming at or around 11am and I had to literally drag my "Chinese-looking" bag in addition to the big black bag I had with me.
We checked into our rooms and I am located at Block C, 2nd Floor and Room 8 (C02.8). My next door neighbour is a girl from People's Republic of China. Well, I am right next to the kitchen and 2 doors away from the bathroom, so, it is really convenient. Further, it is bigger than Wigram. See the "before and after-adding-furnishings" photos below:

The checkered "Chinese-looking" bag (shown in the AFTER photo above) gave up its ghost when I checked in as it was torn at the base and some of my LPC books, especially those at the base of it suffered "battle scars". See below
"Battle Scars" even before school starts!!
The book that "suffered" the most damage was my "Criminal Litigation in Practice" (as can be seen above). Well, an allegedcriminal goes against the criminal justice system in every country when being charged for an alleged crime. If the system is (in the criminal lawyer's and his client's view) unfair and unjust, one will have to fight against it and perhaps be afflicted serious battle scars... haha... Trying to think of some significance of this event.. ;p
Well, I think I can recognise my books from these "battle scars" as well. hehe...
After settling down, I moved to set up my Wireless connection. Once that was done (which was a big relief), I went to check my emails, reply to some of them and update this blog.
I am settling in quite nicely and I will be going through my first weekend in London. More to come in due course.
