I've just recieved an email from the exchange programme today, the email itself was not too confusing, and yet the websites it told you to read were. I think they deliberately make them exceptionally complicated just to confuse international students, I swear that coming to an English university was not nearly this complicated. They have a schedule of classes to read to help with working out a timetable, but I cannot make head nor tail of it. For a start there are 132 pages, which is enough to frighten anyone. It begins with a complex calender that begins in Febuary of this year, it is very hard to know exactly what bits apply to me and sections that seem to contradict each other (registering for classes between July and August, and another one that says May) and confusing terminology about "Pass"es (and that does not mean passing an exam). I think I can ignore it all for the moment, but I'm dreading the moment that is no longer the case.
The general amount of information that I have been given is overwhelming, it would take me a ridiculous length of time to read it all and I could never remember it all, particularly when I am meant to be revising (meant being the operative word, haven't done any today). I hope this is all cleared up when I get there. I'm culturally confused already, what will it be like living there?

Well the email itself was boring, I'll make them more exciting when I can. x
