As the title of the blog is 'Life After Bellerbys' I'll start with what I've been up to after Bellerbys.
After nearly going into shock (to say the least) on results day (Abdul achieved grades of A*AAA!), I successfully made it into me first choice, with many thanks of course to Bellerbys and it's wonderful teachers. However I think everyone would agree with me that after such a stressful period, it should be followed with fun (lots of it), and so that's what I did.
I decide to have a holiday trip to the US which started in New Jersey with my delectable cousins (pictured right) who are surprisingly fun to be with, although I believe it's probably because they're still fairly innocent.
But as much as I would have loved to spend all my holiday with them, they were more interesting places to visit. So I continued my partial tour of the US stopping first in Atlantic City, famous for it's numerous casinos but not as much as Vegas. However thay have something else in common which is eating away your money without hesitation.
Even the lively night life of Atlantic City didn't hold me back from going on to my final destination, DC. It may be worth saying that If you're not the sight seeing type Washington
DC would probably not be the place for you, but all in all it's not such a bad place.
It's monuments and memorials start to seem boring when you've seen about 10 and realise that there's still more but one of my favourites is the new Malcom X memorial.
You'd have thought the fun ended there (given that I came back to school) but WOW University students do not take Fresher's week lightly. I guess it because it's the only week where excessive drinking doesn't have the consequence of 'HANGOVER+LECTURE'.
I must admit it is a really fun week knowing that you'll probably never get the chance to have so much fun once school starts. It is also worth mentioning that they are other things to do during the first week and they do take you round London to get familiar with the surrounding and you also get tour of the school. Which I must say is necessary as the school is more or less like maze you have to get through everyday.
To the right is our beautiful library which I just feel like bragging about and below is the New Academic Building which unfortunately I have no lectures or classes at.
And so that's it, phase 1 of my life after leaving Bellerbys.
Abdul studied A Levels at Bellerbys College and achieved one A* grades
and three A grades.
Great blog, Abdul, your holiday in the USA and also the Freshers' Week sound like fun. We'll look forward to reading more from you in the coming months!
Best wishes,
Agnes
