Breakfast on Sunday

Awoke early to the sound of doors banging. I had forgotten how noisy student halls or residence are. St Mary's is quite an old hall, but my bit at least is clean and well equipped. My room is on the first floor facing south so it gets a lot of afternoon sun and is very cheery.

I went down to breakfast at 7:00am. I was prepared to give precedence to the S339 students, but there didn't seem to be much of a crush. I saw people coming out of an adjacent room clutching white paper bags filled with lumpy things so I wandered off to discover that this was where you obtained your packed lunch. There was a little sign saying "Only two rolls per person". There were boxes of juice, crisps, apples and sweet bars of chocolate/cake. Nevertheless, it didn't look a lot and I felt that here was one occasion where being female and having a smaller appetite was beneficial. So, men can pee behind bushes on field trips - score 1, but women don't need so much food - score 1. Evens.
