I've been in Newcastle for more than three month.
Everything goes smoothly, except the stupid wireless in accommodation.
Everyweek I have a trip with my flatemates or my friends from shanghai.
Everyone is kind.
Durham, York, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle etc. It is always nice to travel.

About study.
I have class almost everyday, but maximum 3 hours. I have to do a lot of reading afterwards. Study is quite different from that in shanghai. I directly come for the final year, I do need to work more
Anyway, struggle, good good study, day day up
