In-so-far as one can make such a pronouncement after just one week in a new home: I like Leicester. I particularly like where I'm living, which kind of worries me; I have a vague feeling I may be a chronic suburbiate. Oadby is quite delightful, though; it was raining today when I had to wander round to fix accomadation for Frey and it just felt and looked lovely. Even the slight smell of slugs couldn't detract from the peculiar Britishness of the place. Serious suburbia.
Leicester city: cozy, quaint and has everything I need. And in walking distance of the university.
University: What can I say? Leicester is disorganized, vaguely incompetent, big fan of useless orientation procedures, completely inept at organizing buses and ugly as sin - the bad ones. And I kind of love it. I even found myself remarking to Cathrine, the Norwegian I've been hanging around with, that the Attenborough Building is kind of charming in its utter ugliness with its death-trap elevator (it's a continual loop elevator called the Paternoster, which I find ridiculously cool - for Danes, it's like the ones in Christiansborg). But let's see what I think about it after Fresher's week.
Tomorrow I finally, finally, move in to my permanent accomodation. So that'll be a great time; I have to vacate my room by 9.00, but so does everyone else and the rooms need to be cleaned. I'm not quite sure what this means vis-a-vis my getting the room at any point before, you know, Sunday. Particularly since Stamford has refused to talk to me this week. But no matter - bright and early, Cathrine and I will be dragging my suitcases across campus in the hope that I will have a room before ten, allowing for the rest of the day for laundry, shopping, final organization of Freya's accomodation and possibly budget-balancing. I feel so grown-up.
Also, I'm kind of looking forward to next Monday - I need routine, dammit! But Fresher's week should be okay (apart from the printing-of-registry thing) - or at least, relatively low-stress.

Also, someone needs to write a Rent/Law and Order crossover. Or possibly just a huge pan-fandom New York series. C'mon - it would be AWESOME. You could have cameos from other city shows as well - naval crimes forcing L&O detectives to co-operate with NCIS etc. And pan-history!
Oh damn. I just got hit by a rather bad fic-bunny. Like I need one, with all that's going on.
