l came to the university of Essex on the 1st of October, when the taxi dropped me off at North towers I was kind of impressed with the height of the towers and it was a unique kind of accommodation because I expected all the student accommodation buildings to be just like the keys and South courts. I asked people I saw around for directions to the international academy. It was difficult for me to find it, I wore a t-shirt and trousers, I knew England would be cold but not this cold! For 2 hours I was looking for the international academy and the cold was dealing with me severely. Guess what! when I finally found it on the door I saw one word '' closed '' i was like what the hell, I was so angry! l got over my anger and went outside to the taxi rank at North towers. l saw some taxis parked by the rank, I went towards one and told him were I was going, he said he was waiting for someone, so I was like OK. l walked over to the next taxi and asked him if he was free,he said he wasn't. There were only two there at the time so I waited for another 20 minutes till I saw another one, while I was waiting the cold was still entering! I walked over to the guy, he was Chinese, I asked him if he was going? he asked me if I had called for a taxi? I said no, then he said I should call for one that all the taxis coming are booked, l was like why didn't all those other taxi drivers tell me! I have been waiting here for nothing! The Chinese guy gave me their card and I called the taxi. Before the taxi got there it took like 10 minutes. l was so relieved I was leaving the uni, it was a stressful and funny day.
