Woo.. On friday afternoon I went out with all my friends from different countries. It was so much fun! We met each other and we went to one of the popular bars in Sheffield which has loads of pool tables and foosballs which you can enjoy with your friends. After 2 Hours of chatting, playing pool and foosball we went to one of the best Chinese restaurant in Sheffield called noodle bar. I recommend you to go and try its great Chicken Satey which made with Iranian taste!! After eating our Friday dinner we went to one of University´s club (frouk) which is just for students and it is every Friday nights. It is held in one of the biggest university halls (Octagon Centre) and most the university events are there. So we spent a few hours over there and then I was really tired so I slept all Saturday morning.

Well…! I am back from my Easter Holiday and I have started to write my diary now.

I am going to tell you a bit about my amazing travel to Sweden. After working hard from the beginning of semester 2 of this year, and sometimes chilling out with my funny and friendly international friends in between, I decided to visit my uncle and my cousins.

It was a first time in whole my life that I was seeing them. You can imagine how interesting it can be!! Also a bit stressful… It was unbelievable sunny weather in Sweden which is the same as Sheffield at the moment!! I enjoyed the sunshine on a sandy beach every single day. I found lots of friends over there the same as here. The funniest part was the time that my Swedish friends were teasing British accent because they are foreigners and British accent seemed so funny to them!!! I am sure you will find it funny when you come here but DON´T WORRY you will get used to it after a while and it will become your favorite accent especially when you find lovely British friends!!!

Any way when I came back to Sheffield I found a new building – the Information Commons. We have waited for about 2 years… and now it is DONE and every body is enjoying their studying time over there. It has more facilities that all the students can use, for example private studying rooms which you can enjoy as a quiet room, café shop, shower rooms which make you fresh during your stay and loads of other facilities which I will leave them for you to discover them by yourself and ENJOY them.
