Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:

Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
and looked around for a bit
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
and then didnt really know what to do
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
because i needed to get to the jubilee campus
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
me and simon got lost as well for medsim
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
i knew there was a bus between campuses, but wasnt sure where to get it from, so i walked to the visitor info centre
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
on the other side of the campus
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
u got plenty of exercise it seems
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
it wasnt evident on my little map that the campus was about a mile across
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
found the bus stop
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
but id missed the bus by 2 mins
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
next one wasnt for another 20
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
so i walked to the jubilee campus
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:

Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
feels like shenmue
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
then the actual day was crap
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
just propaganda to get us to join basically
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
we were all oxbridge applicants
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
then we went around in groups to tour the facilities
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
no fun then?
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
my group had someone in a wheelchair in it which slowed the whole tour down and it finished 20 mins late
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
i rushed out to get my train
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
imperial had people in wheelchairs
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
planned to get a bus, but there was very little info at the bus stops or on the buses themselves
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
basically just numbers
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
so i didnt know what bus to get
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
again, shenmueesque
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
got on one, asked him if he was going to the station i needed, he said i wanted a bus on the other side
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:
lol - i hope u left plenty of time to get there
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
which was weird, because i was walking on the left
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
anyway, walked across the road, saw the same bus route going in the other direction, which is what i thought he meant
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
he didnt
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:

Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
so i just decided i couldnt do that all afternoon or i wouldnt have a chance, so i just kept walking, albeit briskly
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
in my rush, i must have taken a wrong turn somewhere
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
realised i didnt recognise the streets, but thought if i just kept going in the right general direction id be ok
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
i wasnt
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
i got completely lost
Safeway didn't let me take photos of the interior of their Hatch End store...I'll go try Tesco's (Please ask if confused) says:

Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
so i looked for signs that pointed towards roads on my shitty little map so i could get my bearings back
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
found a main road, but didnt know which side id approached it from
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
by this time id missed my train, so i just asked stopped someone and asked her which bus i needed
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
she told me no35
Monkey Dust mentioned my school says:
