Long Flights, Crazy Driving, and Interesting Bus Rides - My 1st 24 hours in Bradford

Never before had I welcomed sleep as much as I did last night. Regardless of not having a blanket, or having fully unpacked, I dropped onto that bed like my life depended on it. And it was gooooood...

For some reason someone at Delta should explain to me, the cheapest flight to Bradford from Horseheads was via Detroit and Amsterdam. Make sense to you? Me neither. As such, I had a total of 3 flights on my way to Bradford, and on this trip I learned something very important about myself.

I physically can not fall asleep on planes. Which is an interesting thing to learn on an overnight trip. 

In the grand scheme of things, it was probably best, as I was better able to fall asleep at a proper hour my first night here, but it did involve being awake for 40 hours straight. 

Ok, now for my first impression of Bradford.

What I learned riding from the airport: The English drive like madmen.
What I learned on my bus trip to IKEA: Coach bus drivers are the exception.
What I learned on my bus ride to city center: City bus drivers are not part of the exception.

Oh, and the weather has been decent. So far.

The University of Bradford itself has a nice, modern feel to it, though I will say the city surrounding it does extremely a little run down. Though, in its defense, they are renovating a large portion of it right now to bring it up to modern times

The city center has a giant fountain that you can walk though. Which is cool.

My apartment is part of a university owned complex, called The Green. Its very new, and has pretty good furnishings, definitely better than Clarkson another university I've attended. The bathroom through me for a loop, though.

The entire bathroom is part of the shower, with the drain between right next to the toilet.

There are two different buttons for flushing my toilet. I still haven't figured out why.
