First Week in Evelyn House

It is a week to the day when the new housemates moved into Evelyn House and were being shown to their room. In this week the students have settled in quickly and without fuss to live in Evelyn.

The Evelyn family meet twice daily, 8.20am and 6.30pm. The first meeting was quiet but as the days have gone by the boys are now finding their voice.

The first social event has already been planned for the evening of Thursday 24th. of September when the boys will be hosting a BBQ with College 1 boarders from Rowntree House.

The boys have successfully passed their first training course, How to use the Washing Machine. They have the certificate to prove it!

A new 108Mb ADSL2+ router has been installed in Evelyn and the network has been extended into the coach-house. The wireless range has also been extended. This is a short term measure until the new fibre optic cable is laid linking Evelyn House to the Bootham computer network. The work is imminent.

The below picture was taken today outside of Evelyn House. Is the road being dug up to lay the new cable?

This evening the house filled with the sound of the fire alarm as the practice fire drill took place. All went well and everyone soon returned to what they were doing and some form of peace and tranquility was restored.

Until next time........
