Uni diaries part 2: Mashup

Last night was my first big night-out at the campus nightclub. I went with one of my flatmates as the rest weren't really up for going to the event as its not really their thing. So my flatmate and I decided that we head off to the other block for pre-drinks, but I didn't really drink until I got to the club, but even when we got to the club I only had one drink which was a vodka and cranberry (which i always get). Once we got to the club it was pretty dead at first but it got packed really quickly, their were 3 different rooms playing different genres of music and obiously i went to the room which were playing R&B music but to be honest the dj was pretty sh*t, he wasn't really playing much R&B music until much later into the night. How is black eyed peas where is the love and r&b song, like nooo!! then you had the biggest room which where playing all the white people music like house and alternative rock and rubbish like that, and there was literally no black person in site.

It was actually a really good first night-out, I got back at like 3 and didn't get to bed until 4 which was annoying as I had to wake up at 8:30 for a welcome talk which was absolutely pointless and a waste of my time, when I could be in bed sleeping.Then I wasted even more time when I could have taken a nap (i guess you can tell that sleeping is very important to me) as I was suppose to head to the chemistry building for a welcome talk for 2pm but my flatmate who is also doing chemistry received an email (which i did not receive) saying she had to be at the building for 12:45 for registration so I thought I should go down at that time aswell just in case I miss anything. And what do I end up doing just waiting or 45mins till it was 2pm because that was when the welcome talk actually started. I COULD HAVE FITTED IN A GOOD HOUR AN HALF NAP! I was soo tired during that welcome talk, I felt like was was gonna drift to sleep at any point during the guys talk, it wasn't even a lecture so how I'm I gonna cope when lectures actually start and i have gone out the night before, I'm gonna be dead. But im defo not going to miss any lectures, i don't see the point that your spending all this money for uni yet your not going to attend lectures. They did give us some useful info, like what books we need for the course, there is one text book that cost £65!!! i don't get why it's so expensive. and I wish they told us the reading list week prior to moving to uni then, that would have meant I would have been able to order the books off Amazon and been able to take it with me to uni, because I have no idea how im going to order, as I don't really know the address of my halls. I might just send it to my house and just pick it up one day I'm free.

Btw im going to start going back to jogging on friday, I defo don't want to add any weight during uni just hav to push myself to wake up early.

Uni Diaries part 1

So I've offically moved in to uni and currently typing away in my new room. Everyone was kinda right about the awkwardness that comes when meeting new people and adjusting to the knew surroundings.So lets start from the beginning, so me and mum decided to take a cab, as there was no way of fitting my stuff into our car and plus i don't think my mum wants to drive all the way to reading with all my stuff at the back, its kinda long, Anyway off we went, on route to my uni. In the car I was thinking that I had everything , but me being me I forget the most important thing, my chemistry folder with all my A level notes. So we had to go all the way back home , lucky we were only about 15mins away, so it wasn't much of a trek to go back but it did mean that we had to pay a bit extra which was annoying. So once again for the second time off we where to my uni. Once I had arrived I had to get my keys for my room from reception and my mum started to unload the car.

I happened to be on the top floor which was soo long especially because I had to carry all my suitcases up the stairs which had no lift!! At this point I had met my first house mate and she happened to be somebody I already know from back home, which was cool at  least i had one person to talk to. So once I had brought all my stuff to my room, and had a 5min, more like a 20min breather I was told that we had to go to some fire talk which was held on campus. So before that i just walked my mum to the bustop said our goodbyes (were not really ones for getting emotional) and off she went, leaving me in a city I have no clue about.

So i eventually met all my flatmates and they seem pretty cool, and easy to talk to, but the thing is two of them never wanna go out, like we have 2 weeks of freshers yet they don't wanna go to any of the events, which seems kinda pointless, i just don't get it. My other housemate seems up for all the events, so i at least I have one but becuz there is only 4 of us at the moment (because one is a postgrad and an international student, so is not really into the whole fresher thing and the other moved in then went back home after the fire talk, she's coming back on sunday, and im still yet to meet her) so its kind of awkard that half of us want to go out and the other half don't. I just feel if they didn't wanna go out why didn't they just apply to the quiet halls, so that I can have flatmates that wanna have fun. I have literally cried about three times now cos its not going how I want it to go, like I had a good evening yesterday and had such a laugh but its just today that I have had really nothing to do just the canival fair,which wasn't all that. Its just making me miss home a lot more. At the moment im just bored out of my mind. Hopefully it will get better soon because I can't deal with this boredom. I met some people in the other block who literally seem up for anything so I think Im just gonna tag along with them, cos they seem like they know how to have a good time, i want to have the time of my life in these two weeks and for rest of my first year and not be in my room doing nothing.  

So thats how I feel at the moment about uni, hopefully its will start getting better from tomorrow once the events start going and I start meeting new people

The eve I move to Uni

So im offically moving to uni tomorrow/today (because im writing this at like 3:00 in the morning.
Everything is packed and im ready to start my first year, its crazy how fast my gap year has gone, and now its time for me to start my degree. I'm so excited and pumped but yet a bit nervous because I get so awkward when I meet new people, and I know there's going to be the occasional akward silence, and always repeating what you said to different people i.e what course your doing blah blah, but im looking foward to meeting new people and moving out my house for the year.

Only one week to go

So I only got one week to go before i go to Uni, I leave for uni September 18, im excited, and bit nervous but defo more exicted than nevous . Gosh I didn't realise how much stuff I needed to buy before going to uni, literally my room is overfilling with bags and receipts i have no idea if all this stuff is going to fit into the cab. I was able to find a vacancy at a supermaket that is about 1hour away from uni which is a lot better than always travelling back home every weekend for work and it will save me a bit of money. Hopefully i get the job, i have a meeting/interview with the manager of the store on friday so fingers cross i get it, well luck seems to be coming my way today 1st i didn't stall once in my driving lesson for the first time today, which is quite a big achievement for me seeing as i have always been stalling in my past lessons, and secondly I just won my first ever prize in the euromillions, well only 11.70 but its still something, (as my mum said). So hopefully luck is on my side on friday and I hopefully get the job because it would be soo helpful.

Boys update: THERE IS NO UPDATE AT ALL. I'm sticking to my word and giving up on boys till uni, so really only giving them up for a week as im off next week.......well there was this one guy i saw last week who was so hot and had such a nice smile (so i guess im a sucker for a good smile) he was so cute but i doubt i will ever see him again seeing as that was the first time i had seem him and im going to uni now. Moreover im totally over F, lol reading my post before on how upset I was about him with another girl makes me laugh so much, i don't understand why i cared so much,i can do so much better!! he was not worth my time lol

Going to keep this post short, but yh, ready for uni just need to get some last minute things like storage things and stuff but defo excited, bring on freshers week!!!!
