Ill

'nuff said really

Wikipedia is awesome

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Just had a wicked night at the union, and who would be joining me, non other than the legendary izzy!
Twas a great time, with many of my nerdy friends pawning over her, us counting the girls in stafford (we got to seven!), and generally wikipediaing (that is now a word) everything and anything we could think of.
Everyone take vitamin D, otherwise you will end up with rickets!
Its SCIENCE!

Lack of updates

I have been rather busy see :P
I have done quite a bit in the last few days, including;
Rugby training
Going out
Starting my course
Going out
Cooking a proper meal :O
Having sunday lunch made for me
Going out
Havent been out enough tho.
My course so far has been wicked, altho all weve had so far are glorified introducing sessions. I have started using 3Ds max (the program used to make 3D models, amongst other things) and its glorious!
Whats worrying tho is how much work i have to do, and how little time i have to do it in, 12 weeks doenst sound like alot.
On the food side of things, im doing.... better. there have been days wehere ive just had toast, and days (today in fact) where i cooked pasta, sauce and chicken! Also, Red bull has become a staple part of my morning routine!

Details Details Details

For those who want to know (i assume you do if you are reading this) i am going to descibe more of my life here in Yarlet (my halls).
There are 17 lads sharing a massive kitchen, and any preconceptions abt food stealing and selfish acts are totally unfounded. All our plates/bowls/cutlery etc are communal, grab whats dry so to speak. Everyone clears up after themselves, people offer food around, wether they are generous by nature or just overestimated how many noodles yoy get is an entirely different matter.
To put it simple, everyone is a mate, and nothing bad has happened
Yet
I have also been locked out my room for the first time, got back from the student union at 4 am, went in my room for some unmemorable reason, and before you know it, i was in the kitchen minus my keys.
Luckily i managed to sleep in someone elses room, dont think i would have like to sleep in the corridor just yet.
On wednesday evening i had the first of many rugby 'socials', where basically everyone picks on the freshers. The guys are safe tho, the few freashers who did keel over were well looked after.
Needless to say, the last few nights have been fun, but heavy on the liver and wallet.

I must go, need to nap and go to training.
Im suddenly so busy!

P.S - COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

Finally...

Please excuse the spelling/grammar of this post, i have been out tonight :P
i have been out with the whole floor of my halls, and at last, friend have been made!
Sorted!
Duno if i want to move out now, i have a choice, en suite shower and toilet, or building on the friendship that have been made tonight.
Im leaning towards the latter
I mean, i have a drummer friend, and rpg friend, a guy who shares the same music tastes as me (and who lived in sutton coldfield, bonus!) and they all play comutergames, my ideal clique of friends.
I shall finally be looking forward to tomorrow

Listening to Back to School - Deftones

Who organised the school day?

Noone is up at 9 o'clock, hell, im barely up at 12.
Second day has been easier, guess its all down to time. Can't wait to move into a new room aswell, 17 people sharing a kitchen and 4 showers is annoying. Will be easier to make friends if theres only 3 or 4 ppl sharing facilities, more of me to go around then :P
I have been surprisingly pro-active and signed up for no less than 4 clubs/societies, which no doubt i will have little time for and promptly quit, but its the thought that counts right? Signed up for rugby, ultimate frisbee, kendo and the inevitable rpg club.
All of which will cost me money.
This student loan better come soon.

Listening to Scary Mary - Biffy Clyro

I hate bars...

...standing there for an hour is not the way i would like to spend an evening.
The first night is over, and whoever said making friends is easy because everyones in the same situation is a massive liar or incredibly outgoing.
I imagine making friends is gonna be a slow process for me, which sucks cus until then im on my own. All is not lost however, i have been hanging round a group of... aqaintances, more awkward silences than conversation, but its a start.
Had to be up at 9.30 for the first time in months, which has been a real shock, don't know if my body thinks its a real time yet. First impressions of the course seems cool, except i have my timetable...
Monday. 9 o'clock. Motion capture (the most active part of the course).
Bugger.

Listening to I Still Remember - Bloc Party

Looks like we made it...

Ah self-sufficiency, its hard work i tell you.
After what seemed like hours running back and forth trying to find the required information to set up the internet, i finally feel like ive settled in. Of course i dont know anyone (and my usual tactic of retreating to a pc wont help that) but im hoping that getting drunk at the student union will mean i find one friend, or at least make a name for myself.
My room is...disappointing, yes its amazingly large, to the point where my feeble belongings make it look bare, but its also rather... scutty and old, and theres no ensuite.
I was promised an ensuite.
Nevertheless, im sure with some clothes strewn on the floor and the comforting glow of my monitor, it will start to feel like home.
Now for the next big step, cooking
This will be fun....

End of an Era

Here i am, the night before i go to university, leaving behind the last 18 years of my life. This blog has two purposes, for the people i leave behind to learn what i am doing, and to serve as a vent for my fustrations...
Who doesnt like listening to someone elses opinion eh?
At 1 o'clock tomorrow i will be resposible for my own existence, so if you know me, youll know how screwed i am :P
its not like i havent packed yet or anything...
