So today sees the end of the first week as a fresher at uni. And it's not agreeing with me. These early mornings and late nights will be the death of me...but I have got my timetable for the 5th of October onwards and it looks pretty darn good.
Monday: 12-2pm, Environmental Management. 3-5, Introducing Human Geographies.
Tuesday: 10am-1pm, Term 2 only, Field Activities.
Wednesday: Nowt.
Thursday: Nowt.
Friday: 10am-12pm, Principles of Sustainability. 12pm-3pm, Geographical Concepts and Practice.
So while I have to do a lot of boring things, I get like 3 days off a week. Good times. I do also have to pay £3000 for the privilege. Bad times.
I wonder what the point is sometimes though, getting this degree. I mean, once I've got it I may have a few more letters after my name and another qualification...but it wont give me the edge. And I'll be in debt. I do get despondent sometimes but I guess I just have to continue reminding myself that these 3 years in education are 3 more years that I don't have to get a full time job for. Chica chica yeeeeah!!!
I have spent the last week swinging between wanting to stay in bed all the time and wanting to go out and have a great time, getting drunk and doing naughty things. I have been a little ill, the Metformin I'm taking has side effects of giving you a dodgy tummy for like 2 weeks and unfortunately I am edhering to the statistics on this one. But I have been doing research about PCOS and metformin, and I learned that eating low GI foods can help me and also aid the process of losing weight. While this means that with a little shopping and lot of effort, I may start to actually look like a real person instead of Mr Blobby, it also means I have to eat stuff like Luke does. Like porridge, whole grain bread, cereal bars and museli. Mmmmm delish! I will feel like a squirrel by the end of it. Blergh.
So my loan came in today. Cheeky £2000? Schwing. I'm torn between buying a new phone or buying myself some style. I might have to go for style seeing as I'm fed up of wearing the same 4 tshirts. I am not very impressed with the choice in Topshop or H&M anymore though, they just miss the target every time and make things either too boring (H&M...) or too stupid and expensive (Topshop, every time. And who even likes the Kate Moss stuff anymore?) so I might have to try and find somewhere else to shop. No mean feat!
Anywho. It's time to go shower and buy food. Lates x

Copying Adam...
I severely doubt that anyone who lives in the UK (or in fact, anyone at all...) is interested in the mindless blah that I have to offer, but Adam created a blog so I want one too :D
So I've done Thailand, I've got a flat and I'm living with the boy. What's next? Uni, of course. So far I have no feelings about this other than intrigue - what will it be like? Will I fit in? Will I make any friends? Will I enjoy the course? Well. To satisfy my curiosity I actually went on the MMU website to really REALLY look at the prospectus and check out what I'll be doing in each year of the course. So far, it looks pretty good, first year is the basics and getting to grips with the way uni works, second year I believe I have the option to study in the US or Australia (that will be something to think about!) and third year I don't want to think about too much because it's too far away. Haha.
Other than the one book I've bought for my course, I've not really done much else to prepare myself...seeing as uni starts in a few weeks I should probably get myself sorted. It will come to me as I require it I guess.
Along with a lot of worrying about money and life in general, I've just been working as much as Faith allows me to and dossing about at the flat with Luke. He's been trying to get me to work out (with him as personal trainer) but so far I have refused. Living in the flat is awesome; it's damp and small but for now, it's OURS and that's good enough for me. Life with Luke was difficult at first, but now we've sort of settled into a routine and learned more about each other in terms of mood and things like that. I believe that there is a lot more to learn about life though, all I know how to do so far is housework, food shopping and paying bills (although even that's messed up at the moment...stupid British Gas!!)
For now I think I'll leave it; I have nothing else of worth to comment on. I might update when I feel like it, when I have something to say or when I'm just so goddamned bored I might die.
