Uni

2 min read
Wow, again it has been a while since writing one of these, time has been flying since moving to uni.

It has definitely been an ongoing experience, my first night entailed of a bearded guy offering me a drink of brandy from a hollow glass sword, drinking for hours with three random girls and dancing to exhaustion. And after that some weird things have happened on other nights out; I joined up for the windsurf society since I had windsurfed before, and on the socials we have dressed up as policemen, penguins and had been written on all over our faces with pen. One night i was given a challenge to get as many girls' numbers written on my arm, I ended up with thirty three by the end of the night. Other odd stories include: an incredibly drunk girl telling me she loves me as her first words to me, then hugging me; accidentally jabbing a girl in the throat while covered in paint; waking up at 4am because of a fire alarm and many more.

Signing up for the windsurf society was a really good move, windsurfing is so much fun, and since I have done it before the older students who teach us like me because of my enthusiasm. They're a really cool group of people.

I took architecture for my course, it is a lot better than I thought it would be because there is a lot more art to it rather than lots of maths. There is a lot of work we have to do though, I am procrastinating now by writing this journal.

I have managed to make a few good friends, but after a long day of working and talking to people I like to be quiet and by myself for a while. Undoubtedly I do really miss my cat, but I have been home a couple of times and it was like I had never left, he just rolled over and meowed for me to tickle him.  

All for now, until next time.

The Summer

1 min read
It's been a while since I've done one of these. A lot has happened over the summer: I've been working a lot; I've been out with friends a fair amount to Brighton, The Hunterian Museum, and been to a few bars; I've been to the gym almost every day this summer and I've practiced a fair bit of art. 

I've always been a morning person, I can stay out late but I will almost always get up early, so I find that I can usually do something productive in each day. 

However I now have exactly one week until I go to uni. I'm a bit nervous and I'm going to miss my cat a hell of a lot, but if I keep myself busy and make good friends, I'm sure I'll be fine.

Finally

Woo! I passed my driving test yesterday! It was the third time I took the test but it was well worth it.

I have a lucky jade lion that I stroked yesterday before my test. My Grandad gave it to me stating that 'It will protect you and give you virtue', and so it seems to have done so.

Yesterday I started a new job indexing folders for a solicitor. 

There are over 400 folders, in stacks of about 10. It takes me an hour to do one stack, but at £7.50 an hour it's not so bad.

The building is above a modern coffee shop which is ironic seeing that the solicitors offices haven't changed much since Victorian times. They still use fax machines and computers with dial up connection, and I'm not allowed to drink the water from the taps because the pipes are old and made of lead. 

Today I used the last of the boxes given to hold the folders, so tomorrow I have to go into 'the attic' to get more.

I wonder what else could be up there...

So I searched around online about that bad test I took yesterday, and it seems as though the whole country found the test unnaturally hard. Apparently the exam board sent out some papers that were meant to be our papers but they got leaked, so they used these 'replacements' that they gave us. 

Fortunately this means that the grade boundaries are likely to be low and I am in with a shot of passing. 

Some relief.
