The First Week
Week one down! Uni has been so far a mix of things. Scary as hell, good fun, and a bit daunting. Reading itself is less than I hoped, being more a crime riddled big city near the capital and less the fun and exciting new place I hoped it would be. Apparently a student was stabbed and killed on campus last year, and in one area we got told to avoid, three people were shot and killed. Scary. And it's very daunting not knowing your way around. I really miss Plymouth and its simplicity, the good ol' grid and how I knew everything.
I really like everybody I've met here, and are good friends with them. Even if they aren't always the type of people I'd like to hang out with (and aren't 100% certain they all like me). Example: the other day, one person from my flat and two 'extras' were discussing how much they'd pay for weed back home. But I can overlook that and they're all really good people, and I don't think they mind me really. At least, I hope not! I think they can find me rather annoying, or at least rude at time, with the style of jokes I make (which not everybody finds funny here!). But they ARE a decent group of people, and I'm really glad I have them around, rather than some of the other .... characters... I hear about (like a girl who goes around proclaiming her name is 'Big T' and that she's 'down with the kids'...).
Miss everybody hell of a lot though. Might be coming home for a day soon! I look forward to that, just to be back on familiar ground, I hate not knowing where I am or my way around. 'Course, I'll learn that eventually, I hope!
Tomorrow should prove interesting, a 9.00am lecture (my first proper one!) and laundry. I'm SO nervous about starting my subject proper, I'm petrified that I won't like it and that I'm on the wrong course, but we'll see.
