Theres still an outside world?!
Wow. Im amazed. I was walking past the newsagents on campus the other day and I saw the headline 'Blair gives OK on Iraq' So as far as I can tell war could have been declared and no one's got round to telling me. I still have this image of comming down one morning to find everyone else enlisted and I'm left to wander the campus on my own. (which is, btw, 4 times the size of my home town and 1/3 the size of the city)
So if theres anything that has happened that people feel I should know about feel free to tell me.
You know the media's portrayal of university life being like sex drugs and rock and roll? Its a lie. So far everyone just speaks politely to each other. Since the bar which, despite being the biggest in europe, is always 6 people deep there is little drink, little drugs and, as far as I can tell, virtually no sex. Despite the fact that my housemates are constantly 'on the pull' (i hate hate HATE that phrase) and are vowing to get pissed everyone always seems to come home sober and alone. The most debauched thing that has happened to me was when a bloke I was talking to turned bright red and mumbled that he would like it if I stayed for a bit longer and he could walk me home. Thats how normal everything is at the moment.
I have to admit Im a tad dissapointed, while I am attatched and am trying to cut down on the drink, I still like to laugh at everyone else, and their lack of debauchery is getting me down. *tsk*
The people I hang out most with at the moment are half heartedly pretentious people who enjoy going to the indie clubs in town and dancing madly. Its a brilliant way to lose weight, at the moment Im on 1 meal a day, 4 hours sleep and 2 hours random movement a night. Hopefully I should lose a few pounds soon. The only problem is that Im drinking, which is full of nasty calories. We worked out that we're averaging about 5 units a day at the moment. Doesnt classify as binge drinking, not enough to get anyone drunk, but will help pile on the pounds. grrrr@that
Anyway, hope everyone is ok. Ive been trying to read through all your journals but you shouldnt write so much. Makes it so hard for me to read :)
Edit: ooh yeah. everything is now remarked. now have AAA for my A levels. whih I have to admit I am fairly cuffed about
