Updatage!
Howdy folks!
I'm actually enjoying myself over here in Southampton. I think I've settled into university life (well, the social part of it - I've done about 5 minutes of work :S) quite well, and I see myself having a great 3 years here. Interestingly, the people who were having the best time during freshers week and were partying every night for two weeks are now the ones who I hear saying they might quit at Christmas or after a year. I find this interesting because these are the people I have decided I am not bothered with being friends with. Not because of that, but because I find them exceedingly boring. They're the sort of people who always had someone to sit next to in class and eat lunch with and always went to the parties and generally looked like they were happy.
There was a time when I envied them because they were normal and happy-seeming, but it has now come to light that not only are they exceedingly boring, they are also not the sort of people I want to be best buds with. Not that I want to be enemies, and i've come to also realise that you can never spare friends, I just don't think they're interesting enough to warrant too much of my attention. I think that all that goes on in their heads is very boring and generic.
The weird or camp or geeky or, to be frank, ugly people are far more interesting as people and friends.
In other news, I had a lovely night out on Saturday night with muchos dancing (yes, I danced) and drinkies and hair fluffling, and hopefully Wednesday will be another day like it. Also, Adam is coming to see me on Friday so YAY :D:D:D:D
I'm a bit pissed that i only get one hour of criminology a week though, and most of the rest of my lectures are boring. I think I'll be skipping a lot of the Friday at 5 ones.
I feel quite at home.
