I feel it's time I did an entry, even though I have better things to do.
I can't even remember when I posted last, so I'll just write about what I remember, and will probably have forgotten about loads of events.
Uni is very familiar to last year; I'm not sleeping well, and as a result I'm missing loads of lectures. I'm just about keeping up through reading notes on the internet and textbooks, but I don't have a clue about Partial differential equations, so will have to see my tutor about that, because the way it's going, there's no way in hell I'll be able to pass it.
As for the sleeping problems, I'm seeing the doctor this afternoon. That probably means I will be on pills again this time tomorrow :( Hopefully these ones won't make me feel so ill though, and maybe they might actually work, and I'll be the normal me again, not the depressed, lethargic arsehole that I feel like at the moment.
As for the Indiesoc, it's not going so well at the moment. Not to say that the Soc as a whole isn't going well, quite the opposite in fact. It's just my experience of it this year hasn't been so great. I'm falling behind on my duties as Events officer, and wouldn't be surprised if I was relieved of my status sooner or later because of this. I'm struggling to get to know anyone at all; all of the freshers seem to be in their own little cliques already, and I just can't seem to find a way to talk to any of them. All of the people that I do manage to have a decent conversation with don't turn up again. I'm not gonna be really emo and say it's probably because of me, but it is bloody annoying. As for going out, with my complete lack of energy, I rarely feel like going out with them, and when I do, it's because I feel obliged to, and end up not having a very good time. Also, we seem to be going out loads, and at awkward times, what with my ridiculous timetable.
The Halloween house party is next weekend, which I'm looking forward to. I have decided on my costume, and will need to gather up some bits and bobs for it over the next week. I have decided to go as Marilyn Monroe, which should be amusing. Despite probably being able to do the hair, I might go for a wig instead, as it'll be easier. I'm borrowing some of Catie's high heels, which I plan to remove before I get too drunk, coz that could be dangerous. Hopefully one of the girls will do me some makeup. All I need then is a white dress. Nobody seems to have one, which is annoying. I might have to charity shop it up. It should be a good night; I just hope our house isn't trashed!
I now have a job. I'm working for West One, a catering company, who apparently work in loads of places around Manchester. So far I have done 2 shifts. The first was in Man City stadium on Saturday, where I worked behind a bar. It was complete hell; loads of drunken bastards shouting at me, all the other staff staying down one end of the bar leaving me on my own, Fosters pumps breaking down every few minutes, shite tills etc. With all my frustrations, quite a few people made off with pints without paying for them. After it was all over, the others had a big joke at me, while it was mostly their fault because they weren't helping me at all. Fucking bastards.
My second shift was on Tuesday night in Old Trafford. I was working in one of the posh suites, and was a food runner for the kitchen. Basically my job was to take food out to people, and not have a break at all for about 4 hours. We then had to clean up during the match, and serve drinks during half time and after the match, then clean everything completely when they had all left. I left there at about 11:45, 8 odd hours after I had started. It was much preferable to Saturday, but incredibly tiring. Because most of us there had never done it before, and the ones that had had to be made supervisors, we fucked up loads, and pissed just about everyone off. Unsurprisingly, we didn't make any tips at all, whereas they can occasionally make a tenner each apparently. Still, I should be paid nearly £45 for the night, which I can't really complain about.
Me and Nat are going to visit Leeds this weekend, which should be fun. I'm gonna go shopping for a load of new clothes, and usually need someone with me, coz I'm crap at clothes shopping on my own, and Nat is great to go shopping with. Also, Oceansize are playing in a mini festival type thingy tomorrow night, which I was planning on going to. However, it's not particularly convenient, especially as I don't know Leeds at all, so I might not bother. They're also playing in Bolton a week Friday, which I might go to if it isn't too difficult.
I have 2 gigs coming up. Sunday is Guillemots, which I'm really looking forward to now, as I have really got into them recently. Then on Monday is the Dears, which should be fantastic. The new album, despite being very cut back compared to the last one, is fucking brilliant, and I can imagine them expanding on it quite a bit. Maybe no 25 minute tracks like they used to do, but hopefully a good few extended endings.
Bloody hell, that was a bit epic. I should probably try to do entries more often.
