First post in some time

UPDATE ON LIFE

Been back at uni for a week and a half! In a much nicer house, though my room is not quite as good as I remember it. Isn't that always the way? It's pretty big, though I only have a single bed this time (I should stop moaning about this) but in general much better than the last one. However, we live almost a half hour walk away from campus rather than the 2 minutes like we did previously! Fortunately I have friends from Gloucester who drive past my street on their way in so they give me a lift half of the time, and occasionally one my housemates (who does the same subject as me) will drive us places too.

As my parents were leaving after helping me move in, both my mum AND my dad kissed my (female) housemate on the cheek and everyone else is now jealous.

I have Wednesdays free, no lectures before 11:15 etc etc so my timetable is pretty good, including my assignments which are much more spread out this time! However, I've got my dissertation to start (properly) working on so that's not so much fun...

Rebelling against THE MAN by considering skipping most of my Monday lectures; it's the 1st year extra module I'm doing, and the only assessments are 2 essays. I'm thinking of only going to the lectures that are relevant to the questions I want to do, and any others that might interest me (unlikely). Seems fair enough, right? I only need to pass that module, I want to do well in the 3rd year classes which actually matter. I discussed with my Mum and she agreed with me so that makes me feel better. THOUGHTS ON MY REBELLION WELCOME.

In relation to the above I have started my first assignment 5 weeks early (I eat 1000 word document commentaries for breakfast, to be honest, especially when I only need to get 40%).

I joined a gym! My housemate is planning to go 4 times a week so hopefully I'll be a fittie by Christmas, at which point I'll gorge myself and get fat again. Proof of membership, horrible curtain fringe and bundled dressing gown shown in photo below:

• In case you were wondering (probably not), my nails are currently painted with OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark.
• Still sexually attracted to my Spotify Premium account, I think he/she/it may be The One. Aforementioned housemate (who from this point onwards shall be known as R) is woefully single and wants that to change so expect us both to be married by the end of this academic year.
• Had heroic moment earlier as my R and I helped an old lady but I'll describe that in another post (maybe) if I can think of anything else to say and once I have watched more TV shows about food with R (I promise I do spend time with other people as well)
• Also SPONTANEOUS BEACH VISIT but that will have to go in another post too because TV is calling
