a week until my future begins
Soooo, it’s now a week until I start university. A week from now, I will be at the barbecue my halls of residence have arranged. I am very excited but also a bit apprehensive as this is my first time properly away from home. I have been chatting to some people via forums/Facebook and they all seem very nice, but I’m just scared when I actually meet them in real life, I end up being really shy and not talking. I do that a lot with new people!
I’m just about done packing; two suitcases fully packed (literally jammed, I had trouble shutting them) and one more to go. Then two weekend holdalls left also. Literally everyone around here has left, so I’m kinda glad to go. The timing feels right too.
Yesterday, I had my penultimate shift at the charity shop I volunteer at until the holidays. I felt a little sad as I feel I have grown up a lot there. Afterwards, my mum took me shopping. Big disaster. Not only have I realised I am a spendaholic, I have almost come to accept that at university, I may well be living off baked beans and toast for every meal of the day. We ventured into TK Maxx, and I got a Thomas Burberry jumper and a Tommy Hilfiger bra. All reduced massively. I love them. Only problem is, I loved the jumper so much, I didn’t even bother thinking what I would wear with it. Cue dilemma.
If feels weird packing everything away. It feels like I am just packing my life into suitcases and then moving onto a new life. An adult life. I’m almost 19 though, so I guess it is time to grow up really!
On a sidenote, my Ugg boots arrived a day after ordering them (shudoo.com are nothing but efficient it seems) and they are amazing. After years of hate, I am officially converted. They are the proper Ugg Australia brand, and seriously, I have had enough of buying fake Primark ones as 1) they aren’t comfy and 2) they don’t last very long. Here’s hoping my Uggs last ages. I am desperately pining after some sand ones right now. However, I know that if I do purchase them, I won’t be able to take them to uni with me anyway as I have little room in my remaining suitcase for essentials, never mind another pair of Ugg boots!
Oh well, just have to wait til my student loan comes in
