it’s only just begun…
Sooo. I’ve been at university for seventeen days, three of which I spent back home. I don’t think I will be back in Lincolnshire until Christmas now, so I made the most of my weekend back home! Anyway, I’ve already got a few regrets under my belt.
Firstly, everyone is going to Ministry of Sound tonight. Initially, I was also going out, but to 10:10, an ABACUS event for London Chinese university students. However, I didn’t purchase the tickets off this guy I know because I didn’t think anyone else would be going. Major regret, to be honest. I’m sat here wishing I had bought that ticket just so I could go to the Penthouse in Leicester Square (I have only heard good things with regards to this club!). Dammit.
Anyway, it is my birthday on Monday and I have invited some coursemates around for dinner and drinks. Because my birthday is so soon into term, it is hard to choose who I really want to spend my birthday with, so as a result, I just invited near enough everyone! I’m celebrating it a week on Friday instead as no one has any events going on the day after.
On my course, I have met some really friendly people. Currently, the people I have met and speak to on a regular basis are pretty cool and we all have a laugh. That is however, probably the only highlight of the course so far. The lectures are currently going over things already covered in A Level. My teachers back in Sixth Form were probably a few of the best as some of the stuff we covered in class last year is pretty much into degree level stuff. However, I am sure how hard the course advances will accelerate dramatically, and pretty soon, I will probably be out of my depth. Just my luck. Sit tight to find out if that is the case.
Right now, it is seriously annoying having to print out lecture notes before every lecture. I don’t have a printer at the moment as I couldn’t fit it in the suitcases I brought down. My mum is going to bring it down for me though in a few weeks. It can’t come quick enough!
So far, university is pretty much feeling like school but with the extras such as cooking, having to rely on oneself to get up on time for lectures, etc. I’m liking this new independance, but at the same time, it is exhausting!
