Well, this is pretty much it. I head off to university on Sunday, starting a new chapter of my life and all that. I'm massively excited, of course. Much interesting Classics to be done, clubs and societies, Freshers week, going out on a night, meeting new people and making new friends. And best of all, I'll be much closer to my girlfriend when I'm at Warwick, and I'll get to see her a lot more often. I'm going to miss my family and friends, Yorkshire and being able to get away with doing little to nothing during the day (I watched Poirot for 5 hours solid yesterday), but overall, I can't wait to ship off and start my student life.
Packing is difficult though. It's only when you start packing that you realise how little of the stuff you're going to need you actually own, so you end up having to go shopping loads over about a week. Clothes, books, bedsheets, stuff for self catering like pots and pans, plates and cutlery, cleaning stuff, food, all sorts. And then when you've done all that, you keep worrying you've forgotten something. Definitely one of the less fun things about starting uni.
And then there's the traditional worries about money. But this is definitely looking up, for me at least. I've been in charge of sound tecching for school productions for the last 3 years, and I've done quite a bit to do with that sort of thing, including doing paid work. And I've discovered I can keep doing it at uni, and I'll actually get paid for it! Not a bad find on the Student Union website, there.
Anyways, enough of my ramblings now, peace and love everyone

New post for a new month
Ok, so I know it isn't the very start of the month, but at least I'm still making the effort to post pretty regularly. Cut me some slack, alright?
University accommodation has been sorted, finally. Its taken ages to start getting all this stuff sorted out, and its a relief to know I actually will have somewhere to stay for the next year. The accommodation looks pretty nice, its got a "mezzanine" level and everything, and I should be sharing the room with one of my best mates, so looks like next years going to be pretty good.
Also, I've got all my freshers stuff through from Uni this week. I didn't realise how much stuff actually goes on during freshers. There's club nights in the Student Union every night, a Freshers Party on the first night, a circus in the second week, Freshers fairs, meetings for all sorts of clubs and societies, book sales, pots and pan sales, elections for the Union Council, and all sorts of other stuff. The problem is, we also have lectures and stuff while this is all going on, so I have no idea how I'm going to fit everything in. Should be interesting, to say the least!
As for the rest of this week, I've been to a few parties, pub trips, gatherings etc, which were all pretty cool. I've been practising the guitar ( I took it up again after about 9 years, and I'm still as awful as ever), trying desperately to remember some Latin, and failing miserably, and generally doing lots of small, yet important things. I'm going to see the most beautiful girl in the world tomorrow, and I'm hosting a little shindig on Saturday. Should be pretty good!
That's about it really, so until my next post
Peace and love
