Uni beckons

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
