Sporadic updating!

Me carving our design

Our finished pumpkin

So with Halloween drawing closer (9 days to be exact) my flat decided that we needed a bit of a bonding session, and so came in to existence the most amazing pumpkin ever (if i must say so myself) We couldn't agree on an appropriate design so we settled for our flat number, 4100, we are going to get some bigger pumpkins later in the week and carve our own designs in to them but for now I'm very proud of our tiny flat pumpkin. Unfortunately we aren't allowed candles in hall so we have to use a tiny electric "candle" that changes colours, it doesn't have the same effect but at least its something.

Meanwhile however things haven't being going so well across the board last Friday I was sat in my script class when my neck started to get itchy, so obviously like any normal person I scratched it, however this only made it worse and by the end of the lesson my neck and lower face were red from the itching. Once I was home and could have a proper look at what the hell was going on I realised that I had this rash all over, so over the weekend I looked like I had rolled around in a stinging nettle patch, I still don't know what the cause of this was, however my mum things that it was a reaction to something. So I spent my weekend looking like a red itchy blob, FUN!! If it persists I'm going to have to go to the medical centre and they will probably send me to the hospital to do tests. YAY... In the meantime however I was still made to go to the Sunday night pub quiz at the SU (students union) bar, I really didn't feel like going so wasn't the best company and we didn't even win! we came 4th out of 7, the only thing I actually got out of that night was covered in cider and black and some flirting done, I'll mention some more about this flirting if it goes any where if not then there will be some very unhappy posts. 

On a better note me and my script writing partner came up with an idea for our script, HALLELUJAH!! considering we need to have written a 1 sentence pitch and a paragraph long treatment by this friday, I think we're finally making some headway with this project, now we just need to figure out exactly what  our script is going to be about, that wont be hard at all... I don't know why we had such an issue trying to come up with an idea for our script as most of our conversations tend to be of made up scenarios. I also came up with several tattoo ideas, if only these were helpful to script writing, I'd have a million ideas.

Anyway go sporadic updating, unfortunately this is what my style of writings like and i may go weeks without posting and then have 6 posts in the space of 4 days, I'm sorry I wish I could change my writing patterns but I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Thank you & goodnight.

The first month.

"Just be confident, you are doing better than you think"

So I started university about a month and a half ago now and what a month and a half its been! I moved in to halls, leaving my mum and step dad to continue with their own exciting new chapter (http://nbgaladay.blogspot.co.uk), met my roommates, started classes and had to make new friends; thankfully I had alcohol there to make sure I stayed classy through this stressful period...  

Seriously though when this journey started I had no idea what to expect, being a painfully shy person (I know right!) I was terrified of meeting new people or messing up on the first day, you know anything that may make me a centre of attention for more that 1 second, however having taken on the advise of a very close friend I kept my head high and stayed true to the real me and just like that I felt better, more confident and a  lot happier with everything that was going on, it also helped that a friend from my previous college course is up here with me.

I definitely got a good group of roommates, as it goes we only have 4 permanent tenants in our flat, including me, the other three are foreign students from America who are only here for the one semester. In light of there only being for of us we seem to merged with another flat we spend a lot of our spare time hanging out in either theirs or our communal living space. 

Classes seem to have been my downfall so far, not saying that I don't enjoy them, they are brilliant and I love learning about the film industry, its just I'm a first year student my blood is now considered to be about 20% alcohol, at least. So I'm usually hungover which means I've fallen asleep in almost every class. This risky move has lead to me to take up drinking coffee. Not only do I enjoy it but I find myself thinking about it for a good portion of the 30min walk to campus, I think I have an addiction.  

In the brief period I've been here I've drank roughly my weight in alcohol, learnt how to fall asleep sitting up, dyed my hair an unnatural colour, gone food shopping (a truly terrifying experience), made some great friends and got my self a club promoting job. Not bad for a month and a half I think, lets just see how the rest of the year pans out from here...

Thank you & goodbye.
