Well, I haven’t really blogged in over two weeks, and well, noones commented in the last month, so something must seriously be wrong. I’ll look into that later.

Anyway, incase anyone actually is listening, well reading, this is what the last month has really been like. Great. That’s it, but yeah I’m sure more details are requested than that, so I will give you some of them.

Lectures, have still remained interesting, this is very good, cos I was concerned that even thought the first week was good, they would start getting dull and not very interesting, luckily they have remained to still be very interesting, which I am very glad of. I have learned quite a lot and unlike Sixth Form which basically was a bit boring at times, all these lectures have remained interesting to me, as it is all stuff I am genuinely interested in, which should be helpful when it comes to exams, because I’m really interested I should naturally work harder to learn more, just to help fix my morbid curiosity over such things :)
Apart from lectures, well we’re starting a little pool tourney type thing with a couple of people in my flat, it will be fun if we can ever deceide on when to do this properly. So far I’m second with a 50% win rate, someone has 100% and another 0%. Well, from 2 games each, those are the only possible outcomes so yeah, maybe we will all do better later once it gets to the 20 or 30 games played each stage, and umm I still only have 1 win lol.

I perhaps haven’t been going out partying or whatever as much as some other people here, or even as much as some of the people from us back at school, but the way I am seeing it, really is that the most important part about Uni, getting pissed each night so blindingly drunk that you cannot remember anything that has happened the night before, and other stuff like that. But hey, I’m having fun doing what I am, if life is about enjoying yourself (which it is) surely it doesn’t matter what the things you are doing are (unless its illegal in which case thats bad), I am enjoying myself, if people don’t like it, then they don’t like it.

I have noticed that University seems to be the one place where the credit crunch really hasn’t hit people. I suppose this is because as students we are screwed and poor anyway, so being more poor doesn’t really affect us. Maybe we’ll sell the big issue, because there seem to be alot more of those people areound these days, and they’re getting more clever, hanging round near ATM machines and stuff.

I haven’t completely blown all my student loan yet. No, not entirely just most of it, so far my text book bill has gone up to about £250, and a couple of those books are just for the first semester, when Week 13 comes, I’ll need more. All I can say is thank fuck for the student discount that there has been at Waterstones for the past month, cos that really has helped. Also, thanks to the NUS Extra Card, 5% off at Amazon also helps a little. I hope I don’t have to spend too much more on text books, otherwise I will need to start magically finding money in places to help pay for them, and yes I know Skillers, I still need to magically make some money for Techious, but I’m sure we can find a way of getting some!!!

That is the main bits of what has been going on, I will try and post more regurally on this now but would help if stuff works round here.

Anyway, work is calling, dammit :P

Holy Shoot, It’s Tomorrow!

Well, that’s it, last night of proper sleep for a year as yup thats it I leave my house and move into University. Well, I say move into Uni, my Student House is about one and half to two miles away from the main University precinct, so won’t that be fun lol. Everything’s packed and ready to go (some is even in the car already) so I’m ready for an early start; my aim is to get there for the start of the moving in time (10am) because there is like 4 car parking spaces if that for 200 people, so I really don’t want to be caught in the rush, that would just be utter chaos. No gaming for me tonight, the pc is in pieces ready to be built and I’m writing this on my laptop anyway.

How am I feeling about it? Well, to be honest I don’t know what to think, I’m really nervous about what I will find and will happen when I get there. The way I see it, one of two things will happen, either I will move in and instantly find people who become my friends, or I spend the entire year being completely and utterly isolated from everyone. Now, I know I will probably still play my games (alot) and work (alot) but I do not want things to come to the state where my room is just some door that is locked 24/7 with no one knowing who lives there, though knowing my luck, it’ll be a little that, but hopefully not that. Also, for the sake of everything we’ve done so far, I hope Steam works at University, otherwise the future of Techious and everything might be at risk, then again it is really Mark who it must work for being he seems to be paying for 90% of the server.

Uni itself, I’m not too sure, I haven’t actually done any work for real in months so the first couple of weeks are going to hit me hard. By the fourth week I’m sure I’ll have everything under control. Keeping in touch with everyone from Newent is also a priority for me, it seems even during the two weeks or less since the first people moved, things have started to drift a little with noone talking to anyone much. But hey, hopefully we’ll keep in touch, hence why I had the nice little “Our Group” forum on Techious, we can use that to keep in touch at least, even if we can’t do just Teamspeak or Skype or large group conversations on Windows Live (but dead) Messenger.

Anyway, I spose I better get off to bed for that early start (which soon 3pm will be an early start :P)
