i hate shoes
today i decided that i didn't wanna work at schuh anymore. i used to work at the one in Reading, so i got a job at the new one in Westfield because it was an effortless task to get employed again for obvious reasons. unfortunately, everyone who worked there is rubbish and it generally was shit. so while getting ready to go in today, i was thinking "do i really wanna go?" the answer was no. so alas, i didn't go, and i don't plan to return. i'll probably regret this seeing as i'm £900 overdrawn, but hey, you only live once so who cares.
some cool stuff has happened since my last post. went to the fez club on wednesday for chav night. went into putney with the boiz (and alice) to get some stuff to wear. got some ridiculous tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt from sports direct.com. so cheap, it was so good. got really drunk and ended up throwing up in johnny's sink. good night. thursday it was bands night which was rubbish, but southern comfort was £1 all night, so had to get drunk. then got back and booked my flights to valencia for benicassim next year. really looking forward to that its gonna be sweeeet. yesterday (friday) i went home to get my car and bring it back to uni. its gonna be good having it here for the rest of the term because it means i dont have to get on a packed bus and travel back from asda with 4 bags full of really heavy shopping. buses are shit.
then last night was the beauty and geek bop. i went as a geek and got so drunk through my straw glasses. god bless.
tonight i'm heading home for the evening with rosie to see tris, laurie, jack and jess x2. its gonna be wicked to catch up with everyone.

first post
its 3am in the morning and i'm pretty bored. i've always been interested in reading other people's blogs so i thought i'd finally make my own. not sure if i'll keep up with it, but i'm gonna try my best.
so yea, i'm currently sitting in my room at university. i've been here for 8 weeks now and i can't believe how fast these weeks have gone. i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but either way i've had the most incredible 8 weeks of my life. i knew university would be good before i arrived, but i didn't think it would be as good as it has been. i live on a floor of roughly 28 people including myself. its pretty wicked, i've made a number of good friends on my floor. unfortuantely some of them are dickheads and need to lighten up, but nevertheless it's pretty sweet.
the first week of university is a bit of a blur, as are most of the other 7. i've never drank so much alcohol in a such a short amount of space in my life. it's weird thinking back to the first few days, even weeks where i was still trying to find my feet, find the people who i get on with most etc. alot of stuff has changed already, but as it stands i'm so happy with the friends i have made here.
so many memories already, most taking place in the kitchen on my floor. somehow, with joint efforts we created this game called the megaslide. we have a table and 2 benches in the centre of the kitchen, much like the tables you'd get at primary school, the ones that fold away with the metal legs. well yea, the idea of the megaslide is to pick the table up from one end so it forms a slide, and then pick up the nearest object you can find and sliding it down. it probably doesn't sound that great to anyone who hasnt witnessed a slide before, but believe me, when you're drunk its the best thing.
this is the end result of one megaslide. possibly one of my favourite pictures.
but yea, theres so much to say about university that i don't know how to explain it to anyone who asks. which is a shame because there is so much i want to say, so many stories to tell but i guess its just something you have to be there to experience.
i miss my friends at home alot. tonight has very much been a night of reminicising about old times, in particular the last 2 years of my life. looking through old pictures on facebook makes me the happiest person. i really do have the most amazing group of friends, and i'm so grateful for it. i'm so excited about christmas, and plans for next summer. as i said before, i've made really good friends here at university, but i love you all loads (you know who you are) and i can't wait to see you all.
it's getting pretty late, probably should go to sleep. i have a lecture at 1 tomorow, although technically its not really a lecture because its a screening of some rubbish film i'd imagine. its funny mentioning lectures, as the whole point of going to university is to get a degree, but so far the academic side of university life has hardly even mattered. from what i've experienced so far, my course is fucking bollocks. film is nothing like how it was at college. i have to do compulsory modules, one being film history & criticism which is literally the most toilet thing, watching 1920's silent films for 3 hours. and english is pretty shit. i have to do a module in lingusitics which is the biggest load of bullshit i've ever heard. the lecturer looks like maxine carr, shes an absolute arsehole who teaches us about what part of your mouth makes certain sounds. like i actually care. at the end of the day, you speak, and whatever happens happens. i can't wait to fail this year.
so that concludes my first post. here's some pictures to sum up the last 8 amazing weeks. see ya
