2 weeks of uni in 1 crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy post

So I'm now at the university of Greenwich in Kent and ave been for 2 wks. It's been an epic 2 wks but I won't be detailing every second of it as otherwise this post would be massive. First off, just to reassure u lot, I love uni even though the work has now started and I ave a 10 page essay to write. I been cooking for myself most days and I'm enjoying the independence though the experience was a bit scary for the first few days.

My room is definitely big enough and so is r kitchen. The university of Kent, who shares r campus, ave better accommodation and pay less and ave a Tesco, dominos and subway on site. I'm jealous even if the don't live on campus like me. I share my flat with 5 other people though one, who is Chinese, we see nothing of. We ave never seen him in the kitchen to feed himself so we ave no idea how he's being fed. The other 4 r cool and I get on well with them.

Now onto freshers wk which has to be one of my weirdest wks ever. Afternoon sleeps were the norm for everyone mainly cause I can't sleep past 10 and I got back most nights at 3am.

On Saturday I was the first to move in. I unpacked then went on a final lunch with my family and then I said my goodbyes. However when I got back to the falt I found another persons stuff in the kitchen but I never saw anything of this person till Sunday. This meant I was the only one that moved in on Saturday so when I went to the bbq at 5 I knew no one :(. But due to 2nd/3rd yrs being friendly and a speed meet thing I quickly made friends and met people who were on my course. On Sunday the other 5 flatmates arrived. Later on there was another free bbq and a rock and roll Bingo where ur given a sheet with 9 tracks and it's the 1st person to have all their tracks played. Monday was a School Disco where I dressed in a white shirt and tie and I partied hard till 2 am. Tuesday was a pub crawl where I found my local weatherspoons. I think we visited a total of 4 pubs which is better than what I normally achieve with the cf crew. Wednesday was neon rave where I wore neon paint, colourful clothing, uv hair spray, glitter and a slinky which made me look like this:

It was a fun night :). On Thursday we went to a club called casino rooms. It has 3 dancefloors and the top one is humongous. Also every Thursday, due to it being student night, it's free entrance and 3 for 1 drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Friday night thinks started to get interesting, as due to me playing a drinking game, I was forced to down 1 1/3 pints of some Stella and Sainsbury cider contraption and snort some. As u can see I wasn't v lucky. Finally it was Saturday and the night of the freshers ball. Not sure if it was worth £14 but it was gd fun and the band that played 1st were brilliant. Also there was a face painting stand which transformed me into this:

I also forgot to mention that throughout freshers' wk I had an induction wk for my course which resulted in me somedays starting at 9 and being v tired.

This wk, unlike freshers' wk, has zoomed by. I started my course and the lectures went fine though I've already had some coursework set :(.

And that was my 2 wks. Luckily throughout these 2 wks I was only hungover once and that was the 1st Sunday morning :).

Bye Bye Chandler's Ford

So this Saturday I'm going off to Kent to enjoy the wonders of uni :). Should be gd but it's scarily close and I'm gonna miss everyone. Sure we will meet up at Christmas loads but that seems ages away (even though shops have started selling advent calenders). This time next week I'll be cooking all my meals and doing all the washing. Also it's annoying as I know no one else who is going to my university.

Anyway, I ave't blogged in a while. I been clubbing on both Tuesdays cause Tuesday is student night :). I enjoyed myself a lot. We seem to spend most of r time at Reflex cause 80's music is amazing.

Last Thursday I went to Thorpe Park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went with Jacob, James, Alex and Colin. The weather, for once, was actually gd (that means there was sun and it only rained for 20 mins) and there were barley any queues. The longest was for Nemesis which was around 3/4 of a hour but that was only because someone was sick. We went on basically everything and rumba rapids twice as it's that epic. We also went on the new weird maze thing 'Saw Alive'. It's actually a fun experience but depending how far back u r the less scary it was. It mainly involves a lot of actors jumping out at u. It's gd fun but I can't see it being v much fun the 2nd time round. We spent a whole 7hours in the park and now I can once again say that I've been on every ride in Thorpe Park :)

On Sunday I went to see what was Ragnarok but now is Icarus Rising. That actually played really well. We were all completely shocked when, at the end of the gig, they announced the name change. Life will never be the same again :(.

R.I.P Ragnarok
U'll be missed forever

Yesterday I took my Granny out to the Cleveland Bay to catch up and to say bye before uni. We had a lovely meal. Then yesterday night I went to Alex's for a farewell party. It was a bit emotional as I won't see a lot of them till Christmas but it was still a fun party. I stayed round for a whole hour after everyone else had left which I spent reminiscing with Alex. It's going to be weird going to a different educational place and we've always gone to the same school/college and I've known him basically since birth.

tomorrow I've set a side for packing though it won't take long.

So the next time I'll talk to u lot I'll be at uni :o.

Bye Bye Chandler's Ford

Wicked was well wicked :)

Hello there

I aven't blogged in over a wk and a half. sorry about that

On Wednesday I went to see Wicked in the London's Apollo Victoria Theatre and it was just amazing. The story was completely different to what I thought it was going to be and it means I can never watch the Wizard of Oz in the same way. All the actors and actresses could sing amazingly well especially the girl who played Elphaba (the green witch). I would say more but I don't want to spoil the story.

On Friday and Saturday I was supposed to go gliding but it was cancelled due to a lack of instructors :(. So I didn't get to go into a plane with no engine which would be towed into the sky by a plane with an engine, then the plane would fly off without me, to leave my plane to fall with no engine. I know it sounds suicidal but it's not and it would of been fun.

This meant that on Saturday I could celebrate Stephen's birthday which was over a wk ago. We first of went round his house for a bbq then we went to the king Rufus for some alcohol :)

Today I was supposed to go to the dentist but apparently I didn't ave an appointment. My mum was sure she booked one but I'm still blaming her.

Also 2night I'm going out to Southampton to party and such as it's student night :) and on Thursday I'm going to Thorpe Park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blogger has recently released a new section where I can see a load of stats about my blog. Apparently the post with the most views was happiness with a hint of sadness. Also most people view my blog from the UK but I ave some views from Iran and China. Most people also use firefox to view my blog but I always use Chrome. Finally since May 2010 I've had 566 views so thanks u lot. U've made my day.

And that is what I've been up to. I only ave 11 days left in Chandler's Ford :O

I get into a Tank

So it's been a wk. I been up to quite a bit. I been cooking my own food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Monday I cooked Chilli Con Carne, Tuesday: Lamb casserole, Wednesday: Tuna and Mushroom Pasta and Thursday: sausages. 


On Wednesday, I once again went to the pub quiz and we had r best ever performance. We came 4th, got full marks in 2 rounds and were 2 points away from coming 3rd and getting some money.


On Saturday I went to a place in Winchester to drive tanks and such. It was my dad's birthday pressy as he has apparently wanted to do it for a while. But he wanted some company, he doesn't ave many friends, so I went a long with him. So I got to drive a Chieftain Main Battle Tank: Now it's not too hard to drive. There is a stick either side of the seat for steering, a throttle and an annoying gear peddle. There is a brake but u don't use it (reassuring isn't it). No clutch which made my life easier and all I had to do is drive it forwards and backwards. Here's a pic for u: 
















Next up was the FV 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier. This also had two steering levers but this time they were in front of the seat. U have to pull them quite hard to make it move. It's automatic but has no brakes (just take ur foot of the pedal). And this one i was allowed to go around a circuit with. Here's a pic and yes that's me driving:

Then it was the Abbot Mobile Gun. It was basically like the carrier but heavier. Here's a pic:

Finally there was some Quad bikes and that was it. I really enjoyed my day out and here's my certificate to prove that it really happened: 


















And that was my wk.


Bye


P.S: Here's a bear that wants a hug and if u aren't right now hugging the screen which ur reading this on then ur strange. 

Results r in

So results. They came up quickly. It only seems a while ago that we were actually taking the exams. So I Got into Greenwich :). Sadly I didn't get into Cardiff but I'll be v happy at Greenwich (where I'll actually be in Kent). I was happy with all my grades except Maths cause I've had a B in all 4 of the papers but I ended up with an overall C as my coursework was a D. I don't want to work out how close I was to a B as it was probably quite close. But it doesn't matter that much as even if I had gotten that B I wouldn't ave got into Cardiff. 


After I had read my results and gone onto UCAS and read it saying 'Congratulations! Your place at University of Greenwich (G70) to study Mechanical Engineering (H300) has been confirmed.' I decided to go out and party with my friends who had been celebrating since 10. I went to the pub and tired some brilliant cocktails then didn't feel that well the next day. I'm a lightweight but I don't care. 


Friday and today i been doing hardly anything except practising ironing :) 


Anyway I forgot to do two things on my last blog. Ask where in Cyprus GEORGE FRANK OWEN BARK went (I found out at the pub that he went all over Cyprus (Both North and South)) and have an X factor Rant. Now if u look at the bottom of this post u'll see what time i started writing this and it was whilst X factor was on (which is still on now). I would normally watch X factor but now that it's in its 7th(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) series it's gotten boring. And what happened to Joe. The same thing that happens to all the winners. They disappear then reappear a yr later when we r already focused on the new contestants. Also the show is on for two long as it's on now till Christmas which is  4 months away!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


Well that's about it. I hope u were all happy with ur results.


Bye
